Marvel TV Into 2025

There's been a very noticeable slowdown in the amount of Marvel media content thrown to us by our Disney lord and masters. Most likely the underperforming of certain films caused higher-ups to apply the breaks a bit. Sometimes you just need to take a couple of steps back and reassess. And so they did. And we felt it. You go from being a spoiled comic book reading kid with three Marvel films a year and at least 2 TV projects to gobble up...to..whatever this sorry existence is!!! Yes, I am being dramatic, but if Marvel doesn't hurry their asses up, I'll be watching my first X-Men movie when I celebrate my 70th birthday. LET'S GET CRACKIN!!

Perfect for all readers, MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY is an exciting new take on Marvel Zombies storytelling that kicks off after a sick Groot, of the Guardians of the Galaxy, accidentally sneezes.

Hot Toys Finally Digs Up Marvel Zombies

Do you know how hard it was to get Marvel Zombies action figures BEFORE Marvel was owned by Disney?  ...Pretty damn hard! Marvel Zombies was a hit with comic fans and Marvel left it to Diamond Select to release three figures to celebrate the title. Zombie Hulk, Zombie Colonel America and Zombie Spider-Man are still favorites of action figures fans and fetch a hefty price today. Despite the popularity of the title, Marvel shut down further merchandising after a string of sculptural pieces, stating they were concerned fans would get confused by the horrific look of their iconic heroes and the license would be tarnished in the long run. Years later, we'd get a Zombie Sabretooth and Zombie Magneto to add to our collection, but again, despite the excitement behind these releases, it seems the breaks were put on further undead Marvels. 

Now, with Disney firmly holding the reigns of power, I was shocked to see Marvel Zombies returning to the comic racks and with it, renewed interest in Marvel Zombie TOYS!! 12 inch action figure masters Hot Toys take first swing at this license with Zombie Deadpool...because of course they are.
