George Romero expands his world to include vampires (gag!), but also gets us back to the origin tale, in which we see what actually occurred to Ba-rr-bah-ra after being taken from the house by the plague of living dead (this, for a purist like me, is tantamount to finding a rare diamond!). Hopefully I can get my paws on Act two & three.

George Romero’s first three zombie movies are classics of the genre: Night/Dawn/Day of the Living Dead are great films (the latter is more of a stretch but it’s still very decent). But Romero’s last three zombie films - Land/Diary/Survival of the Dead? Turdtacular movies. It’s like Romero is trying to do everything he can to dismantle his legacy with those bad zombie movies!
And with Empire of the Dead, Act One (which I’m guessing every movie studio he pitched it to turned down so he sold it to Marvel as a comic because The Walking Dead sells, eh?), I just wish he’d retire and let the Dead series die.
So what’s the gimmick this time around? Vampires! Because the kids love the vampires, right? Uh… maybe a few years ago, but they’re kinda played out at this point. Like zombies. Some of whom can now think and retain parts of their humanity despite having turned. Oh wooooow, I don’t care!
The vampires are the secret rulers of post-zombie apocalypse New York. They keep the survivors entertained by having zombies fight each other in gladiatorial combat. And that’s it basically. Still awake? Didn’t Walking Dead do something similar in the Governor storyline minus the vampires?
Alex Maleev’s semi-realistic art is a good fit to bring the horror of Romero’s script to life and I always enjoy Matt Hollingsworth’s colours, but the art team’s work is the only part of this book that’s any good. Romero’s writing just stinks.
The threadbare plot is full of non-characters and dull storylines you couldn’t care less about. There’s a power struggle between one irritating vampire and another. One human “character” is starting to figure out that the mayor is a vampire. There’s a zombie police officer that’s trying to do something. BO-RING!
Romero’s completely out of ideas at this point (and arguably has been for at least 25 years!) and he can’t make me care one bit about anything that’s happening in this book.
George, our culture owes you for the whole zombie thing. Night of the Living Dead in 1968 kicked off the craze that continues to this day, and that’s a good thing because there’s a lot of great zombie movies/comics/books out there as a result. But Empire of the Dead, Act One proves that you’ve run the franchise into the ground and you need to stop - it’s getting embarrassing.
I wouldn’t recommend this one even for zombie comic book fans who enjoy titles like The Walking Dead or Marvel Zombies. Stay away from Empire of the Dead, you can still save yourselves - you don’t want to get infected like meeee!!

Pretty cool Zombie tale from the Master, George Romero. It almost reads like the next movie in his series, so I wonder if perhaps he had originally created this concept for a film.
It's set in New York City, in the same type of zombie ridden future we see in movies like Land of the Dead. People still live in the city even though parts are overrun by the undead. Zombies battle one another in an arena for peoples entertainment. However, in a twist, zombies are getting smarter. The good part is it's making them less savage and easier to live with. Could there be a time when zombies and humans can survive side by side?
The biggest surprise in the story has nothing to do with the zombies. It seems there's another type of undead lurking in the city as well...vampires.
Very interesting, and the art from Alex Maleev is top notch. On to Act Two...

So, we're all bored of zombie stories now. Finally. Romero knows this, so what does he do? Does he do something radically different to re-energize the genre? No, he pulls in another equally tired genre (vampires) and the spin on the zombie genre is that some of the zombies are starting to exhibit basic intelligence. /Yawn/ The execution doesn't help things much either, the main character is forgettable, the plot is slow to start, I just didn't care much.
I give him credit for bringing in Maleev. The art here is really cool. It manages to give hints of an old-style horror comic, but with lots of modern overtones.
I picked it up for the artist and he didn't disappoint. It's a shame he was given a script like this.

