Geekscape Comics: Mark Waid’s ‘Empire Vol. 2’ Begins May 28th, Check Out The Cover!

Briefly: It’s been a long time coming, but Vol. 2 of Mark Waid’s Empire is almost here!

The new book will continue “the saga of Golgoth, a remorseless villain whose long-game plan of world domination finally won him the planet Earth and everything on it. While Golgoth’s reign in the first book was filled with challenges and conflicts – including a drug-induced plot again him by his own ministers, his innocent daughter’s troublesome aspirations, and the threat of extraterrestrial forces – Volume 2 opens with his grip on the world as strong as ever.

But where is his strength coming from? The sole loyalist who kept him anchored to humanity is one year gone, and on the anniversary of Golgoth’s loss, several seemingly coordinated new threats are surfacing around the globe. Each presents its own unique threat to the throne, and if Golgoth wants to maintain the crown, he will have to divide his forces–and his attentions–in dangerous new ways.”

The book will be available exclusively on ThrillBent, a service that boasts a myriad of awesome comic book content for a cool $3.99 per month subscription. The first piece of Vol. 2 hits ThrillBent on May 28th, and will continue twice monthly thereafter.

With art from co-creator Barry Kitson, as well as  Chris Sotomayor on colours and Troy Peteri on lettering, Empire should be worth the subscription alone. You can take a look at the cover art for Empire Vol. 2 below, and let us know what you think!
