SOVEREIGN #1-5 (Chris Roberson / Paul Maybury)

Malgré son poste de responsable éditorial sur la plateforme Monkeybrain et sa prise de recul par rapport aux éditeurs mainstream, Chris Roberson réitère sa foi dans le média. Pour limiter les déconvenues, le scénariste expérimente chez divers éditeurs: avec la suite de « Memorial » chez IDW Publishing, la mini-série « Strangers » chez Oni Press, et enfin son nouveau projet projet « Reign ».

La terre de Khend vient de perdre son Roi. Les quatre clans influents cherchent à le remplacer. Il y a les Tamurid « seigneurs des chevaux » et conquérants de Khend il y a plusieurs générations; les Luminari « mangeurs-d’âmes », assassins sans visages; le peuple Kendish et leurs innombrables dieux; et les Albelunders, les nomades représentants la Reine Blanche.
Pour cette nouvelle série épique (en production depuis plus d’un an chez image) le scénariste a fait appel au dessinateur Paul Maybury.

Sortie du premier numéro dans le courant de l’année.

[quote=« Chris Roberson »]The title refers to more than one struggle for control. The hereditary ruler of the land of Khend has died, leaving his sons and heirs to fight for the throne. But at the same time, representatives from other countries in this world have arrived at the court, with the possibility of war breaking out if things go badly. And while all of this political and military struggle is happening, out in the margins some individuals discover that they are developing supernatural powers they never suspected they had, as magic that has long been dismissed as myth and legend begins to return to this world. But there is more than one kind of magic, and ultimately only one form will prevail.

Also, kung fu morticians.[/quote]
