12 Facts About Marvel Zombies

Marvel Zombies is a five-issue limited series published from December 2005 to April 2006 by Marvel Comics.

Kirkman was Marvel's first choice to write Marvel Zombies, an offer Kirkman immediately accepted because of his love for zombies and Marvel comic books, feeling that he couldn't pass up such an opportunity.

Marvel Zombies expressed excitement upon learning which artist would be in charge of illustrating the series; Kirkman was a longtime fan of Phillips' work, like in DC Comics' Sleeper.

Kirkman added some black comedy to the story, and included some gore like most zombie stories do, expressing some shock at how Marvel Zombies allowed him and Phillips to incorporate those elements.

Marvel Zombies particularly liked to illustrate the zombie versions of Thor and Captain America.
