Marvel Universe vs…

The Marvel Universe has sure got its work cut out for it this week, as it’s set to take on two of the most dangerous characters around: Wolverine and the Punisher! It all starts on Wednesday when we receive the Marvel Universe vs. Punisher TP and Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine #1.

In the case of the Punisher, this is a collection of a mini-series that we liked very much. The Marvel Universe gets somewhat zombi-fied and Big Pun has to fight them all!

MARVEL UNIVERSE VS PUNISHER TP

He killed the world – and now he has to save it! In a routine strike on mobsters and weapons dealers, Frank Castle unleashed a dangerous pathogen that has destroyed human society, turning everyone it touches into murderous cannibals. Unfortunately for them, the Punisher is immune. Now, he seeks to wipe out the plague he inadvertently brought on the world. But that means taking out the best and worst the Marvel Universe has to offer – including heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Deadpool and Venom – all with the lives of what might be the world’s last innocent survivors hanging in the balance.

On the other hand, we’ve got the next chapter in the story, by the same writer, which actually sounds like a prequel! It details how the world got to the horrible state we saw in the Punisher book.

Last year The Marvel Universe vs. the Punisher showed you the ruins of our world. Now witness the fall. NY Times bestseller Jonathan Maberry reveals the dark and terrible events that take us from the outbreak of a deadly plague to the beginning of the last war for planet earth. A dreadful disease begins transforming everyone -human and superhuman-into savage, nearly mindless cannibal predators. Who will protect humanity? Who will make a stand against the endless slaughter? Who has the courage to make the hardest of hard choices? One word: SNIKT!

These two Marvel Comics’ Marvel Universe vs. titles come in on Wednesday!
