I noted this in my little Twitter doodad yesterday, but one of Marvel’s licensed property books, Anita Blake, is getting its own Marvel Zombie variant cover. I figured all of the Marvel Universe books were due for a zombie variant, but I guess the non-Marvel U. titles are fair game as well. So, look for your Marvel Illustrated: Man in the Iron Mask zombie variant cover, coming soon! It’s what Alexander Dumas would have wanted.
Good thing Marvel doesn’t do their Star Comics line anymore. Or, maybe, “too bad” — picture a Top Dog zombie variant, with Top Zombie gnawing at Joey’s skull, trying to get to the delicious, delicious brains within. How would that not be great?
