Marvel Comics has provided us with a sneak peek at some of the titles arriving next week. This weekend Major Spoilers brings you Avengers: The Initiative 5, Black Panther 30, Fantastic Four 549, Silver Surfer: Requiem 4, World War Hulk: X-Men 3, and Stan Lee’s The Last Fantastic Four Story. I’ve taken a peek at the full issue of the Last Fantastic Four Story, and it isn’t half bad in a Stan Lee sort of way. It’s an interesting tale that doesn’t end like you might expect it.
On Wednesday you can expect a full review of the latest Initiative installment, but for now take the jump for a preview of things to come.

Diamond Select Toys has announced a brand new six-inch bust of Zombie Spider-Man. It’s not a full body sculpt, but rather just the top half of the undead wall crawler that is sure to give the kiddies nightmares. This is one gruesome looking statue for fans of the Marvel Zombies series.
Sculpted by Rudy Garcia and limited to only 600 pieces, this six-inch bust will be available exclusively through Wizard Entertainment’s Toyfare magazine. Each bust will also feature a hand-numbered base with matching box and Certificate of Authenticity.
Well, looks like I won’t be getting this one, as it will probably be snatched up as soon as it is made available.

Or – “How To Escape Certain Death With Style & Grace (And A Chainsaw Hand.)”
The problem with prequels is as simple as it is obvious. As soon as this series began, we knew where it was going to end, with Palpantine taking over as Emperor. We knew that the plague would take over the entire world, we knew that no one would survive, so we needed a charismatic lead and a good story to carry it. Ash Williams fits the first bill, and his desperate travels through this Marvel Universe have ably (and entertainingly) provided the second. Now, with the end of the zombie apocalypse upon us, the most pertinent question is “How will Ash survive?” As with every M.Z. story, there are some possibly disturbing images after the tab, so continue at your own risk…
Marvel has announced yet another printing of the Marvel Zombies hard cover. This fifth printing will have yet another Arthur Suydam cover that is an homage to Mary Jane #1. The hard cover collects Marvel Zombies #1 – #5 that shows what happens when the Marvel Universe goes all zombie.
Take the jump for this creepy cover.
Or – “Latveriaaa… Latveriaaa… You Border On The Adriiiiatic!”
So, after three issues of Ultimate Fantastic Four, the five issue original miniseries, another UFF crossover, four issues of this mini, the ‘Dead Days’ one-shot, the Fantastic Four crossover, and the Dead Days one-shot, have the Marvel Zombies finally reached the apex of their coolness? There are only so many ways to say “Everybody dies!” after all, although I prefer the fey, disaffected “You die, she dies, EVVVVerybody dies,” from Heavy Metal, m’self. Is this the issue where the franchise is finally (you should excuse the expression) cannibalized?
Have you had your fill of Marvel Zombies yet? No, well you are in luck as the runaway brain eating sensation Marvel Zombies make yet another appearance in Black Panther #28. Marvel sends along a sneak peek of the gory goodness.
Riding high on the Marvel Zombie train, Diamond Select Toys as announced two San Diego Comic Con exclusive Minimates; zombie-fied versions of Daredevil and Giant Man.
Take the jump for the pics and more info!
If you love Marvel Zombies, and can’t get enough of zombie merchandise, then pack your bags for San Diego. This year at the San Diego Comic Convention Diamond Select Toys will be selling a show exclusive featuring Colonel America in all his zombie gory glory.
The bust limited edition bust is sculpted by William Paquet and will sell for $60.
Dynamite Entertainment and Marvel Comics have announced veteran Marvel Zombie artists Sean Philips and Fernando Blanco are teaming up with regular series artist Fabiano Neves to complete Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness #4 and #5.
In a prepared statement Dynamite said,”Fans are getting the Triple Crown winner of artists with these last two issues of Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness. Teaming up Sean Phillips and Fernando Blanco with Fabiano Neves for the big climax is like… well, it’s like having the Marvel Zombies and Ash in the same series! Sean’s pencils certainly know their way around the brutal world of Marvel Zombies, and AOD fans went crazy for Fernando’s work on the final issues of AOD (and the final days of Ash), so to have them both work on Ash’s afterlife adventures is simply ‘Dynamite’! Of course, regular series artist Fabiano Neves and writer John Layman will continue their incredible work on Earth-2149, keeping Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness the pure brain-craving, chainsaw-slashing action and excitement that it has been from the very beginning.”
Major Spoilers has a sneak peek of issue #4 after the jump!

Or – “For Those Of Us Who Like A Comic To Creep Us Right The @#&$ Out.”
I remember quite vividly the day I read Marvel Zombies #1. I had briefly flipped through the Fantastic Four issues that debuted the infected alternate Marvel Universe (Greg Land’s art always puts me off. Too much pornface!) but MZ #1 grabbed me from the first page, and when I got to the scene where the undead Avengers cornered Magneto, I was ready to write it off as a quickie tie-in to the cultural zeitgeist of Zombie Madness. But the scene didn’t stop. The recognizable heroes of my youth fell upon possibly the most well-known Marvel supervillain save maybe Doctor Doom and… ATE HIM. On panel. I clearly remember how disturbing it was, and how I just COULD NOT BELIEVE that Marvel had published it. That feeling is back, and I sort of love it, while still being disturbed. (Viewer discretion is advised. If you’re bothered by zombies, feel free to peruse our other reviews by clicking the link above…)
Yes! Our favorite zombie slayer Ash has been fighting the deadites/Marvel Zombies in an all new series, and today Dynamite Entertainment announced the sold out issue #3 will be going back to print with a brand new variant cover. Interestingly, this is going to be an exclusive limited run of 3000. With art by Arthur Suydam, the cover is a tribute to Marvel Graphic Novel #1: The Death of Captain Marvel.
It’s a pretty wicked cover that you can see after the jump.
Holy crap, if you didn’t get excited after reading the last installment of Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness, prepare to get totally blown away when the zombies take over other countries, forcing Ash and crew to seek help from none other than Dr. Doom.
If you haven’t read issue #3 yet, best of luck as Marvel tells Major Spoilers the issue has completely sold out at Diamond and has no plans to go back to press at this time.
Take the jump for a sneak peek of Issue #4 where more heroes turn to flesh eating undead.
Or – “Anybody Feel Like A Little Duck Pâté?”
The flying feathers crack me up… Looks like Cleveland’s finest could use a little ‘duck tape!’ Hey, don’t blame me, the comic made all the GOOD puns already. Now that the image of Zombie Howard The Duck has replaced Baby MODOK as the coolest individual comic book image of the last year or so, and it’s obvious that Ash has escaped his fatal “beakdown,” the truth can be revealed. Spoilerites are a sharp-eyed breed, and many of you picked up on the clues at the end of last issue, but here’s… The REST… of The Story.
Can’t get enough Marvel Zombies? Marvel will continue the zombie fever this May with Marvel Zombies: Dead Days. This is somewhat of a prequel taking place just prior to the Marvel Zombies mini-series, and from the sneak peek, it may even take place between Marvel Zombies v. Army of Darkness and Marvel Zombies.
The first Fantastic Four adventure with the new team of Black Panther, Storm, Human Torch, and the Thing are in for a big surprise – zombies! The Marvel zombies are once again invading in Black Panther #27, and we have a five page preview with all the action. Groovy!
