The biggest surprise hit of the comic world in 2006 has to be Marvel Comics' "Marvel Zombies." The series spun out of a story in "Ultimate Fantastic Four," written by red-hot scribe Mark Millar, in which he introduced readers to an alternate Marvel Universe filled with zombified versions of Marvel Super Heroes. Writer Robert Kirkman and artist Sean Phillips picked up the ball and crafted the highly successful mini-series. Each issue was graced by a fully painted Arthur Suydam cover which paid homage to a great Marvel cover from the past. No one could have predicted what came next - every issue saw at least a second printing, with some issues seeing third and fourth printings, and continued demands of more Marvel Zombies stories from excited fans.
Their demands were answered when it was revealed a "Marvel Zombies" prequel one-shot was in the works by the same creative team. But, the excitement doesn't stop there.
The Marvel Zombies will cross-over with one of the most beloved cult franchises of all time, "Army of Darkness." "Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness" is a new five-issue cross-over series to come from Marvel Comics and Dynamite Entertainment in March of 2007, bringing the highly popular hero Ashley J. Williams of "Army of Darkness" and "Evil Dead" fame into the Marvel Zombies world. The cross-over is a rather unusual and special event for both Marvel and Dynamite. For one, it's bringing together one of the most beloved horror properties in "Army of Darkness" with one of the hottest horror properties in comics, "Marvel Zombies." In addition, this is the first time Marvel has participated in an inter-company crossover with the fledgling Dynamite Entertainment and is also the first multi-part cross-over Marvel has participated in since the 2003 "JLA/Avengers" cross-over, making this clash of the undead exciting not only for fans, but also for comic book historians.
