You’ve got to be kidding me. Newsarama reports that Marvel is following through with their Marvel Zombies expansion by throwing everyone’s favourite Deadite killer in the mix. Robert Kirkman is onboard as a consultant to keep that ol’ Marvel Zombie continuity from getting out of hand, while writer John Layman takes over the reins.

“This is a story of a guy who is used to fighting the undead, who is used to being a hero, flung into a strange universe full of heroes …heroes who are not only all crazed flesh-eating zombies, but ones with hundreds of different crazy super-powers.”

“How’s a guy with a chainsaw, a shotgun, and a smart mouth supposed to survive that?”

One of the things that I’ve always loved about mainstream comics is that, between their punishing scheduling and their inherent disposability, they’re more than willing to not only take greater chances but to actually get things done. How long do you think something like this would have wallowed in development hell if it were being produced as a movie?
