Chapter Summaries

Andrew consolidated humanity’s forces in Wakanda and sent Spider-Men to scout for nearby Zombies. Miles asked whether he could change the fate that supposedly required his father’s death, and Andrew gave him three possible ways to protect him.

• Nick Fury accepted Andrew’s authority, and Andrew ordered him to place humanity’s High-Level Executives in Wakanda’s shelter and bring their forces under S.H.I.E.L.D.’s management.

• Miles left to consider the choices, while Spider-Gwen and Andrew discussed the hardships Spider-Men faced.

Andrew restored Spider-Man from his zombie state and learned that Dr. Reed might be connected to the outbreak, prompting Spider-Gwen to investigate Bastet Tower. He then took Wakanda’s Vibranium and used a planted seed to reach Galactus, whose soul he briefly brought back to clarity, before asking him about his daughter Galacta.

• Spider-Gwen asked Andrew to help survivors, find a way to gather the Zombies in Wakanda, and restore infected heroes; Andrew turned Spider-Man back into a human.

• Andrew asked Galactus whether he wanted to prevent anything from happening to his daughter, Galacta.

They stopped Professor Charles from taking over the sleeping Celestial Tiamut, but Andrew's beating of Tiamut left the Celestial subdued as Professor Charles learned that humanity could still be saved.

• Wanda fused Zombie Scarlet Witch with herself, and Scarlet Witch returned with Andrew after warning him that Professor Charles was trying to possess Celestial Tiamut.

• Professor Charles argued that Zombies were not a sustainable new race and had to be eliminated, despite Erik's view of them.

Wonder Woman rescued Carol, healed her wound, and took the Guardians of the Galaxy to investigate the Zombie outbreak.

• Diana defeated Hawkeye, restrained him, and brought him aboard the Guardians' ship while protecting everyone from his infection.
• Diana healed Carol's wound and explained that the black mark came from the power of Death rather than the Biological Virus.
• The Guardians took Diana to a planet where the Zombies had feasted, but the Zombies and all its residents were gone.
• Diana used Andrew's Time-Space Rewind Crystal to watch the past and saw Zombie Thanos and the other superheroes travel through a portal opened by Doctor Strange.
• A black line attacked Diana from the past, and she destroyed it with a shockwave while shielding the others from the Death Ripples that devastated the city.
• Diana contacted Andrew and reported that the attack came from Death but carried the aura of Zombies.

Andrew sent Wonder Woman to take Star-Lord to his father, recruit him against the zombies, and seek a way to contact the Celestials. Meanwhile, Wade used Zombie Thanos to persuade Death’s forces to target the City of All and the Celestials, leaving Andrew considering how to claim the Bio-Universe for himself.

• Andrew warned Diana that Death had become a zombie and told her to take Star-Lord to his father, recruit him, and ask about contacting the Celestials.

• Andrew considered how controlling the Celestials and the other Creation Gods might let him claim the Bio-Universe and greatly increase his power.

After the Zombies escaped into Hell, Andrew arranged an alliance with Arishem and recruited the Guardians of the Galaxy to cleanse infected planets. He summoned another-universe version of Captain Marvel, leaving the two Captain Marvels together with Andrew.

Zombie Death and Mephisto set a trap that devastated the Demon Kings’ forces, leaving the survivors trapped in Hell. Mephisto manipulated the remaining Demon Kings into a deadly Contract and triggered a Curse as hidden attackers arrived.

• Mephisto revealed that the Demon Kings would attack in the valley, and Captain America helped prepare a plan to exploit their disunity.
• Zombie Death’s forces used a Space Separation Magic Circle, while Galactus joined the attack, killing or wounding more than half the Demon Kings’ army.

• Mephisto announced that the Curse had taken effect and that ambushers were arriving, weakening every Demon King by at least thirty percent.

Mephisto and the Zombie Demon Kings prepared to invade Earth while Andrew and Spider-Gwen searched Bastet Tower for the hidden Mastermind. Spider-Gwen’s enhanced Spider-Sense pointed them toward shrinking and the Quantum Realm, where a previous Zombie Crisis had begun.

