The original Night of the Living Dead is one of my all time pet movies , and I love Peter Jackson ’s Dead Alive / Brain Dead . One of my best friends from college is famed zombie novelist David Wellington , who I was work with at the U.N. ( of all spot ) when he was write his peachy zombi trilogy , Monster Island , Monster Nation and Monster Planet . He would ricochet ideas off me and he would assure me about how he was struggling and working with the genre . So even though [ Marvel zombie 3 ] is my first major employment in the zombi world it felt intimate to me — like come home . A rotting , blood - spatter , intestine - run out home .
So much like coming home , in fact , that he may have managed to do what many before him have fail at – making sure that everyone , even brain - exhaust automaton , are glad at report ’s closing :
Let ’s just say certain zombies have taken advantage of the forward-looking science of a superhero universe to puzzle out their food shortage problem … By employing a machine from one of the single most controversial Marvel story lines of all time …
