BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Act 3 of the horror epic hits comic book stores this April.
When the dead fight the dead, where does that leave the living? That’s the question as the legendary George Romero unleashes the final chapter in his new undead epic in GEORGE ROMERO’S EMPIRE OF THE DEAD: ACT THREE #1! Debuting in April, it’s zombies vs. vampires – with the desperate, last surviving humans caught in the crossfire! Writer George Romero and artist Andrea Mutti bring you the closing saga in the epic war between living and dead!
Welcome back to NYC, years after the horrifying plague has swept the nation. The Big Apple is a quarantine zone – but that doesn’t guarantee safety! There are predators within the walls. Vampires lurk in the shadows preying on the living and the undead alike. But with the zombies seemingly growing smarter each and every day, the war between the two dead factions begins heating up!
“Romero understands the wide possibilities of the comic format and has used it to tell his biggest, most epic story to date,” says series Editor Jake Thomas. “In this final chapter the narrative bomb he’s been carefully constructing under Empire of the Dead’s Manhattan goes off with a bang! There are dangers coming from all sides, no one is safe, and blood will flow. It’s everything an undeadhead would want from the Godfather of Zombies himself, George Romero!”
Meanwhile, who is kidnapping the children of NYC? Where are they taking them and why? The future of Manhattan and humanity itself may rest in the answers! Don’t miss this excellent jumping on point when the zombie godfather and horror visionary’s next undead epic reaches its climactic chapter in April’s GEORGE ROMERO’S EMPIRE OF THE DEAD: ACT THREE #1!
This has been an interesting series, with probably more than a few surprises that horror fans could sink their teeth into. The basic premise is weird enough, with zombies vs vampires, but throw in the emergence of the zombie Xavier (who you see above) and you have more than your average zed-thriller.
Xavier you see, can actually learn and seems to be evolving some kind of intelligence. That’s something relatively new for the genre on the whole and of interest to one of the main characters in Empire, Dr. Penny Jones, who’s very interested in uncovering the motivations behind the undead horde.
Add all that up, and you get the kickoff for act three, which we see about to play out here. Coming from the great George Romero and artist Andrea Mutti, Empire of the Dead: Act Three #1 hits stores in April.
