Books like Marvel Zombies

This almost killed me. It’s just so hilariously funny. Without wanting to sound too indifferent, I don’t laugh a lot. Things rarely make me laugh. It takes a lot to make me truly laugh. This was absolutely delightful. It’s so twisted, so messed up, so brutal, so perfectly ironic and to the point, that I was practically on the floor at some points. However, the first issue did pain me a little. I have a soft spot for Magneto, blame Sir Ian Mckellen for that. So when I see him being hunted by the zombie versions of most of the marvel superheroes, it was quite traumatic. But the end result was weirdly funny. Despite being a horror comic, this relies heavily on dark humour in its most twisted form. Have you ever wondered what it would be like as a zombie? Well these guys retain their minds and personalities. Well, sort of. They have many ironic digs at their own lamentable condition. They’re all utterly relentless in their decay. Wolverine’s arm falls of, Spiderman breaks his leg and Iron Man’s bottom half is exploded. Yet these undead heroes keep seeking food. And they’ve none left. Not after Magneto was fought over. So they turn to space. And that’s when I stopped reading. This had some funny moments, but after these first few issues I can only see the story getting worse and the humour leaning towards redundancy. I enjoyed this, but I need no more.
