In recent years, Marvel Comics' "Black, White & Blood" titles have delivered some of the most violent and savage adventures of pop culture's deadliest icons including Wolverine, Carnage, Moon Knight, and even the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.
The line continues this October by reviving the Marvel Zombies as part of a new four-issue series.
Just in time for the Halloween season, Marvel Zombies: Black, White & Blood promises to satisfy our cravings for terror with shocking tales from a host of all-star writers and artists.
Described as an "action-packed, utterly original, gloriously gory anthology series," the stories are set in a universe where the Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man, and many more Marvel heroes and villains are beset by ever-growing zombie hordes and transformed into flesh-eating monstrosities.
In a brutal, bloodstained world, can hope survive? Or will creeping, gnawing, shambling horror win out at last?
Today, Marvel Comics has announced that its Stormbreaker artists will join the fun with a host of awesome variant covers. These inventive artists will tap into true terror with haunting depictions of flesh-eating monstrosities, putting a spin on these heroes in a suitably nightmarish fashion.
Each month, Marvel's Stormbreakers bring their incredible talents to various comic series and characters to flex their skills with themed variant cover collections. The current group of artists includes Elena Casagrande, Nic Klein, Jan Bazaldua, Chris Allen, Martin Coccolo, Lucas Werneck, Federico Vicentini, and C.F. Villa.
These artists embody the raw talent and creative potential to shatter the limits of visual storytelling in comics today. As the next evolution of the groundbreaking Marvel's Young Guns program, Marvel's Stormbreakers continues the tradition of spotlighting and elevating these powerful artists to showcase their abilities, artwork and prominence in the world of comic books.
