Spinning out of the world of Flash Gordon, Merciless: The Rise of Ming #1 launches Dynamite's 2012 miniseries dedicated to one of science fiction's most enduring villains. Alex Ross's cover is a striking double-image composition — a younger Ming strides forward clutching a blazing energy blade amid a forest of sharp spires, while his immense, imperious visage looms behind him framed by sweeping crystalline wings. Writer Scott Beatty and artist Ron Adrian kick off "Rules of Ascension," promising a story that puts the tyrant of Mongo front and center on his own ambitious terms.
