George Romero’s Empire of the Dead Concludes!

All good things must come to an end and things are no different for Marvel‘s Empire of the Dead series.

Written by Zombie flick veteran George A. Romero, the series hits it’s third and concluding act this April. Paired with artist Andrea Mutti, the final act focuses on the last group of human struggling to survive amidst the war between the zombies and vampires.

“Romero understands the wide possibilities of the comic format and has used it to tell his biggest, most epic story to date,” says series Editor Jake Thomas. “In this final chapter the narrative bomb he’s been carefully constructing under Empire of the Dead’s Manhattan goes off with a bang! There are dangers coming from all sides, no one is safe, and blood will flow. It’s everything an undeadhead would want from the Godfather of Zombies himself, George Romero!”

Empire of the Dead Act Three #1

Welcome back to NYC, years after the horrifying plague has swept the nation. The Big Apple is a quarantine zone – but that doesn’t guarantee safety! There are predators within the walls. Vampires lurk in the shadows preying on the living and the undead alike. But with the zombies seemingly growing smarter each and every day, the war between the two dead factions begins heating up!

Meanwhile, who is kidnapping the children of NYC? Where are they taking them and why? The future of Manhattan and humanity itself may rest in the answers! Don’t miss this excellent jumping on point when the zombie godfather and horror visionary’s next undead epic reaches its climactic chapter in April’s George Romero’s Empire of the Dead: Act Three #1!
