Quick Look at Marvel Zombies 4 #2
I finally had a chance to today to sit and read Marvel Zombies 4 #2 that came out a week or two ago. I’ve been really liking the series, how did this issue fair? Read on after the break to find out…
Well if you’ve read issue 2 of MZ4, then nothing too much changed in this issue. The midnight sons finally meet up on the island to fight the hood and his lackeys and even decapitated deadpool is around for comic relief. It seems like all issue 2 is really doing is bringing things to a boil for this mini-series. Also which felt semi refreshing to this series was all the magic involved in it. Most of the characters have magical powers or are a part of the occult.
With the diversion of magic powers instead of super heroes, Marvel Zombies 4 keeps trucking along. I don’t want to give anything away, but there is a cliffhanger in this issue that is making me chomp at the bit for the upcoming issue. Check it out if you can, what did you think of the issue?
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
