After finishing the Marvel Zombies TV show on Disney+ (which I really enjoyed), I decided to pick up issues #1 and #2 — and they did not disappoint. This is a blast from start to finish: brutal, funny, and surprisingly smart. The setup with the Fantastic Four leading the apocalypse is genius — turning Marvel’s brightest minds into its biggest threat instantly raises the stakes.
The world-building here is great too, pulling in the Avengers, X-Men, and even a compelling Spider-Man subplot that adds real heart to all the gore. Daredevil’s yellow-and-red suit and Iron Man’s classic armor add a nostalgic charm that balances the chaos perfectly.
Bazaldua’s art and Arciniega’s colors are spectacular — the gore is stylish, the action crisp, and the character work top-tier. Parker and Sheridan clearly had fun crafting this twisted universe, and it shows on every page. That final sequence with Thor and Silver Surfer? Absolutely wild. And issue #2 with the X-Men and Hean Gray and Jewel. Good times!
Marvel really delivered with this series — I’m hooked and can’t wait to see what comes next.

1.5 rounded up to 2⭐️
Marvel Zombies: Red Band #1 is a Marvel Comics issue written by Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan, art by Jan Bazaldua, and colors by Erick Arciniega.
A reimagining of the 1960s era Marvel Universe where when the Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm return to Earth after their groundbreaking space flight, they land with new found powers, and an insatiable hunger for human flesh! Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Daredevil team-up to protect the citizens of New York from the Frightful Four.
An interesting premise that has some of the worst writing and pacing I have ever read for a Marvel Comic. The first couple Marvel Zombies volumes are absolute classic and they started going down hill fast after that. Those later volumes look like works of Shakespeare compared to this. Events unfold very randomly, similar to some silver age stories. These random encounters feel incredibly forced and unnatural in today’s comic storytelling.
The manga-inspired art also feels flat, lacking depth and attention to detail. In a world of super-powered zombies ripping each other apart, we need to see that grizzly detail.
As always, milage may vary, but I cannot recommend this title at all.

Weak and lame. Just more of the same. Will Marvel ever stop with this repetitive trash? This idea ran its course, like The Walking Dead, years ago. But I guess if people insist on reading this pap, they'll just keep having writers write it. As I said in my first line, this is weak. Nothing original here at all. And SPOILER ALERT: the way they killed off Thor just because he could likely kill thousands of zombies with a thought, well, weak comes to mind. Likely not going to spend any more time reading this lame series.

This is my review for issue #1. This new book is a chilling, gory, and intriguing start to the new Marvel Zombies Red Band series. Great artwork, awesome story, Fantastic (no pun intended) ensemble, stemming from the FF, Daredevil, and the Avengers. Can't wait to read more!

I gotta say this was a fun first issue. The art is nice and the story is pretty engaging and enjoyable. Can’t wait to see what the next issue brings. 🧟♂️
