So did anyone else hear about that new Marvel Zombies book?

@ambitiousauthor okay...definitely building

Cuckoostar's grandfather was a kittypet who lived in a bad household. His Twoleg meant well, and their illness was not their fault, but they were a hoarder, and because of that, Nameless Grandfather's home soon became very dangerous.

They had many close calls--almost being flattened, almost suffocating, almost losing their tail and losing several claws.

Some kittypets in the series are seen to be friends with their different-species denmates. Well, NG considered the cuckoo bird his Housefolk brought home as an injured chick to be his dearest friend. They both grew up together, and now they were the only ones that understood each other's situations.

The only thing was, food was becoming scarcer and scarcer. NG genuinely couldn't tell if his Housefolk stopped bringing any, or if he just couldn't find it anymore. The place was a dangerous maze, and it was impossible to smell anything beyond the gunk.

NG had no choice....

But he wouldn't have his friend die in vain. He used the little extra strength the meal gave him and pushed himself to find a way out. It took a long time and more than once he came close to giving up, but eventually he made it out.......and found a Clan.

Groot and Hulk try their best to avoid the infected people so they go to the park to hide. Groot as the Patient Zero, is infected with the alien fungi virus and he wants Hulk to change back into Bruce Banner because his scientist persona would find a way to cure his disease and turn everyone back to normal. Unfortunately, Groot's language is difficult to understand and Hulk is not interested in going to the Avengers Tower. Also, Hulk doesn't like to change back to Bruce Banner. Then, Hulk is attacked by the infected Thor who sends him flying to the Avengers Tower with his Mjolnir. The sickly Groot who was watching at the sidelines, cheers for Hulk crashing into the Avengers Tower until he becomes disappointed when Hulk comes back down to fight Thor.

This story with zombie-fungus takes place in an AU.

The Thinking Stone

Aw, the days when ShadowClan had a good leader, quite possibly one of the best the Clan had ever known, yet one that was still forgotten with time....

It's almost funny. He's nothing like someone who is typically called 'cuckoo,' nor does his behaviour relate much at all to the cuckoo bird. (@ambitiousauthor named him and I designed and built his personality, I'm thinking maybe his father's father was a kittypet, who lived with a bird that was called a cuckoo--which the owner probably shouldn't have kept).

Cuckoostar spent much of his time thinking about his Clanmates and what he can do to help them everyday. Since he has misophonia, he tends not to think in his den which is too close to noise. Instead, he chose a large rock to settle on and think--far enough to avoid most of the sound, but close enough to race back in case there is an emergency--which, at this distance, he could hear from the much louder yowling (or could smell by chance if there are invaders).

It is sad that his great reign was followed by Stormstar, a cheater and neglectful father that lead his Clan into many wars, and Alderstar--intially thought to be a wonderful leader, until it was revealed that he had been murdering his Clanmates.

Finally came Rainstar, chosen by Starclan.

He will go the stone as Cuckoostar once did, hoping that he would somehow gain some of the wisdom of the leader before him had.

(Btw the 'good leader' comment was because of the two that came after him).

With the first light of dawn breaking through the quiet streets, the city slowly awakens from its long slumber.

The soft glow promises a fresh start, as shadows retreat and life stirs once more. Morning brings hope to once-empty streets a quiet revival, s reminder that even in stillness, the city holds the potential for new life.

It seems as if life is returning to a place once abandoned.

*Issue 1 Spoilers Ahead*

Cap really said "Rocket's a lost cause." 💀

More importantly, Rocket gets thrown out of a crashing plane and Groot instantly moves on 😂😭

My guy really takes an L in this one.

Rocket doesn't appear in the comic after this, so his fate is left on a cliffhanger until we hopefully find out in issue #2. Can't wait!

I love the art style of this comic.
