.....look no further than Black Cat's entry at Wikipedia:

Marvel Zombies
A zombified Black Cat is briefly seen battling Iron Fist. He punches a hole straight through her.

However somehow (in Marvel Zombies: Dead Days) during events set after her appearance above (which happened in Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness), she appeared alive and well on one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Carriers.

When asked about this during his Joe Friday 100 [1] , Joe Q explained that "the MZ world is not exactly like the regular Marvel Universe. Our Captain America is their “Colonel America”. Their Reed Richards is evil. A lot of the costumes are from different eras in our world. We assumed it was obvious from the context that in the MZ world, Felicia Hardy has a twin sister, Felicity Hardy, who is the costumed adventurer known as Night Cat."


Translation for those without a brain:

"Yeah, I screwed up. I'm EIC, and as an editor; I should be catching such continuity errors. But hey, we can always use magic to fix it!"

or he simply could of said:

"Marvel Zombies are not a part of any universe's continuity; and they each are stand alone stories."


It takes a huge blunder like OMD/BND for folks to start digging, but I think we can see that these types of issues Joe Q has created over the years.

Not that I would accuse Wikipedia with anything resembling accuracy, but this takes me back to the old Marvel "no-prize." Some screw up in continuity would be caught by a fan, they'd write to the letter column, and Stan the Man would tell them that their "no-prize" was in the mail. Acknowledge, move on. Now, there exists an editorial mandate that such errors can be written around while pretending, in fact, that they weren't even errors in the first place. And that's just silly. It insults the reader's intelligence and creates nightmares for writers who *do* try to adhere to continuity...

Since when is continuity something that Marvel takes into account under Joey Q? Seriously, it's all about what cockamie stuff they can feed the fans in order to cover up for sloppy writing. I'd respect them more if they went with a simple "good catch - we goofed up on that one." But, as mentioned, the day of the no-prize is long gone.

Wait, perhaps it's too early in the morning for me, but let me see if I have this right;

Marvel Zombies: Dead Days she was alive.

Marvel Zombies vs. AOD: She was dead.

Right?

Now, I'm at work, so I don't have the books in front of me - but the way I understand it, if her appearance was in MZ vs AOD #1, then yeah... continuity error.

BUT, if it happened AFTER issue #1, then it is in continuity as (IIRC) Dead Days happens in a span of a few hours right after MZ vs AOD #1... so technically Dead Days is happening co-currently with #2. It could make it a tight fit if the appearance is in #2, but plausable.

Of course, I'm at work and just going off the memory of having read those books a few times over...

And yeah, Joe Q's excuse was obviously on the fly as that's the kind of stuff he says when caught off-guard. Sometimes it comes off as funny, other times not so much...

Not good 'ol Joe and the folks at Marvel!! Say it ain't so!!!
