Black Order #1

Black Order #1 kicks off with a high-stakes mission: the Grandmaster’s elite enforcers, the Black Order, descend on Emperor Attican’s empire with orders to destroy it. But when they arrive, they find the empire is far from defenseless—ready to fight back with unexpected resolve. Written by Derek Landy and illustrated by Philip Tan, with bold inks by Marc Deering, Guillermo Ortega, and Le Beau Underwood, and vibrant colors by Jay David Ramos, the issue’s dynamic art and tight pacing set the tone for a clash of power and ambition. The cover, also by Philip Tan, captures the tension with striking detail.
