Zombie is the New Vampire: 'Marvel Zombies Supreme'

Mark Millar introduced zombies to the Ultimate Universe in the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four. Robert Kirkman mined the idea to huge fan fervor shortly thereafter in Marvel Zombies. Since then, Marvel characters have been zombified several times over and the fans have been, excuse the inexcusable pun, eating it up.

In March 2011 Marvel will publish Marvel Zombies Supreme, a five-issue mini series featuring zombie versions of the Squadron Supreme—Marvel’s loose homage to the JLA. Writer Frank Marafino will bring the flesh eating nastiness to life with the aid of Artists Fernando Blanco. Credit cover artist Michael Komarck for setting the creepy tone this book aims to evoke.

From the Press Release:
Responding to a mysterious emergency call, Jill Harper and her super-crisis special-ops unit descend deep into the bowels of a top secret underground research facility. They discover that the demented experiments of an unhinged geneticist have placed them at ground zero of a brand new virulent zombie strain – one that has infected powerful superheroes. The Squadron Supreme, once heroic defenders of justice and utopian ideals, have been reduced to corpulent cannibalistic murderers with a voracious appetite for human flesh. Harper and her team fight against overwhelming odds to stop this ravenous zombie menace where it began – before it spreads out to devour the earth.
