Summary

Marvel Zombies 4 (2009) is the direct supernatural sequel to Marvel Zombies 3, created by returning writer Fred Van Lente and artist Kev Walker under Marvel Comics. Moving away from deep-space sci-fi, this chapter dives headfirst into dark occult horror, reassembling Marvel’s premier supernatural strike force—the Midnight Sons—to eradicate an active zombie outbreak on Earth-616.

Following the breach from the zombie dimension, the rogue bio-pathogen slips past A.R.M.O.R. containment and begins infecting the living populace of the main Marvel Universe (Earth-616). Desperate to eradicate the pathogen before it triggers an irreversible global extinction event, the living vampire Dr. Michael Morbius convenes a new black-ops division of the Midnight Sons.

Recruiting mystic hunters and monstrous heroes—including Jennifer Kale, Werewolf by Night (Jack Russell), Daimon Hellstrom (Son of Satan), and Man-Thing—the team tracks the contagion through the dark bayous of the American South. However, their mission becomes infinitely deadlier when the sentient airborne pathogen begins mutating, binding with the mystical demonic forces of the Hood's mystical syndicate and resurrecting Marvel's legendary monster pantheon into ravenous, undead predators.
