Over their long history, Marvel have created a lot of bizarre characters, launched a number of strange events, and spun out some truly unusual alternate realities. One of the more peculiar and enduring ones is the Marvel Zombies universe. Part of a five-issue run in 2005, the comic was written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. Intimately familiar with zombie comics, Kirkman wove a tale about the entire Marvel Universe becoming infected with a zombie virus. The book was a smash hit and the idea has continued to pop back up in the comics over the years. And even though we think it’d make for the perfect R-Rated superhero film, Marvel would never find some willing to tackle such a project, right? High-Rise Director Wants to Adapt Marvel Zombies
