One of the things about it that bothered me was how Reed Richards gave up on fighting because he thought it was some kind of evolutionary step up and allowed the rest of his team to be infected. They were less than pleased with his decision without checking with them, and they destroyed him. Also didn't like how eating Silver Surfer seemed to bestow some of his power cosmic on the zombies, which they then used to attack and eat Galactus, gaining his power as well... but no one else with powers that was eaten seemed to convey a transfer of powers.
Just seems like bad writing all around in those stories.
Zombie stories generally are, but it was especially bad for the Marvel zombies stuff. You had a magical super-virus that affected everyone and everything no matter what its powers and how they should have been rendered immune to it or able to even cure it. The 'we can eat cosmic beings and steal their powers' was just part and parcel with the bad writing in general.
