BABYMETAL Lands on Marvel Zombies: War Zone Variant Cover
The variant cover extends BABYMETAL's Marvel Zombies connection from a trailer song to a physical comic product, and the cover was conceived directly from that earlier collaboration.

BABYMETAL appears on a limited variant cover of Marvel Zombies: War Zone (2026) #1, posing alongside Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor. The cover goes on sale in Japan from September 7 at the A!SMART online store for 6500 yen. The US issue releases September 2. The collaboration follows the band's song 'from me to u (feat. Poppy)' in the 2025 Disney+ Marvel Zombies anime trailer.
The cover was conceived from BABYMETAL's earlier tie-in with the franchise. The 2025 Disney+ anime series Marvel Zombies used the band's 'from me to u (feat. Poppy)' in its official trailer, and the song appears on METAL FORTH, which reached number 9 on the US Billboard 200.
Marvel Zombies: War Zone is a five-issue series written by Tom Waltz with inks by Jaime Infante. Issue 1 opens with a zombie outbreak that quarantines Manhattan. The Marvel Zombies line began in 2005, when Robert Kirkman and Sean Phillips produced the original Marvel Zombies #1.
BABYMETAL said they were honored to collaborate with a franchise loved worldwide and called the cover a pleasant surprise. The band is currently touring North America, with a Mexico stadium show planned for late 2026.
