George Romero's Empire of the Dead: Act One

George Romero's Empire of the Dead: Act One is a 2014 Marvel miniseries that brings the legendary filmmaker's zombie vision to comics, with Alex Maleev providing the gritty, atmospheric art. This single-issue debut introduces a world where the undead have been contained within a quarantined Manhattan, now a brutal arena where survivors, the military, and even organized crime vie for control. It matters as Romero's return to his own zombie mythology, extending his cinematic legacy into a new medium with a dark, urban survival thriller.
