Book of Doom: Marvel Zombies: Dead Days

Let’s face it: this is a pretty crappy week for comics. Nothing much of interest comes out this week besides Countdown (which Doom DeLuise has dibs on), and almost everything else worth reading is in the middle of an arc. Not exactly the best pick for a Book of Doom.

Thankfully, there is one comic I expect to be quite a gem: the Marvel Zombies prequel entitle Dead Days. The creative team from last year’s surprise hit is back for the issue, unlike the not-nearly-as-good-but-still-a-decent-read Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness. So hopefully Dead Days will have all the things we loved about the original Marvel Zombies series. It’s at least going to have Marvels and zombies, so there’s two positives right off the bat.

Unfortunately, there won’t be a guest blogger this week, because, well, I dropped the ball and didn’t think far enough ahead. But if you’ve got a comics blog and want to join the roundtable (and create a little crossover traffic in the process), leave a comment below and we just might have one after all.

You won’t get that in this month’s New Avengers, effendi! And we dare you to pry your eyes away from Arthur Suydam’s top-secret double-gatefold zombified homage to a classic 1990’s cover you don’t want to miss.
