Bruce Banner absolutely detests what the Hulk is capable of, and hates the cannibalism involved. The only really interesting character here is the Hulk (who disappears about halfway through and reappears near the end - literally, he puts somebody in a chokehold, and a fight breaks out, and he's nowhere to be seen?) The Hulk is not interested in getting better, he just wants to eat. hero' comic, except when they get ripped apart, they can be sewn together after. Taking out the moral issues of 'eating everybody that ever lived, then snapping out of it, but hey, whatever,' and refusing to really address some of the cool issues that could come of zombification meant that Marvel Zombies 2 was just another 'hero vs. I feel like I missed the interesting stuff.
