Marvel Zombies And Batman: Blind Justice

Recently it seems that everywhere I look, there Marvel Zombies are. The art work by Arthur Suydam is by far my favorite part of this comic book miniseries. I first noticed them about a month ago when I began staring at my coworker Duncan's Zombies poster. It is the type of art that hits you in waves. First I noticed characters that I grew up with, nothing more. Then I began realizing that the colors were a little distorted. Finally, it hit me that these weren't the friendly superheroes I had assumed they were at all, but the undead shell of what they had used to be. In case you are lost, Marvel Zombies are a set of comic book miniseries published by Marvel Comics beginning in 2005. They are set in an alternate version of the Marvel Universe where most of the super heroes and villains have been exposed to a viral infection of sorts, turning them into flesh-eating zombies. The series was originally a spin-off from events in Ultimate Fantastic Four, but it became successful enough to produce an additional miniseries of its own, as well as several standalone one-shot issues. The title Marvel Zombies comes as a tribute to the nickname the Marvel fanbase gave to those who were very dedicated Marvel fans.
Another series I have taken note of is Batman: Blind Justice
. From what I have gathered, the story begins when Bruce Wayne refuses to allow illegal mind-control experiments to continue at Wayne Technology, and he finds himself charged with being a traitor. Blind Justice then delves into Bruce's past as he confronts memories of those who molded him into the Dark Knight. All of the reviews seem to be of four-stars or more and it might be placed on my iTaggit wishlist soon enough.
