Today I picked up Marvel Zombies: Dead Days (actually a pretty good one-shot).

There's a full page of the zombified Alpha Flight attacking the Xmen. Heere's a quick scan I did:

The page after that shows Magneto showing up and jamming metal things into the heads of each Alpha Flight member, killing them. Later in the issue, Guardian is dissected and studied by Mr. Fantastic.

Anyone else read it?

lol, I missed this post. if one of the mods could merge my post (http://forum.alphaflight.net/viewtopic.php?t=2093) into this one it'd be appreciated. By the way, my post has a quick colour scan of that page.

This was a great oneshot. I enjoyed the fun stuff, like Zombie Powerman fighting Ironfist. Can't ever get enough zombies. :)

What is THIS? Alpha Flight was Zombiefied OFF-PANAL! This is an outrage! :wink:

But how is it Alpha Flight goes down before the X-Men? They live in Canada while the X-Men are in NY. Where the infection started. *sigh* And Northstar should have taken a bite out of half the team before they'd realize what was happening. Ah well. Still nice to see them.

Hey, someone should write a fan fic on the fall of Alpha Flight. :D

Never mind. I'll try one. I'll try to get it done by the weekend.

[Beta Ray Daz]

so it's worth picking up then??

[DaVeO]

Not as good as MZ vs AOD, Beta Ray Daz. And you'll see a lot of scenes where the heroes just go down too easy. But it's alright.

[Phil]

Hmm... I preferred it to MZ/AoD really.

I wouldn't say it's worth picking up just for the AF appearance, but if you liked the Marvel Zombies limited series it's a nice prequel.

[Beta Ray Daz]

thanks for your honest comments guys!

[JayCanuck]

Hmm.... It seems the page of zombified Alpha Flight from Marvel Zombies Dead Days is available for $750 USD at http://www.splashpageart.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=10588&GSub=0&GCat=9&Style=Text

I'm glad that the whole Zombieverse thing is a big seller for Marvel, but personally I think it's dumb. I dropped Ultimate FF at the start of the Zombie Universe storyline because I thought it was mindless and dumb... One thing that never gets explained is this, Why don't Zombies eat each other?

[JayCanuck]

One thing that never gets explained is this, Why don't Zombies eat each other?
That got explained in the original Marvel Zombies mini-series by them saying that eating eachother's dead, decaying flesh tasted absolutely awful. Not much of an explaination, but it's still just a fun series to read :-)

Sorry! Zombie's tastebuds work? The rest of their bodies are unfeeling deadness, but their tastebuds work? Makes sense!

Well it could just be in heir minds, lol, like the hunger

[Barnacle13]

Then again maybe live human flesh is less filling, so they can eat more. I'd imagine their digestive tracts don't work all that well either, so do they eat til they explode? They need to zombify Pink Pearl! I bet she could eat some flesh!!!!

[Rook]

So zombies only eat you until you start to decay? I mean at some point the corpse crosses some line and stops being food and becomes... a pal I guess... ?

In fairness, since their stomachs don't work they should fill up quickly, so your chances of remaining on the food chain for long are limited. You should become a bonefide pal within a few minutes I'd think. I mean when I sit down to eat it only takes 15-20 minutes before I feel completely full. Sure it'll be a painful few mintues, but after the initial shock you're lifeless long friends.

Most of us can only hope for such a fate - a long unlife of zombie comeraderie