Keď si dopredu neprečítate (ako ja) o čom to je a idete čisto po tom len kvôli Romerovi, tak by som povedala, že budete príjemne prekvapení. Takže tu už ďaleh proste nečítajte lebo nasadím spoiler lebo sa mi nechce formátovať na mobile text na skrytý. Nemŕtve stvorenia sa o mesto musia deliť s ľuďmi a.. ďalšími nemŕtvymi, ktorý majú celé to mesto pod palcom a považujú zombie za podradný druh a odpad a ľudia (niektorí) sa snažia naopak dať hnijúcim spolubývajúcim šancu ukázať, že ich mozgová kapacita nie je úplne na nule a stále sú schopní fungovať a pamätať si. Príjemná kresba ktorá sa k tomu skvele hodí s krásnym coloringom. Za mňa spokojnosť a teším na druhý book. 4/5

A bit off putting at first - there is more here than just zombies.
The Walking Dead has zombies and humans, and humans versus each other.
This adds vampires to the mix, and it changes things quite a bit.
But still - great tale!

No está mal, no es ni lo mejor ni lo peor que he leído sobre apocalipsis zombies. Lo cogí por impulso en la biblioteca y me lo he leído en un par de sentadas. Lo peor de esta novela gráfica son los colores, ya que no siempre se distingue correctamente lo que aparece en cada viñeta.
Nos encontramos con una ciudad de Nueva York en la que las autoridades están consiguiendo mantener a raya a los devoradores. En cierto modo, se ha logrado un control de la situación, aunque el nivel de alerta se mantiene y, en cualquier momento, cualquiera puede ser atacado por sorpresa. El alcalde, un hombre que esconde más de un secreto, lucha por mantener el poder y hasta permite que los zombies sean usados como un entretenimiento. Uno de sus colaboradores, una doctora, una devoradora y unos insurrectos son los que, sin darse cuenta, comenzarán a provocar un cambio...
Aparte de los muertos vivientes, hay otro peligro que acecha a la ciudad. No desvelaré cuál es, pero vi original añadir ese elemento a la trama y creo que puede dar mucho juego en las siguientes entregas, ya que aquí únicamente se asientan las bases del posible enfrentamiento que se podría dar cuando todo se desvele.
No hay demasiados personajes y eso sirve para que cada uno pueda destacar correctamente. Es verdad que no llegamos a conocerlos en profundidad, pero sí que se ve su papel en todo lo que ocurre y las dudas o traiciones que se van gestando.
Mi única queja a nivel argumental es que, en ocasiones, se dan situaciones que no están completamente bien explicadas y determinadas escenas resultan confusas.
El ritmo de la trama no es trepidante, pero tampoco es lento. Sin necesidad de ser apasionante, consigue ser lo suficientemente ameno como para que no se pierdan las ganas de seguir leyendo.
El desenlace es extraño, aunque doy por hecho que eso es para que tengamos curiosidad por la siguiente entrega. Además, quedan muchos frentes abiertos, lo cual también es lógico.
Respecto a lo que es el tema artístico, debo decir que las expresiones de los personajes no me convencieron en los instantes de más crudeza. Siempre parecían muy serenos, incluso cuando estaban matándolos. En todo caso, y ya lo adelanté al principio de esta reseña, lo que menos me gustó fue el uso de colores. Predominan las tonalidades oscuras y las sombras, por lo que se le resta claridad e impacto a muchas viñetas.
En resumen: una obra que tiene pequeños toques originales y entretiene, pero a la que le falta fuerza. Aun así, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

Yeah this one pretty much sucked on all levels.
Confusing story. Terrible art. Lame characters.
Zombies vs Vampires sounds cool in theory but execution? Not even close. Massive disappointment.

Absolutely wretched.

I loved the artwork in this series, colour always makes a comic better in my opinion. I'm struggling a little with there being vampires in Romero's zombie universe however they do make an interesting side story to apocalypse. Five very short comics within the volume but each one delivers a punch.

