Look alive, Heroes!
Earlier today we had the special announcement of a new Optional Buy, the Artist's Special Edition Set! Make sure to read all about it here!
And now, it's time to check out the latest headline!
This edition brings the star-spangled man with a plan to defeat the zombies!
Today’s Daily Reward is adding the Kickstarter Exclusive living Captain America for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!
Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.
HERO MODE: No matter how dire the situation gets, Steve Rogers remains a bulwark for his allies. When the chips are down and all seems lost you can count on the Captain America to save the day, protecting his allies with his Vibranium Shield, launching his potent ricochet attacks, putting Bystanders and allies before himself as he nobly jumps in the way.
ZOMBIE MODE: Ever the inspiring figure, Captain America leads the S.H.I.E.L.D. Troopers against the Zombie Heroes, granting them additional Actions.

Look alive, Heroes!
We have just unlocked Morbius!
Morbius was certainly boosted by our most recent Optional Buy, the Artist's Special Edition Set. If you missed it, make sure to check it out!
Next up we have a zombie with sharp teeth and sharper aim.
If we reach $5,110k we will unlock the Kickstarter Exclusive zombie Bullseye for all backers, including his Zombie Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Zombie Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Hero Mode!
Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.
Zombie Mode: Bullseye never misses his target, and he makes sure his decaying body doesn’t interfere with his deadly aim. Few can protect a target once he sets his sights on it, allowing him to reach even the most well-guarded Bystanders. Bullseye is great at keeping the advancing SHIELD Agents at bay by striking them down from a safe distance.
Hero Mode: Facing Bullseye at range is always very dangerous, but as a zombie he’s even more vicious if the players allow him to close the distance.
Until next time, stay hungry!
Artist’s Special Edition Set

Look alive, Heroes!
Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game owes its style and vision to the incredible work of Marco Checchetto. A renowned comics artist, Marco has worked with Marvel on numerous comic series, developing very personal and unique takes on classic characters. It is time to see how well these creations fare against Marvel Zombies!
For $25, the Artist’s Special Edition Set is a Kickstarter Exclusive expansion for Marvel Zombies that brings to the game six Super Heroes in versions that bring to life the specific comic designs of Marco Checchetto. These characters not only have brand new looks, but their game mechanics have been reworked to replicate their nature in the comic issues illustrated by Marco Checchetto.
The Artist’s Special Edition Set expansion comes with:
- 1 Daredevil Super Hero Game Piece
- 1 Old Man Hawkeye Super Hero Game Piece
- 1 Marshall Bullseye Super Hero Game Piece
- 1 Spider-Man Super Hero Game Piece
- 1 Daredevil Elektra Super Hero Game Piece
- 1 Old Man Logan Super Hero Game Piece
- 6 Super Hero ID Cards
- 6 Super Hero Spawn Cards
Let’s explore each of the different things that this expansion brings to the game:
Hero Mode: Whereas all versions of Daredevil carry a level of grit and ruggedness to them, Marco Checchetto’s version of Daredevil really exemplifies those traits. This version of Daredevil has a much more rough-and-tumble playstyle, giving up some of the reactionary Skills of his other versions for a more direct “hard-to-take-down” bruiser-style.
Zombie Mode: This Daredevil is no-nonsense when it comes to dispatching Zombie Heroes, combining a higher-than-average Toughness with retaliatory capabilities.
Hero Mode: He might be getting up there in years, and unfortunately that also means his eyesight is going as well, but he is NOT to be underestimated. While other versions of Hawkeye make use of different arrow-types for various effects, this Hawkeye accomplishes his mission through raw willpower and a touch of teamwork-based effects.
Zombie Mode: This version of Hawkeye isn’t afraid to get up-close-and-personal. Whereas other versions preferred long-range tactics, this threat doesn’t mind getting personal with large groups of Zombie Heroes, striking fast and striking hard.
Hero Mode: He is still the expert assassin that he always was, but now a hunger (not zombie-related) of his own to take down Super Heroes has driven his determination… And while living Super Heroes might not be on the menu, there is a whole world of Zombie Heroes out there to take down. This version of Bullseye is adept at taking down the large threats: Brutes and Zombie Heroes, leaving the common riff-raff to his teammates.
Zombie Mode: Seeking the most deadly quarry, Marshall Bullseye gains additional effects based on the Danger Level of nearby Zombie Heroes, as his excitement for battle grows ever higher!
Hero Mode: Representing a more knowledgeable and experienced Peter Parker, this take on Spider-Man has him trading the tactical web-slinging for more of a team-leader style of play. Of course, his acrobatic and spider-based Skills are still present, but having survived years of encounters and villain plots has led to a more tactical, strategic Spider-Man.
Zombie Mode: Regardless of other factors, it is always known that Spider-Man must protect the innocent around him. This version accomplishes that not just by himself, but by calling in additional Super Hero reinforcements to protect Bystanders!
Hero Mode: Now taking up the mantle of The Woman Without Fear (which also happens to be a Skill name) this version of Elektra trades some of the precision/target priority tricks of other versions for a more agile hit-and-run style gameplay.
Zombie Mode: Weaving in and out of engagements, this threat is sure to frustrate if appearing near groups of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, as she will continuously duck in and out of combat to deal wounds while keeping herself a moving target!
Hero Mode: Transported from an alternate reality, this Logan is aged, grizzled, and (arguably) more wizened than the Logan of the present. Trading in the raw berserker rage of his past self with a bit more control, this fearsome fighter can still hold his own, but now views the world with a more experienced eye for tactical awareness.
Zombie Mode: Don't let his age fool you, while he had put his days of bloodshed behind him, that is no longer an option against the undead threat. He might be an old dog, but he still has new tricks, performing unique actions when certain Spawn Cards are revealed.
If you want to see this special exploration of Marco Checchetto’s unique vision in your game, make sure to add the Kickstarter Exclusive Artist’s Special Edition Set expansion to your pledge!

Look alive, Heroes!
Elektra has been unleashed!
Just because the next Stretch Goal is a vampire, it doesn’t mean he’ll join the ranks of the undead.
If we reach $5,040k we will unlock the Kickstarter Exclusive living Morbius for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!
Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.
Hero Mode: Morbius is a living vampire, not a zombie. There’s a big difference there. He is able to drain the power from his foes, even if they are among the recently deceased! This means his attacks help fuel even more powerful subsequent attacks, in a bloody feedback loop.
Zombie Mode: Morbius lust for blood means if any Zombie Heroes near him are wounded, he gains additional Actions to finish the job.
Until next time, stay hungry!
