The Midnight Sons battle against the terrifying new mutation of the zombie virus side-by-side with…The Hood! Why does the trigger-happy Cabal member now fight for humanity? Could it have anything to do with the fact the dread Dormammu has abandoned him for a new, even more powerful minion? Or the frightening fact that the plague of undead is going to lay waste to the entire Marvel Universe?

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Midnight Sons: Part 1”, Simon Garth escaped A.R.M.O.R.’s HQ along with Zombie Deadpool’s head. They teleported to the bottom of the sea, where they met the Men-Fish, and spread the Zombie contagion to them. The Men-Fish attacked the S. S. Tranquility, killing most of the crew, and the new team, The Midnight Sons, were called in to track the virus and cure it. While they deal with a zombified Piranha, Garth and Wilson continue on their way, meeting up with Black Talon, who immediately sees the zombie virus as a marketable weapon to deal to some of his criminal friends, namely, The Hood.

Next in issue #2, “Midnight Sons: Part 2”, The cruise ship containing the zombified Men-Fish runs aground on Taino, home of Black Talon. Jennifer Kale teleports the Midnight Sons to the island, as Hellstrom destroys the ship by igniting the engines. Meanwhile, the Hood confers with his cohorts Crossfire and Mandrill about Black Talon’s offer of the zombie virus. Hood’s cohorts analyze the dangers of possessing a zombie virus and strongly profess Hood to reject Talon’s offer than having “Armageddon for bad business.” However, Dormammu mentally commands the Hood to get the virus. The Hood goes to the Black Talon’s plantation on Taino, with the Night Shift. Dormammu warns the Hood that the Midnight Sons are approaching, sending himself and the Night Shift to battle the Sons. As this is happening, the Zombie Deadpool bit one of Black Talon’s henchmen, causing a outbreak in which Garth the Zombie escapes with Deadpool. Morbius attacks the zombies with his explosive vaccine, but it mutates into something deadlier, killing Hood’s henchmen. The vaccine instead causes the virus to be airborne. Dormammu answers Kale’s call for help by offering her great power.

Next in issue #3, “Midnight Sons: Part 3”, Jack Russell aka Werewolf by Night talks to his sister Lisa his current situation with the zombie invasion. At this point he doesn’t care that he is a werewolf nor does he care if he lives or dies. He records the whole video testament drinking beer. Back on Black Talon’s plantation, The Midnight Son try extremely hard to avoid the zombie cloud accidently created by Morbius’s anti-zombie vaccine. At this point Morbius feels major failure. As Hellstorm holds off the cloud The Hood tries to escape by teleporting but can’t do to the absence of Dormammu. He then tries to shot the Midnight Sons, but he was stopped by Werewolf who knocks him out. Menawhile in another dimension, Dormammu at time is speaking with Jennifer Kale. He offers Jennifer power but she refuses. She responds his offer by breaking a small capsule containing Man-Thing. Dormammu leaves with his offer still on the table. Jennifer comes back to the Midnight Sons who have the Hood with them. Meanwhile the zombie Deadpool and Simon Garth are joyously walking in a small town scaring the locals when all of a sudden the undead cloud covers the town killing the people and turning them into zombies. Deadpool and Zombie have no effect on them. Little do they know Man-Thin is following them. Menawhile the Midnight Sons break into Black Talon’s Plantation House to avoid the undead cloud.

As they take cover, Jennifer uses a spell in which she sees what Man-Thing sees. Morbius then gets in contact with Director Little Sky about the situation.

Man-Thing attacks the super zombie and the two duel it out violently. However the super zombie removes Man-Thing from the earth and slowly the undead cloud destroys Man-Thing making him crumble into pieces. Back at the plantation Jennifer Kale is hurt over the lost of Man-Thing and leaves the room. She is meet up with Jack Russell, who in turn became infected with the Hunger, and is attempting to bite Jennifer. In an act of fear she calls Dormammu for help. Minutes later a group of zombies march towards the plantation.

Meanwhile Hellstorm is in a fight with Kale, Hellstorm manages to sink into Jennifer’s mind in order for her to remove Dormammu from her body. Both succeed and remove Dormammu and bring him back to his dimension. Morbius then realizes that only Jack’s human side is infected and not the Werewolf. He gets Jennifer to cast a full moon spell which changes Jack into the Werewolf. Jennifer then tells Morbius that Dormammu’s power froze the zombie cloud and that they need to transfer the virus into a host. They force Black Talon to help contain the virus. However the cloud sends the Wicked Brigade Zombie to attack the Midnight Sons trying to stop the containing of the virus. Werewolf and Morbius are defeated but all of a sudden, Man-Thing turns out to be alive and attacks the Wicked Brigade Zombie and kills it with his burning death touch.

Morbius then tells The Hollow to stop the nuke launch. The zombie virus has been stopped and Simon Garth is sent to be contained there.
