A SUPERHERO COMEDY
YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS IN IMPERIAL
The difficult choice one man must make when deciding to live a life of greatness
Fan favorite writer Steven T. Seagle (Genius, it’s a bird…, THE RED DIARY/THE RE[A]D DIARY), artist Mark Dos Santos, and colorist Brad Simpson come together for a bromantic comedy about superheroes in IMPERIAL, from Man of Action and Image Comics. Seagle teases, “It’s a buddy book with serious commitment issues.”
Mark is a couple of weeks out from the biggest day of his life—his wedding day—but then fate steps in and pulls the rug out from under him. He is faced with an impossible choice: Marry the woman he loves, understands, and puts up with his (many) human failings? Or, leave her at the altar in order to take up the helm of the world's one and only superhero, Imperial?
IMPERIAL #1 arrives in stores on 8/6 and is available to pre-order with Diamond Code JUN140469. Final order cutoff for retailers is TODAY, July 14.
