MARVEL ZOMBIES 2 #2

Two issues in and pretty much nothing has happened in this Marvel Zombies sequel. It's not that the issue, itself, was bad, but this is a five issue mini-series that I've dropped $6 or $7 on and I feel like I'm not getting anything for my money.
Basically, this issue sees the zombies make it back to Earth and the Hulk ate one person before all the zombies started bickering on whether to eat everyone now or set up breeding camps so they can make their meal last indefinitely. The issue ended with Spider-Man and Luke Cage objecting to the inhumane (can zombies be inhumane?) ideas and fighting back against the other zombies, with a little help from Black Panther and Wasp.
However, this issue also introduced some odd problems. First up is the time frame for Black Panther's supressing his zombie hunger. It doesn't seem like it's been that long since he was locked up and he's already a fully functioning non-human eating zombie? The other zombies have been flying through space longer than he was locked up and the first thing Hulk does is eat someone. Next up is the last page or two where Spider-Man unleashes the power cosmic, nearly decapitating Pym. Seems fine enough, considering they all have the power cosmic, but, afterwards, when they all start fighting, Black Panther and Wasp, who do not have the power cosmic, are seen fighting back and holding their own against the stronger zombies. Also, the zombies never use the power cosmic again, opting to punch each other.
Verdict - Check It. It's still some fun Marvel Zombie action, but this issue doesn't really add anything or progress this sequel's story. I expect this series will finally start with next month's third issue.
