MARVEL ZOMBIES ARMY OF DARKNESS #1

Written by JOHN LAYMAN, Art by FABIANO NEVES & JUNE CHUNG
Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAM
 This is it true believers, the cross-over of the century begins here! The Marvel Zombies come face-to-face with Dynamite Entertainment's Ash from the Army of Darkness! Ash has faced legions of the undead before, but never like this...as he lands in the heart of New York just as the Zombie outbreak begins! See how his actions help turn more heroes and villains into Zombies! Under the watchful eye of Marvel Zombie guru Robert Kirkman, this might just be the comic event of 2007! Plus: The entire series will feature classic "homage" covers from painter Arthur Suydam! 32 PGS./Parental Advisory