I think this is probably a closer case to what some people out there criticized The Last Jedi for: the mythology is starting to change, and the question is, is it a good change? George Romero (may he rest in peace, if he... really stays dead, muahaha etc) in his final (not posthumous) completed work in his own created mythology of beings who come back to "life" and kill by eating the flesh of others, now expands once again from his later films to set the saga in New York city (where, incidentally, he grew up before going out to Pittsburgh) and this time we get... vampires... and Roman Gladiator games with the dead fighting the dead for living humans amusement... and now the undead continue to become smarterer than we've seen them before (and here I thought Bub was the extent in 'Day').
I think a lot of this is fun stuff for Romero to explore, and it's cool, at the end of his career, to finally go into a medium that we only got peripheral glimpses of his love for (as in Creepshow, a full on EC comics homage). And the art by Alex Maleev has its creepy moments. If it disappoints it's maybe because a) not all the dialog is really too clever, and b) Romero might be doing TOO much here as far as adding vampires into this world he's created - or maybe he thought that zombies werent enough? (he did tackle vampires in his underrated film Martin, but this is pretty far from that mythology - here it's... okay the Mayor is a vampire). It's got pulp and edge and I like a lot of the characters - including the undead ones - but maybe too it's... the satire isnt all there, at least outside of gladiator games and vampire elites which is so not original either.
Ill finish this series and I think overall it's fine. But if you're not a diehard Romero fan (as I guess I sort of am) it may not be for you. All the same, at least it is trying to do some different things and isnt only the relentlessly grim soap opera of The Walking Dead.
PS: spoiler(?) How Romero actually brings in Barbara from Night of the Living Dead as connective narrative tissue (like one of them is a relative)... not sure how I feel about that.

Many years after the initial zombie plague ravaged the Earth, Manhatten has been quarantined and is now run by the suviving elite who use the zombies for their own amusement in gladiator style arenas. However, the zombies are starting to evolve, they're starting to remember and regain some control over their actions. Some believe we can coexist with them while others want them destroyed for good because they pose a threat to a far more ancient threat that has been lurking in the shadows and controlling every power play in the city for centuries.
George A Romero is the man responsible for setting alight my love for the zombie hoardes, ever since I first watched Night of the Living Dead. So when I discovered he had also written for Marvel comics with a new twist on his zombie stories I was there. The artwork is good and suitably brutal, this first story sets up the overall story arcs quite well (although I did find it did keep skipping back and forth a little too frequently) and he even managed to link this story back to Night of the Living Dead in a convincing and very satisfying way. If you're a fan of Romero's movies, I think this is a decent follow up and a great introduction to this limited series that plays out over 3 acts.

I have only read the first of this five-part series (mostly because I did not know about the other four at the time) but what I did gather is that not only has the world been decimated by the undead but now we get to throw vampires into the mix. The V's are worried that their supply of human happy meals will run out due to the plague of the "other" undead getting in on their action.
We also see the makings of what was referred to as the "thinking" zombie first seen in "Land of the Dead" that are either driven by a sense of undying duty or by an unrepentant rage from their former life being carried out after their demise.
Things I did not care for: The nephew of the mayor of the book looks like... wait for it... a freaking vampire, including a cape and cheesy Euro-trash pickup lines (Thank you to Vampire$ for that gift) and how the former SWAT cop seemed to gain some sort of intelligence by getting partially fried by a 3rd rail incident. Meh...

2.5 Stars. Reviewing Acts 1-3. Theoretically Romero's Last Zombie tale (other than the posthumous The Living Dead novel, Road of the Dead, and if that Zombie Noir ever comes out).
It's honestly an improvement over Diary and Survival. It's if he had the budget of Land of the Dead again but didn't make it as ridiculous as Toe Tags (which I actually preferred to this one). Still, it's satire is strong and honey glazed.
Basically--we are kept entertained by our sports, soaps (television and cinema) and soma. We are almost in a vegetative/zombie state. We are actually secretly controlled by a cabal of vampires. Ultimatley, the genuine change cannot come from these vampire elites (even the "good ones" but the zombified masses).
I'd have been annoyed if I purchased all 15-issues in the floppies. Really only for completionists.

