Empire: Uprising #3

Empire: Uprising #3 brings the tension to a fever pitch on a cover by Barry Kitson that packs in a massive blue-skinned bruiser, a young redheaded fighter clutching a blade and a heavy weapon, and an armored figure caught in the chaos of a fiery explosion — all framed against a dramatic collage of watching faces and a prominent skull. Mark Waid and Kitson's IDW series continues to deliver a world where villainy holds power and the cracks are starting to show. This is sharp, kinetic superhero storytelling with a dark edge that keeps you turning pages.
