    Capes & Tights - Justin Soderberg Sep 5, 2024

    It's always nice to escape the main Marvel continuity for a little romp in zombie land.

    Maybe it's OK on its own, but with hordes of vampires in Blood Hunt and hordes of zombiotes in Venom War, I'm past the point of exhaustion with infection-spreading hordes.
