The Comic Book Series


Empire of the Dead (also known as George Romero's Empire of the Dead) is a limited series of comic books by Marvel Comics that began publication in 2014. It is written by George A. Romero and is his second series of comic books after The Death of Death, a mini-series he wrote for the DC Comics anthology Toe Tags in 2004 and 2005. Empire features zombies similar to those in his Living Dead series of films.

One way the series departs from his films, and from most other zombie stories is that this one includes vampires....

The story is set some years after the events described in the 1968 film Night Of The Living Dead and refers back to the characters in that film. The female lead, Penny Jones, reveals that she is the younger sister of one of the characters in that film: Barbra Blair. This is where she explains, in Issue 1x1, to Paul Barnum why she works with and researches zombies.

A TV Series is in pre-production as of Aug 2015. In November 2015 AMC acquired the TV rights on the series.
