Marvel Zombies: Red Band #1 reinvigorates the franchise with a mix of bloody mayhem and heartfelt character beats, centering Peter Parker in a way that adds emotional weight to the carnage. While some art details falter and the book leans heavily into gore, the early Marvel setting, wild zombie action, and big-picture cosmic tease make this one of the strongest entries in the line to date.

Marvel Zombies: Red Band #1 is an ok start. It doesn't deliver much new that really jumps out but ends on an intriguing tease. It's a reboot of the property with a new label that teases an edgier take but overall doesn't feel that much different. It feels a little more hyped up than what's delivered. But still, going into the spooky season, it could be fun entertainment. Read Full Review
Writers Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan have lots of fun with the premise here, with their iteration of the zombies themselves leaving on the smart and sentient variant of that genre. Some of the kills here are especially creative and gruesome, but the piece de resistance in particular is one twisting of a characters classic battle cry that I wont spoil. Jan Bazalduas art is similarly good, marrying the old-timey aesthetic of the era with bloody visuals lovingly colored by Erick Arciniega. As I said, Marvel Zombies: Red Band is exactly what the people who want it would expect, and theres something to be said for knowing your audience. Read Full Review
Plot
This version of Marvel Zombies reimagines the origins of Marvel Comics in the 1960s, when Spider-Man, Thor/Donald Blake, Iron Man, Hulk, and the Fantastic Four emerged from the minds of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko.
Many key elements of each character's origin story are recreated, such as the canonical event of Uncle Ben and Aunt May's deaths in Peter's life, due to his inaction—in this case, their deaths are even more tragic.
The infection originates from space, brought back by the Fantastic Four after an unauthorized mission in which they stole a rocket.
These zombies are sentient and retain their memories and powers, so Reed Richards devises a massive, organized zombie attack strategy more
