The Empty Empire

A seven-issue DC series from 2006 to 2008, The Empty Empire explores the aftermath of a vast, unseen conflict that has left a power vacuum in the cosmos. The story follows a group of unlikely heroes and survivors as they navigate a universe suddenly devoid of its former ruling structures, grappling with the political and existential fallout. Most closely associated with its writer and artist, the series is a thoughtful, character-driven epic that examines what happens when empires fall and new orders must be forged from the ashes. It stands out as a compact, self-contained saga within DC’s broader cosmic landscape.
