The Lowdown
An annual Halloween Marvel Zombies special is a great idea: it gives the gorier corner of the MCU its own tradition without needing a full season. The Last Guardian title is the one to watch, because it means one of the Guardians is in for a rough night.
Key Takeaways
- Marvel announced three Marvel Zombies specials at New York Comic Con (Rotten Tomatoes).
- The Winter Soldier arrives in 2027, The Fist of Khonshu in 2028 and The Last Guardian in 2029 (Rotten Tomatoes).
- GamesRadar+ reports they are planned for successive Halloweens and return to the gory style of the earlier animated series (GamesRadar+).
The Story
Marvel’s undead aren’t done. At its TV and animation panel at New York Comic Con, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum announced three new Marvel Zombies specials (Rotten Tomatoes).
Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier comes first in 2027, followed by The Fist of Khonshu in 2028 and The Last Guardian in 2029 (Rotten Tomatoes). GamesRadar+ reports they’re planned for successive Halloweens and return to the gory, envelope-pushing style of the earlier series (GamesRadar+).
No plot details were given. The titles suggest Bucky Barnes, a Moon Knight-style hero and a surviving Guardian of the Galaxy, but Winderbaum didn’t say on stage who the last Guardian is (GamesRadar+).
