Romero’s latest riff of the zombie genre, which he helped create with 1968 film Night of the Living Dead, is set in New York City years after a zombie plague, when vampires are ready to claim what’s left of Earth.
The 15-issue Empire of the Dead comic book series is still in the process of publication by Marvel Comics.
