There is a new show that has risen from the grave on Disney+, and it’s the animated series, Marvel Zombies. Marvel Zombies is a mini series consisting of 4 episodes, roughly 30 minutes long, with a second season already greenlit for production, with viewers hoping it can be seen in the near future.

For those who may be unaware, Marvel Zombies is not an original Disney-made idea; it was actually created by Robert Kirkman back in December 2005 to April 2006. You may recognize Robert Kirkman from his other projects like Invincible, The Walking Dead comics, and X-Force.

The basic information about Marvel Zombies comics is, there was a virus called the Quantum Virus, which is a no-brainer from the Quantum Realm. And that virus had infected one of Marvel’s heroes after they had been trapped there, not to give big spoilers on who. Then another hero had left to find them, and they did find them, however, just not in time; they had both turned into zombies in that realm.

The cool thing about Marvel Zombies is that when you’re infected with the virus, it’s not like normal zombie sci-fi where the zombies are dumb, slow, and out-of-life; the zombies in the Marvel universe keep their conscience while infected and turned. So yes, they kill and eat people like any other zombies in sci-fi, but they know what they are doing, and they do it just to settle their hunger.

So the two heroes were infected, made it out of the Quantum Realm and started to wreak havoc on the city of New York, spreading all over America, and then soon all around the world.

Now that chunk of information was about the Marvel Zombies comics, which is certainly recommended to those interested in Marvel or sci-fi in general; however, unfortunately, the show only takes inspiration from the comic series.  It is a distinctly different story from the original comics.

In the Disney series, the show has a ton of actual cast members from the live-action Marvel films, like Florence Pugh, Elizabeth Olsen, Randal Park, Simu Liu, Paul Rudd, and Wyatt Russell. And even some new faces, including Mahershala Ali’s Blade, are crossed with the avatar of Khonshu, the Egyptian god in the Marvel universe, making Blade become Moonknight.

The new series is definitely set for some new opinions due to it being one of a handful of animated series made by Marvel in their shaded animation style, which is still a bit of a new thing for Marvel. The series is up now for watchers to binge on their afternoons on Disney+.
