The story pits Al Simmons and his allies against the cosmic threat of Emperor Kurr and his forces, with key supporting characters like Wanda Blake, Eddie Collins, and The Man of Miracles caught in the conflict. Written and illustrated by a roster of Image founders and collaborators, this volume captures the publisher's early-2000s era of interconnected superhero storytelling.
A brutal alien emperor prepares to erase humanity, but two of his scientists make a desperate choice that changes everything. In "The Way It Was," Erik Larsen crafts a gripping, morally charged tale of rebellion and consequence, with his own art, inks, and lettering bringing the story to life alongside the bold colors of Reuben Rude and Abel Mouton. The cover by Erik Larsen captures the intensity of a world on the brink.
In "The Way It Was," a chilling tale from Image Comics Hardcover #1, Emperor Kurr—ruthless ruler of a dying alien race—prepares to erase humanity to secure his people’s survival. When two of his scientists rebel against the genocide, they steal a royal egg and enact a desperate plan to spare the future, leaving the emperor broken and alone in a burning field.
In "null," Velocity and Ripclaw race against time to uncover the truth behind an alien ship that might hold the key to stopping Cyberdata’s deadly virus. As the virus claims more lives, the two heroes face a harrowing choice when Ripclaw falls victim—his fate hanging in the balance as the ship’s secrets remain just out of reach.
