Damnit!!!! I wish I hadn't looked at page 15! MAJOR SPOILERS on page 15! It doesn't look like a bad comic.
I'd like to assert once again that zombies are the LAMEST of all reoccuring culturally iconic monsters. Zombie = "Let's take a human being and remove any uselful physical and mental abilites to make them suck as much as possible, then make that suckiness contagious, then figure out how many of these prodigiously sucky creatures you need in order to create some semblance threat."
But these zombies are cool. They maintain intelligence and are SUPERHERO ZOMBIES! Which means they have powers. How cool is that.
You only need one zombie: http://kevan.org/proce55ing/zombies/ Alternativly if the humans are allowed guns then it's a whole lot more fun: http://www.sothisisacomic.com/Zombie/zomb3.html

Good. If there's one thing I've been saying for months now, it's that Wolverine doesn't get enough exposure. Good thing we have books like X-Men Unlimited to give him some more face time.

The story likely takes place back when he was still a member. And really, shame on you DC. Marvel doing giant robot versions of their heroes was bad enough, but you too? You're not even promoting a toyline.
Megamorphs was a fun read actually, if you realize it's not the "616". I was pretty impressed by the series actually. Hopefully DC can pull off a fun/lighthearted story with this as well.
