Leonard Kirk's art is amazing. He does an amazing job of tapping into the tension of the story visually and the way the art moves the story is brilliant. The reveal of the horror in this issue is beautifully done. Read Full Review
I was surprised to find a bonafide scary and unnerving story here without the conventional over-the-top gore or visual horror gags. This is a story to be taken seriously and the deaths feel pertinent even though the true purpose of the story is yet to be revealed. Props to the creative team for making it feel as though the deaths matter, even if it doesn't quite hook you just yet. This isn't a scary story about zombies, but a scary story about death.

This reviewer recommends picking this story up and adding it to your pull list, especially if youve loved MARVEL ZOMBIES in the past, DCEASED over at DC Comics right now, other zombie tales, or are interested in an ElseWorld-type story where the writer can let loose without any repercussions or continuity issues.

Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 proves that there's always something new under the sun, particularly when you entrust your zombie yarn to top-flight creators. It's a slow-burning, nerve-wracking story that successfully taps the cosmic horror feel of the first Alien movie before exploding into disastrous, deadly carnage. There is lots of terror still to come … and this grandiose introduction promises intellectual as well as visceral scares in the future. Read Full Review
Paving a new approach to the lore, setting the stage for exciting developments, and delivering compelling imagery, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection could become the most effective incarnation of the series since its debut. Read Full Review
The issue is a solid debut perfect for the Halloween season. It has some beats that are familiar but that's part of the fun. This takes what works from horror and the zombie genres and blends it together with the superhero genre. It all comes together for a debut that I want to immediately want to read more of.

Between a compelling mystery and art that's ripped right from a horror movie, Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 is the total package. Read Full Review
Even if we're all tired of zombies by now, and even if the art isn't as violent and as gory as we might like, Marvel finds ways to maintain their unique twist on the genre and gives us a meaner, nastier, hungrier zombie horde that is starving for the flesh of Marvel heroes. Read Full Review
While its timing and its artwork don't necessarily do the book any favors, there's lots of potential to this series, particularly thanks to its stalwart writer " and given that the rising body counts often act as a force multiplier for series like these, chances are Marvel Zombies will shake off some of its rigor mortis in its relentless shamble to your local comic book shop.

10 out of 10!
The artwork, nostalgic feels of characters throughout the issue, story and definitely all the gore!
I loved this issue more than the entire DCeased series, I love DC but something about Marvel's writing and universe is much more entertaining.
DC is great, they stick to more linear and logical storytelling but I love Marvel with the vast universe it has and we're all just trying to be entertained in the end.
(DC is also very dark, too dark sometimes like some of their stories are allusions of real crimes)
Most definitely a great read, if you are into this genre!
Spoilers, do not read the next after the next 10 lines or so:

I LOVE THIS ONE SO FAR . SOMETHING ABOUT ZOMBIE SUPERHEROS FREAKS ME OUT .
Really good in every Way... but the art was confusing in some violent scesnes
That was a pretty impressive debut issue. I was ready to write off Marvel Zombies completely, but this one had atmosphere that was lacking in previous series.
This was good. The big reason its score is as high as it is though is that I had a genuine emotional reaction to seeing Ben Grimm tell Reed that his children need their mom. For some reason, that hit me.
Galactus's corpse washes up in the solar system, alarming Earth's heroes and signalling the start of a new zombie apocalypse. The last act delivers full-on hero-chomping action, but prior to that, the creators do a surprisingly good job of speculating on Galactus's biology and portraying Marvel's a-listers.
Magik reacting with bemused contempt when Wolverine approaches her with his usual "mentor the teenaged girl" shtick is a thing of beauty.
This was pretty good even though I hate zombies! Some spooks, some thrills, I can’t complain about that.
A decent start but it'd be better if there was more of a recap of the backstory instead of being dumped in the middle.
The art was great. It's scary when it needs to be. The story is okay, but it doesn't bring something really new to the Marvel Zombies concept... It's literally the same story, but with a different beginning. What can be next? Zombies will infect everyone on the planet or they will be defeated. I don't believe it'll be interesting for the freaking n-th time, but I'm at least want to read the next part, so it's already enough for these Marvel Zombies sequels. Maybe it won't be bad.