• Mephisto secured the Demon Kings’ submission and learned that Zombie Death and Galactus could get the assembled forces onto Earth after some preparation.
• Zombie Death and Mephisto planned an immediate attack, while Mephisto secretly revealed that his confidence was a deception and that Andrew had placed the original Mephisto in the Virtual World.
• Andrew joined Spider-Gwen at Bastet Tower and explained that the Mastermind had left a monitoring contingency there, which they needed to find.
• Andrew discovered that the missing remains of the tower’s victims and the Mastermind’s tampering prevented Time and Space Magic from working, so he empowered Spider-Gwen’s Spider-Sense.
• Spider-Gwen’s intuition told her to keep shrinking, leading Andrew to suspect the Quantum Realm and recall the earlier Zombie Crisis there.

Andrew investigated the Mastermind behind the Zombie Virus, then traveled to another universe to recruit powerful allies against the coming zombie invasion. He secured the Celestials’ help and arrived in Asgard, where Odin and Thor rejected his approach.

• Andrew reached Asgard to recruit Odin, but Odin accused him of threatening the God King, and Thor declared that no one could threaten Asgard.

Andrew recruited Odin and Asgard’s Berserker Legion for the battle, arranged for Ancient One to confront Zombie Doctor Strange, and secured Dormammu’s help against the Bio-Universe’s threats. He then defeated Hela and prepared to take her to another universe to rebuild Asgard.

• Andrew persuaded Odin to bring Thor and the Asgardian Berserker Legion into battle, offering to take Hela to the Bio-Universe so she could rebuild its zombie-stricken Asgard.
• Andrew asked Ancient One to handle Zombie Doctor Strange, and she agreed after he promised to help her defeat Dormammu and give her control of him.

• Andrew went to Hela’s seal, subdued her by destroying her Black Swords and draining her Death Qi, and told her he would take her to another universe to rebuild Asgard.

Andrew replaced the deranged Hela with Virtual Hela, intending for the original to reincarnate and learn the meaning of life before reclaiming her power. Meanwhile, Doctor Doom and S1's Dr. Reed gathered superheroes to defend the Bio-Universe, though many questioned the danger and strength of their foes.

• Andrew placed Virtual Hela in the deranged Hela's body, sealed the original Hela's soul, and said she would be reincarnated while Virtual Hela used her body.
• Virtual Hela recovered her strength in Asgard, took the Eternal Flame and Box of Frigid from Odin's Vault, and left with Andrew after gathering her army and Fenrir.
• At Bastet Tower, S1's Dr. Reed agreed to summon the superheroes to protect the Bio-Universe, while The Thing distrusted Doctor Doom and Susan wondered about Andrew.
• The superheroes gathered and debated whether to join the fight, with Iron Man mocking Doom's warning and Captain America questioning their ability to face Creation Gods.
• Doctor Doom described the powerful Superhero Zombies and nearly a hundred Demon Kings of Hell, and said Andrew would bring an opponent of comparable strength to demonstrate the threat.

Andrew brought Surtur to Earth to test the superheroes against a Demon King-level opponent, while secretly investigating the Mastermind in the Quantum Realm. He discovered that the Mastermind had built a Zombie empire there and recognized the figure depicted in its central statue.

• Surtur appeared outside Bastet Tower, overpowered Human Torch, and was brought with the superheroes into the Virtual World by Andrew.
• The superheroes attacked Surtur while Andrew explained that he had restored Surtur to Skyfather level and promised to place his crown in the Eternal Flame after the battle.

• Andrew infiltrated Zombie City and read that its residents called themselves the God Race and used other Universes as sources of Zombie Virus.
• Andrew confronted Conqueror Kang, who explained that he had developed the Quantum Zombie Virus after being exiled to the Quantum Realm by other Kangs.

• Conqueror Kang said he had made himself a Zombie, transformed the city's people into the God Race, and spread the virus to weaken Universes for later harvesting.
• Conqueror Kang invited Andrew to join the God Race, promising power and Higher-Dimensional Ascension, while Andrew questioned whether a civilization built on plunder could succeed.