Zombies are all the rage these days, what with the ongoing success of The Walking Dead and all. Younger fans might have overlooked the guy whom Robert Kirkman stood on the shoulders of, Mr. George Romero. If you do not know who he is, use that thar Google button on yore Internet machine and get on right back to me, y'hear?
Done? Okay, good. This takes place 30 years after Night Of The Living Dead. Humanity has been sequestered into Protected Zones, where military and SWAT teams keep the undead out and people live a somewhat normal life within the confines of Manhattan. Of course there is another kind of undead now, the original undead...vampires. Couple that with the emergence of the self-aware, almost thinking zombie and you have a fresh spin on a stinking, rotting idea. Leave it to Romero to once again save us all.

This graphic novel, which serves as a sequel to George Romero's Living Dead movies, is an interesting work of zombie horror, even if it is nowhere near as classic as his original trilogy. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic New York City that is infested with zombies, and follows the efforts of a scientist studying whether the undead can be controlled. However, it seems that zombies may not be the only undead they need to worry about.
This isn't a bad horror comic, though it has less gore than you would expect from an adaptation of George Romero's work. That said, some of the plot twists at least border the silly.

Fantástico primer acto de esta trilogía. Contiene todo a lo que Romero nos tiene acostumbrados, además de un relato dotado de fuerza y fluidez. Las viñetas, sus colores y diálogos traspasan el papel, al evocar un estrecho vínculo con las películas. Historia paralela a lo que sucede en Land Of The Dead, además de la tensa relación con los otros "no muertos". Lugar a parte merece la introducción del propio Stan Lee. Imprescindible.

September 24, 2023Didn't know Romero wrote comics too. Alas, this is feels like an uninspired remix of plot points from other "...of the Dead" movies by Romero. That said, there is some clever stuff with how vampires and zombies are both undead in different ways. I'm sure I'll finish the series, but more out of a sense of completism than anything.
July 25, 2023
It seems as if this book isn't completely sure what it wants to be so it falls short across the board. Some of the ideas are interesting, but they aren't well fleshed out and get lost in the shifting narrative.

A bit closer to The Walking Dead than the certified Romero classics, but it's still always nice to see our favorite Yinzer play around in a zombie sandbox. The art here by Alex Maleev and Matt Hollingsworth is really good too.

Decent artwork with a storyline reminiscent of a Land of the Dead

This was so good??? I think this might have overtaken Scooby Apocalypse as my favourite comic series, I can't wait to read the next part.

An ok expansion of the Romero zombie universe. Goes a little off the rails with the introduction of vampires. So-so art.

George A Romero... The one person who re-invented the zombie genre.
Not long, and zombies became overhyped and appeared in everything you could find. What would come next? Vampires! Freaking vampires, of which some could sparkle in the sunlight and would go to high school to stalk pretty girls...
Honestly, I still wonder if this comic book was made because to wanted to draw everyone's attention by mixing two of the most popular 'horrors' or not.
Suprisingly, this had a valid story. It reminded me alot of the movie 'Land of the Dead' with some modern influences which came from The Walking Dead.
I love the fact that George gives his zombies character development. They're not all braindead walkers in his stories. So what could go wrong? Well... Nothing much!
The vampires don't play a large role in this volume, although you can predict what will happen next that will shock the whole community. What will happen when a zombie gets bitten by a vampire? Or a vampire gets bitten by a zombie?
i gave 4 stars for its good build-up, but it lost a star because of one reason.
The art. What the hell? I know this artist is well-known for his unique style, but it starts to get annoying when you can't see enough details.
I read some comics of 'New Avengers' with the same style, but even those comics were better drawn than this.
Still, I'm curious to read the next 2 volumes and see how the story will progress.
