You've seen Earth's Mightiest Heroes face off against a raging zombie virus - now, go back to the beginning in this special prelude issue of the epic manga adaptation! The Avengers risk their lives to make the world a safer place for all, oftentimes suffering severe injury and great loss. When Tony Stark faces a more personal threat - one leveled against Pepper Potts - the risk is too great to ignore, and he's forced to act fast. What lengths will Tony go to in order to keep Pepper safe? Iron Man is an important part of his life, but can he figure out a way to replace the armor and step away from being an Avenger, if that's what it takes? The more
I don't know what I was expecting from Zombies Assemble, but it wasn't an Iron Man romantic melodrama between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Given the title, I foolishly assumed that there would be zombies at some point. Read Full Review
Where are the freaking zombies?
To be honest, I'm not really into manga, but I'll definitely read some popular titles one day. What about this exact comic... It was dumb and not interesting, plus art is really messy sometimes. However it wasn't utter trash, so...
UPD: I've found out this "prequel" is actually a reprint of Avengers: Age of Ultron: Episode 0 from Shonen magazine 30. But why here? Anyway, I was searching for that AoU manga for a long time and now when I actually don't need to anymore, it's relieving.
Tony saves Pepper from a vengeance-minded mecha-piloting employee. This prequel offers a complete absence of zombies, a decent manga impression of Iron Man, C-minus interpretations of the MCU Avengers in One Piece style, a sad attempt at romance, sadder attempts at humor, and the unwelcome suggestion that Tony's purpose in designing Ultron was to replace Iron Man so that he and Pepper could retire and have a million babies together. (I said it was unwelcome, not necessarily inaccurate.) Why Marvel thought this deserved to be raised out doujinshi obscurity is utterly beyond me.
