For comic book fans, Marvel's upcoming Secret Wars event is huge. While DC readers may be used to big, continuity-changing Crisis events, Marvel readers aren't quite as accustomed. In fact, Marvel's reality-spanning events are typically limited to one-off series or B-list heroes - mostly so that the big names like Spider-Man and the X-Men maintain the status quo.
That all changes with Secret Wars - both the mainstream Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Comics universe are ending, and Battleworld is where it all goes down. The planet has been carved up into sections where major factions from multiple universes will all vie for control.
Out of all the different factions, the most outlandish one could also be its most interesting: the robotic armies of Ultron are locked in a war with the undead Marvel Zombies. It's ridiculous, it's over-the-top...and now, it's an ongoing series.
There's no telling how long the series will run, or whether or not it will continue after Secret Wars has ended. The first issue will go on sale later this year alongside the event, but until Marvel releases a statement, we don't know how long the war between Ultron and the Zombies will last.
Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies #1 goes on sale June 3.
