Originally written as a 300 page screenplay, which Romero says he might adapt into a series of novels to boot, “Empire of The Dead” is slated to run for fifteen issues. It’s officially described as…

• Welcome to New York City years after the undead plague has erupted—but just because Manhattan has been quarantined, don’t think that everyone inside is safe!

• Not only do flesh-eaters roam within Manhattan, but there’s another ancient predator about to take a bite out of the Big Apple!

• Plus: It’s a terrorizing team-up in variant cover form when the Zombie Godfather unites with the Zombie King – Arthur Suydam!
