The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics #[nn]

Marshall VanDerGott, a famed archaeologist from the 1920s, awakens centuries later—mummified and cursed, his body a tomb of ancient secrets. Now stranded in the modern world, he must navigate a life he no longer understands, hunted by the very rituals meant to preserve him. Gwendolyn Danvers, Rock, and Iron find themselves drawn into his struggle, while a fleeting glimpse of Spider-Man hints at a larger, unseen web.

In a world where the dead rise not as mindless monsters but as reanimated individuals with clear purpose, Dr. John Requin finds himself at the center of a crisis that blurs the line between life and death. As political leaders like Mayor Duncan Farnham and Senator Thorin scramble to control the fallout, the returners—among them Jane Requin, Julie Requin, and even the enigmatic Freaky Kenny—challenge everything society thought it knew about mortality, identity, and what it means to be human.
