Marvel Zombies: Red Band #2 pits our favorite heroes against our favorite undead, blurring the lines of enemies and friends. The issue paints a bleak outlook with an epic surprise ending making me need issue 3 ASAP! Read Full Review
Marvel Zombies: Red Band #2 deepens the series' mix of heart and horror, grounding its apocalypse through Jean Grey's haunting perspective while expanding the chaos to Battleworld. Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan aren't making a gory shock comic, but a stuffed-to-the-brim adventure that's a carefully constructed, character-driven reimagining of Marvel's darkest corner. If it's still holding back on true Red Band carnage, it more than compensates with smart writing, emotional weight, and a bloody good sense of fun. Read Full Review
Marvel Zombies Red Band #2 (of 5), while fun, is a disappointing read in terms of what it could have been. Opportunities are missed left and right, such as non-generic zombie redesigns of iconic heroes or tension between heroes and villains forced to team up to survive the flesh-eating horde. While the issue features plenty of action, the story reads more like a tunnel between Issue #1 and Issue #3 coming in November 2025. If you plan on picking up the entire five-issue series, then Marvel Zombies Red Band #2 should be a part of that collection. But if you are just looking to see if the Red Band line has delivered on its promised gore and horror, then in my opinion no, it hasnt, and I would not recommend this months issue of Marvel Zombies Red Band.
