In the manga's story, the Avengers team gets together to throw a surprise party for Tony Stark. Things take a turn for the worse, when zombies appear on site, and the heroes ditch the celebrations to stop the outbreak. Facing a legion of the undead, some of the superheroes become infected themselves.Komiyama launched the manga on MangaBox in July 2015, and ended it last July. Kodansha shipped the second compiled book volume on July 8, 2016.
Komiyama also drew the Ixion Saga manga, and drew a prequel one-shot manga for Avengers: Age of Ultron, which Kodansha published in its Shonen Magazine in July 2015.
