Imperium

In the wake of the Harbinger Wars, Joshua Dysart steered Valiant's Imperium (2015–2016) into a morally complex exploration of power and control, following the superhumanly intelligent Toyo Harada as he attempts to reshape the world through his own ruthless brand of peace. With a shifting visual landscape from artists like Cafu, Khari Evans, and Doug Braithwaite, this 16-issue series stands as a key chapter in Valiant's cosmic and psychological drama, examining the cost of utopian ambition when the architect is a man willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve it.
