George A. Romero's 15-Issue Empire Of The Dead From Marvel Hits New York In January
Bleeding Cool first told you about George A. Romero's secret Marvel zombie project in October 2012. Then, Marvel teased it last February. Now, USA Today has additional info on the 15 issue mini-series, which will launch in January with artwork by Alex Maleev:
the iconic horror director is taking his zombies to his hometown of New York City for the first time with the Marvel Comics 15-issue miniseries Empire of the Dead, debuting in January.
"I could never afford to shoot there," Romero, 73, says with a laugh.
It's still the major metropolis everybody knows but a few years into its zombie apocalypse. Some things have reverted to a prior state — there are sheep grazing in Central Park's Sheep Meadow. Yet there are strong social and political elements: The mayor is one of the main characters and a female member of the living dead starts to show some real smarts.
