Synopsis for "Marvel Zombies 2 (Part 2 of 5)"
On their trek back to Earth, Giant Man becomes annoyed by Spider-Man and tries to kill him, but is stopped by Iron Man and Hulk. He remarks that he doesn't understand why Spider-Man lived but Colonel America died.
On Earth, K'Shamba is sitting outside the cell where his grandfather, T'Challa, and Wasp are being held after devouring an assassin that nearly killed T'Challa. Malcolm Cortez attempts to seize power over their group by using T'Challa's new status as a zombie against him.
On their way to Earth, Spider-Man reveals to Luke Cage that the reason he told jokes was originally to hide his fear of losing the fights, but lately he began using them to keep his mind off of all the evil things he had done, preventing him from becoming another soulless beast without remorse.
Forge reveals Malcolm's plan and the plot to kill Wasp and T'Challa to "get rid of the zombie plague" to them. That night, Reynolds, Hawkeye, and Forge free T'Challa and Wasp to get them out of New Wakanda before Malcolm has his way, but they are intercepted by Malcolm and the villagers. Malcolm reveals what T'Challa has become to the villagers to cause them to fear him, but the villagers are distracted, staring at the newly arrived Intergalactic Zombies.
The zombies attack, and Forge tries to send as many survivors as possible to Asteroid M. The Hulk goes on a rampage, devouring a few people before being stopped by Giant Man, who says that there aren't enough people to eat them all mindlessly. He proposes that they start up a breeding program, which will then give them enough food to last them forever. At this, Spider-Man blasts off the top half of Giant Man's head, (similar to Colonel America's wound), explaining that if they are to set up a breeding camp, they'd be no better than the monsters they fought all those years ago. At the end of his speech about heroism, Giant Man orders Spider-Man to be killed. Wolverine is glad to step in, but Luke Cage and Spider-Man fight him and Iron Man off while Wasp and T'Challa rescue the final villagers. Reynolds has T'Challa push the zombies back out of New Wakanda, then sets off a force field to keep them out. Sadly, Gladiator and a sleeping Hulk are locked inside with the survivors, and Luke Cage is cut in half.
Notes
- The cover image is based on the original Marvel Comics #1 cover by Frank Paul.
Trivia
- Once again, Spider-Man shoots webbing despite running out in Marvel Zombies.
- One thing that is interesting to note is that his web-fluid solidified in outer space, something that shouldn't happen considering that it's solidification happens because of it's contact with earth's atmosphere.
