I was playing devil's advocate, as I'm a scifi fan myself. In any case, I wouldn't call any of those examples your typical trash space-marine teen scifi that some people here love. At least, it's still not so low as "Marvel Zombies"...
Now, how many post-apocalyptic stories about survivors against a zombie-infestation do you need to realize they're all the same? Alternate history stories offer a cool setup for some stories, but are ultimately an exercise in frustration: it could have been this way, but was not, now back to everyday. Speculating about the future is much more productive.
