The first issue is awesome! After that... it all falls apart.
It's kind of fascinating how this book managed to latch onto 2 of the most contested aspects of the MCU and run full speed ahead with them. Bruce/Nat was a terrible (and extremely random) idea and this book focused on that for a bit. Tony's decision to destroy his suits in Iron Man 3 (for love?) was highly contested and this book runs with that, too in a random one shot
Anyway, issue 1 is gold. The rest, not so much.

Well that was cute.
I know, I know, end of the world Zombie story. But its done in a mostly silly Manga style with the Avengers. The last chapter is an unrelated Tony & Pepper story that is sickeningly sweet.

Esse mangá dos Vingadores se passa no Universo MCU. Mais precisamente depois do primeiro filme dos Vingadores. Um vírus zumbi começa a atacar os Estados Unidos (claro!) e alguns Vingadore acabam infectados, como Thor e a Viúva Negra. Thor chega, inclusive a perder o olho. Lá pelas tantas, se descobre que o vírus zumbi veio dos Chitauris e que os humanos estão no processo de virar esses alienígenas. Um quadrinho bem nhé, um formato de quadrinho ruim de se ler, pequeno e com muuuitas páginas para o formato. A melhor parte mesmo é a que foca no relacionamento entre Tony Stark e Pepper Potts, fora isso, é relmente um quadrinho para uma criança de 10 a 14 anos que se encantou com o universo Marvel a partir dos filmes do Joss Whedon. Realmente não foi feito pensando em mim, hahaha!

The story was OK - but overall it left me a bit cold.
My overall rating is 2.5 - probably only one for superhero fans.

Probably the worst thing I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

Manga humour really just hits different than Marvel homebase's style.
Visually this looks clearly meant to be a tie in to the MCU. The character design and relationships reflect the movie version. This is what gives me mixed feelings. Like the Japanese brand of humour is definitely different from the movies. As a reader of this book, I like it A LOT. I love manga! But when I compare it to the movies, I can't help but feel like there's something that doesn't fit.
I really like the art, though. Oh man, there's that one panel where Tony is talking in the foreground, but in the background there's this very small scene of Clint giving Natasha a handkerchief to wipe off the . That kind of small detail makes me crack up.
And this adaptation also incorporate the from Ultron, and I'm game for it. It's really sweet in this story.
The zombie plot is really WTF at first, but as I keep reading, I got more into it? Not sure if it is indication of good writing or if manga in general just does that to me.

Scusate, non solo ci mettete dentro il mio adoratissimo Hawkeye, ma ci sono anche gli zombie... Io adoro queste cose!
Personaggi molto riconoscibili, alcune battute perfette per la storia. Del fatto che si prendano in considerazione linee narrative (tipo il rapporto tra Nat e Bruce Banner) che non sembrano piacere ai fan duri e puri della Marvel... Chissefrega! Io non sono una fan dura e pura e ho adorato questo primo volume!
Cioè, la valutazione media al momento in cui scrivo è di 2,92... Io ho dato addirittura quattro stelline...

Its not that bad. So this is a noncanon story that sets its timeline as following the events of the first Avengers movie with a minor segue to The Age of Ultron. That part is irrelevant but just consider this to be fan fiction story based in a manga format. It is funny, it is gross, and just fun. Enjoy it. The only bad part I will consider is that of the 4 issues to this volume, 3 tell the main story with the final issue telling a Tony Stark backstory.

Starts off pretty strong, cool idea of where the virus originated etc.
Takes places straight after the Avengers Movie.
A few little throw aways, like about to destroy the iron man suits again. Showing the connect of Bruce and Natasha. Weak reason for all the 'doing' of this, by Jasper.
All in all, a fun read, but not 'can't put down'.

I don't like manga but I love the Marvel zombies... which will win out? Obviously by the one star rating... I hated it. The story line is closer to the Marvel cinematic universe than it is the Marvel Zombies universe but the characters all look, talk, and act like hormonal teenagers. Yuck!

Entretenida historia de una crisis zombie con los vengadores como protas. Además de un capítulo adicional anterior a la película de Ultron.
Dibujo y guion para divertirse y continuaré con la serie

Easy infection. Vaccine misdirect. Quite a twist with the zombies. Pepper Pots is interesting.

Purtroppo è il solito adattamento "manga" a una anche valida, storia Marvel.
Poco consistente, troppo veloce, ma storia coerente con il motivo del virus zombie.

A lot of fun, and neat to see this in anime style.

This book was interesting. I liked the manga and zombies style and how it connects to the early mcu.

Not as bad as people are rating it. It's just a mindless fun elseworld story about zombies attacking the Avengers. You won't find anything outstanding and I wouldn't say it's 'good' but the book serves it's purpose, which is to entertain. Based on the other reviews it seems like it's bunch of out of touch adults who are perplexed by the manga format, they complain about the exaggerated characterizations when if you're a manga/anime fan this is pretty much the standard in the Japanese media, with characters usually being much expressive both in speech and actions. It seems like they're stuck in the past, not realizing that manga has surpassed their old floppy comic books.
On an end note though, I do find the issue #0 one-shot at the end of the book to be very charming, it's packed full of Tony/Pepper fluff(fanfiction term, google it) that's irresistibly sweet.
