Marvel’s Darkest Variants Return in a ‘Blood-Soaked’ New Red Band Series

[[{“value”:”

Marvel is teasing the return of the fan-favorite Marvel Zombies stories with a special new Red Band series that tears apart the entire Marvel Universe.

Marvel’s press release for Marvel Zombies: Red Band teases the undead rising once more and infecting the very foundation of the Marvel Universe in a new five-issue limited series. Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan wrote the series with art by Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Jan Bazaldua. As one of Marvel’s Red Band titles, each issue will come with a parental advisory and polybagged with a warning, letting the story inside be limitless when it comes to its gore, blood and horror.

The newest Marvel Zombies story is set to put a new twist on the publisher’s undead comic adventures. The Red Band series will document how the undead consume their way throughout Marvel history, changing and infecting key stories. This will include a fateful space voyage of The Fantastic Four and the original Secret Wars.

THE DEAD RISE AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME!

It was the most important space flight in the history of the Marvel Universe – four intrepid heroes took off into the unknown and returned changed, gifted with great abilities…and hungering for human flesh! Travel back to the birth of a Marvel Universe parallel to our own but chock-full of horror since its very inception! Which heroes will rise to become the champions we know and love? Which will be torn limb from limb? And which will devour the scraps?

“Writing Marvel Zombies: Red Band is nothing short of a dream come true for Griffin and I,” author Ethan S. Parker said in Marvel’s press release. “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 his own thoughts on the new zombie story he created with Parker, saying, “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.”

Marvel Zombies: Red Band #1 can be pre-ordered at local comic book shops now ahead of its release on Sept. 17.
