This September, Marvel Zombies returns to life in Marvel Zombies: War Zone, and this time, it won’t be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes who save the day—it’ll be Earth’s toughest! The five-issue limited series will be written by Tom Waltz, known for his gruesome work on Wolverine: Blood Hunt and Knull, and drawn by Jaime Infante, in his fearsome Marvel Comics debut.
The latest Marvel Zombies nightmare begins after the Avengers and the Fantastic Four fail to stop a zombie plague from devastating New York City. Now sealed off as a deadly quarantine zone, humanity’s last hope rests with PUNISHER and a team of street-level heroes including LUKE CAGE, ELEKTRA, IRON FIST and MOON KNIGHT. Together, this ragtag group of deadly heroes will have to uncover the origin of the outbreak and break down the barrier before the infection consumes everything.
ESCAPE THE HUNGER!
A zombie outbreak has hit Manhattan and the whole city is rapidly overrun! As Earth’s Mightiest Heroes succumb to the virus, a barrier is hastily erected to protect the world—but inside the barrier, a war zone has broken out as survivors fight for their lives against the ever-growing horde. However, one man isn’t looking for survival – he’s after answers as he carves a bloody swathe of his own through the ravaged city. And if any zombies get in his way? Well, the PUNISHER has plenty of lead that they can eat!

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ’78, PLANET DEATH) and world-renowned comics legend, David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS, THE HERO TRADE), hit the accelerator in the explosive finale to their two-part, high-stakes action extravaganza.
While Detective Hank Howard was busy getting hot and heavy with an old flame, Big Caligula customer George Horvath’s body grew colder than day-old pizza. Now, South Florida’s favorite regional pizza chain is under fire, assailed by wrongful death accusations from the grieving widow he left behind. But something smells fishy, and it’s not the anchovies. Hank knows Horvath was murdered by someone looking to get their palm greased and he’s out to prove it. Locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Hank must brave a den of thieves – The Gasparilla Pirate Festival – to hunt down the killer and bring them to justice. But he better stay frosty because someone’s packing heat and this festival promised fireworks.
