Marvel Zombies: A Joke Made Flesh
In the world of comics retailing, fans who only bought comics published by Marvel Comics (and often followed many different Marvel titles) were called “Marvel zombies.” In the 1990s, the phrase was commonplace throughout the industry (used, by other publishers than Marvel, somewhat dismissively; one presumes that Marvel was all for it because it created a sense of shared identity among its most faithful customers).
The Best Hot Takes From San Diego Comic-Con

During the Vietnam War, he went overseas to see mini-transistors he’d created were being used there. But a bomb went off, and with shrapnel embedded close to his heart, it looked like Tony’s days were numbered.
