George A Romero talks upcoming projects

During an interview last year The Godfather Of Zombies, George A Romero gave a status update on his upcoming projects. He also revealed that he is working with Marvel on their own zombie comic, we still don't know much about the comic but Marvel have released a picture.

"I am in fact adapting a novel right now, and it is a zombie novel, but it’s not my kind of zombies. It’s a novel called The Zombie Autopsies written by a Harvard medical doctor. It’s a wonderful book and I’m having a wonderful time adapting it into a screenplay. I am also working on an original story, which I guess if I had to categorize it, I would say it’s a psychological thriller. it’s….mmm, Psycho like? But it’s not really. I don’t know how to tell you anything more without giving it away. But in reality I don’t actually know for sure what the next one is going to be. It often comes up out of the blue. You just don’t know which one the money is going to come through for. I am also writing a comic for Marvel. I’m writing it now, but it’s plot is a secret…
…Well I can tell you it won’t involve any of their on-going characters, there will be no superheroes. But it will involve zombies!"

Will this be Marvel's answer to The Walking Dead? Hopefully it is, my only other guess would be a Limited Edition run within Romero's universe.
