A cynical mind would suggest this is nothing but a crass attempt to string totally unrelated properties together. Such a person was probably never a ten-year-old kid who liked nothing better than to spend an afternoon weaving elaborate, utterly incoherent storylines that allowed He-Man, Lion-O, Batman and Megatron to meet and interact (and beat the crap out of each other). That's really the appeal of INFESTATION: the notion that the heroes of our childhood all co-exist on some level, and can (at least indirectly) be on the same team. The set-up is nothing particularly new: a portal to another dimension unleashes a horde of the undead. What IS different is the nature of these zombies: they're not strictly mindless, but drones of a powerful intelligence - and they're not just limited to human flesh, either. The plague opens more portals and spreads out across the multiverse of licensed film, TV, and toy properties, and soon Captain Kirk, Peter Venkman, etc. must each deal with their world's version of the fiends.
Since this is a collaborative effort, the tone does switch from chapter to chapter, but for the most part the story continuity holds up pretty well. My only (minor) gripe was that the G.I. JOE story, while well told, doesn't feature a certain taciturn ninja who's depicted on the book cover. So, slight disappointment there. Beyond that, the book was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out this year. Recommended.
