Marvel Zombies 4 is a four-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics beginning in April 2009. It is part of the Marvel Zombies series. The series is written by Fred Van Lente, penciled by Kev Walker, with covers by Greg Land.
The new Midnight Sons, Morbius, the Living Vampire, Werewolf by Night, Daimon Hellstrom, Jennifer Kale and the Man-Thing, each (except for Man-Thing) inoculated with a zombie virus vaccine created by Morbius, investigate a cruise ship being attacked by zombie Fishmen. As the Sons destroy the zombies, Morbius reveals that he has genetically engineered an oxidizing bacteria that causes the zombies to explode. The group kill them all only to confront zombie Piranha.
Zombie Deadpool's head and Simon Garth are revealed to have been the cause of the new zombies by teleporting from A.R.M.O.R. headquarters during Marvel Zombies 3, entering the ocean floor, and having Deadpool's head infect all of the Men-Fish. Garth finds Black Talon and tells him about the zombie plague. Black Talon assumes control of Garth, and captures Deadpool's head. Black Talon calls the Hood, offering the zombie plague as a weapon to destroy all superheroes.
The cruise ship containing the zombified Men-Fish runs aground on Taino, home of Black Talon. Kale teleports the Midnight Sons to the island, as Hellstrom destroys the ship by igniting the engines. Meanwhile, the Hood confers with his cohorts as Dormammu mentally commands the Hood to get the virus. The Hood goes to the Black Talon's plantation on Taino, with the some of his henchmen. Dormammu warns the Hood that the Midnight Sons are approaching, so he sends the some of his men after the Sons. During a battle against some of zombie Deadpool's creations, Garth escapes with the head. Morbius attacks the zombies with his explosive vaccine, but it mutates into something deadlier, killing Hood's henchmen. Dormammu answers Kale's call for help by offering her great power.
