Junji Ito Tomie with Marvel Zombies
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: contains spoilers for Weapon X-Men #2Marvel's beloved X-Men comics rarely shy away from intense violence. Still, nothing in an X-Men comic will ever rise to the level of body horror depicted in manga by the iconic Junji Ito. In Weapon X-Men #2, a variant version of Wolverine hilariously gives a shout out to manga horror master Ito, blaming his work for why his children are not afraid of real-life zombies.
Weapon X-Men #2, from writer Christos Gage and artist Yıldıray Çınar, sees Phoenix bringing her ragtag crew of Wolverine variants back to her reality, where they meet the aged Wolverine of Earth-80777, whose children don't bat an eye after meeting a zombie variant of their father. It makes perfect sense that Logan's children wouldn't be horrified by the existence of zombie Wolverine if they had been reading Junji Ito stories, which heavily feature body horror, monstrous resurrections, and cannabilism. Many of Ito's most popular works, like Tomie, involve mysteriously immortal creatures that lure humans to their deaths or just depict humans' flesh rotting in a way that makes zombie Wolverine look perfectly normal in comparison.
