Marvel Zombies 3 #2

The cover of this second chapter in Fred Van Lente's four-part limited series is a genuinely unsettling piece of work by Greg Land — a massive, decayed zombie face dominates the composition with glowing orange eyes and a gaping, tooth-filled maw, while a lone armored figure stands dwarfed at its base, silhouetted against a blood-red skyline with a spider-emblazoned tower looming behind them. That stark contrast between the solitary hero and the overwhelming undead threat sets a tense, ominous mood that Kev Walker and Jean-François Beaulieu carry into the interior pages. If you enjoy Marvel horror done with real atmosphere and scale, Marvel Zombies 3 is delivering exactly that in 2009.
