Marvel Zombies 3 #3

The penultimate chapter of this 2009 four-part limited series arrives with a genuinely unsettling cover by Greg Land: a silver, metallic figure — unmistakably reminiscent of Machine Man — claws one arm desperately skyward while a grotesquely zombified limb drags at the other, suggesting a struggle between the mechanical and the undead. Fred Van Lente and Kev Walker's series has been bringing the zombie plague into Marvel's main universe, and this image captures that tension with striking, eerie atmosphere. If you've been following along, issue three promises the story is heading somewhere dark before the finale.
