Marvel’s smash series Marvel Zombies is here in trade paperback with a special direct market cover, showing Iron Man–Tony Stark–battling his inner demons: alcohol, and the zombie virus!

By Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead fame, Marvel Zombies depicts a threat that first came from the skies: a horrific virus that turned nearly every man, woman, and child on Earth into undead zombies. Even Marvel’s greatest heroes, including Captain America, Spider-Man and the Hulk, have succumbed, driven only by one mindless goal: to feed on human flesh. But with only a small number of survivors remaining against this unstoppable tide of hunger, what happens when the zombies finally run out of humans to eat?!

Comic-book fans devoted enough to read only Marvel titles have long been dubbed “Marvel zombies,” but even the most passionate reader could not have predicted the astounding success of this series. Writer Robert Kirkman crafts a shocking, spellbinding tale of a Marvel Universe infected by a worldwide zombie plague. Veteran artist Sean Phillips fleshes out Kirkman’s tale, ably transforming once-familiar Marvel heroes into disturbing visions of decaying flesh and rotting bones.

Walking Dead #66 comes out today (when the truck comes in, that is) and I’m super psyched to see the final issue of the “Hunters” arc. Rick and the rest of the survivors are tired and scared. They’re down to three days of food at best and nearly lost Dale to a bunch of psychotic “hunters” who are also hungry…so hungry they’ve turned to cannibalism.

Kirkman’s Walking Dead is exactly what horror comics should be. The best thing is…we get to experience it year-round. If you haven’t yet jumped aboard, do yourself a favor and pick up a couple of the most recent issues and then tune in to see what happens in Walking Dead #66 because it promises to change TWD forever.

To this day Cyblade is the only actual comic series to come out of the first two Pilot Seasons, though it remains to be seen what lies ahead for Pilot Season 2008 winners, Twilight Guardian and Genius. (Go Genius!)

One thing’s for sure, the first Pilot Season managed to garner some 4.5 million online votes, which testifies to some serious fan interest. And with Kirkman creating the 2009 Pilot Season properties, the revamped Pilot Season may prove to be an excellent way for Top Cow to test the waters before plunging in and launching a new series with all its attendant expenses.
