Marvel Zombies 5 #3

Howard the Duck in full knight's armor — red-plumed helmet and all — scrambles in wide-eyed panic as a horde of rotting, glowing-eyed zombies closes in from every direction, with what appears to be a zombified Thor lurking among them. The tagline "Quackest Knight!" captures the wonderfully absurd spirit of this third chapter in the five-issue Marvel Zombies 5 limited series, with cover art by Leonard Kirk delivering both genuine menace and irresistible comedy in equal measure. Fred Van Lente's story, "Isle of Wights," promises the kind of genre-blending fun that makes this 2010 series such a memorable corner of the Marvel universe.
