"George A Romero will write Marvel Comics&amp;#039; Empire of the Dead. The Night of the Living Dead filmmaker will return to the world of zombies with artist Alex Maleev.  A 15-issue limited series will continue Romero&amp;#039;s zombie stories, taking the action to his hometown of New York City, a place he could &amp;quot;never afford to shoot&amp;quot; in. The story will explore the growing intelligence among the walking dead. &amp;quot;These zombies are starting to show sparks of real care and concern for each other,&amp;quot; Romero told USA Today. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not going to go all the way to Omega Man where they take over the world, but I&amp;#039;m having a lot of fun with it. We&amp;#039;ve got some new rules and new characters, and we&amp;#039;re taking it in a completely different direction.&amp;quot; Romero previously teased the project, which was delayed from its originally planned October release. Empire of the Dead will now debut in January. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
