Marvel Zombies 5 #5

The finale of this 2010 limited series goes out with a darkly comic bang, and Mike Del Mundo's cover sets the tone perfectly — a decaying cast of zombies shambles through a grocery store aisle, clutching a shopping cart while surrounded by wonderfully grim joke products like "All Brains" cereal and "Colonel Cavities" boxes, all while a figure in the background hoists a rocket launcher and a massive rotary cannon looms in the foreground. It's a gleefully gruesome scene that balances genuine menace with sharp satirical wit. Writer Fred Van Lante and artist Fernando Blanco bring "A Plague of One" to its conclusion with a creative team clearly having a great time pushing the undead premise to its limits.
