Synopsis for 1st story

Zombie Morbius explains to his 616 counterpart that he is still affected by the zombie virus, and goes to present his innoculation plan to the rest of A.R.M.O.R.

With 22 minutes left until extraction, Jocasta is beginning to have self-doubts.

In the Kingpin's stronghold, Machine Man blasts his way out, killing (for the final time probably), a lot of the zombies along the way. He learns how Doctor Strange of the Zombiverse was the one who originally was able to open a viewing portal to see Earth-616, and the Kingpin created the entire plan from there. Aaron steals Ghost Rider's motorcycle to get away, and Kingpin sends his three speedsters, Quicksilver, Whizzer, and Speed Demon to stop him. Whizzer trips and gets his arm caught in the spokes of the bike, causing all four of them to explode.

In the hollow, Zombie Morbius can wait no longer and begins to spread the zombie virus. It spreads quickly throughout the base.

Director Little Sky returns for Machine Man and Jocasta, only to find that Aaron didn't make it back. They reluctantly leave him in the Zombiverse as he calls out for Jocasta.

Solicit Synopsis

The epic battle of Zombie vs. Robot shambles on! All that stands between the flesh-crazed armies of the Marvel Zombies and the entirety of the Marvel Universe is... Aaron "Machine Man" Stack? And if he has to shoot, slice, explode, melt, dissolve, chop, crush, dismember, fry, electrocute, bludgeon, blast, harpoon, and, of course, insult every super-powered cannibal in the Zombieverse, well, that's just what he's gonna do. But unbeknownst to him, the Zombie Kingpin has already hatched a fiendish plot to ensure that all of the M.U. will be consumed by an undead apocalypse!

Trivia

• This issue's cover is based on the "Evil Dead" poster.

Continuity Notes

  • Vision appears to be alive, but connected to some type of Machine, that might be keeping him alive. This still remains unknown.
