Announced last week at Fangoria, Marvel Zombies rise again this September—more gruesome than ever as they infect the very foundation of the Marvel Universe!

MARVEL ZOMBIES: RED BAND will be a five-issue limited series written by Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan, the acclaimed writing duo who make their Marvel Comics debut next week in Bring on the Bad Guys: Green Goblin #1, and drawn by Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Jan Bazaldua. Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged with a warning for explicit content, the Red Band imprint unleashes the full potential of Marvel Zombies storytelling, shattering any limits on gore, blood and horror! In the upcoming saga, the undead will consume Marvel Comics history, ravaging pivotal stories with their insatiable hunger including the fateful space voyage of Marvel’s First Family and the original Secret Wars!

Comic Watch Review:

Parker said about the series:

“Writing Marvel Zombies: Red Band is nothing short of a dream come true for Griffin and I, As lifelong fans of the Marvel Universe and its storied past, as well as writers who have made their love for the genre of bloodsoaked horror a matter of public record, this project could not be more in our sweet spot. With Jan Bazaldua and the rest of the unbelievable talent bringing this crazy book to life, we are rewriting Marvel history in new and terrifying ways, and we sincerely hope you’ll join us.”

Sheridan added.

“Ethan and I are like mad scientists combining so many different things we love on Marvel Zombies: Red Band,” “The result is this viscera-drenched, blood-soaked, gut-covered epic spanning across all the biggest events in Marvel history. It really should be clear, we have so much appreciation for the Marvel Universe… which is why it is such a shame that we have to rip it to shreds in the kind of disgusting fashion that one can only find on the other side of a freshly torn open polybag. See you there, True Believer.”
