Empress Comic Series by Millar and Immonen, #4 out tomorrow!
For those of you who like comics, this review from my other blog might also interest you.
Mark Millar might be familiar to you as the creator of comic books that made into innovative films, like Kick Ass and Wanted. It’s how I came across him as an adult reader of comics. (As I child I loved Caspar and Wendy, and Phantom, which was about all I could get my hands on). So maybe I’m not your average comic reader, I don’t know.
In this series, which is the new one from Millar, teamed with Immonen’s drawing abilities, Earth 65 million years younger, and occupied by an advanced civilisation that came way before us. Earth is ruled by a brutal despot, a man who is willing to kill on the slightest sign of rebellion or to make an example. His wife, The Empress, has to get away from him and take her children to keep them safe, with just her body guard, Dane, for help.
