Just in time for the return of Marvel Zombies, the latest class of Stormbreakers artists are releasing a series of zombie variant covers across Marvel Comics.

Marvel is kicking off the spooky season appropriately with a collection of horrifying Marvel covers. Appropriately, the covers bring Marvel Zombies back to the forefront, just in time for their return. 

Marvel Zombies: Black, White, & Blood follows in the footsteps of Marvel’s Black, White, & Red minis. These books have taken characters like Moon Knight and Darth Vader and pit them in visually stunning stories with a minimalist color palette. 

To commemorate the occasion, Marvel’s Stormbreakers artists will be illustrating zombie variant covers for some of the top Marvel Comics in October.

Marvel Zombies has been a popular concept in its own right. Spinning out of Ultimate Fantastic Four, the concept sees a world where a zombie virus infects most superheroes. It’s gone on to spawn multiple mini-series and crossovers, including a memorable adventure with Evil Dead’s Ash Williams. It was also prominently featured in an episode of the Disney+ series What If.

The new zombie variants will be on sale throughout October. Marvel Zombies: Black, White, & Blood #1 hits stands on October 25. For more on Marvel Zombies & comics, make sure to follow all our coverage
