About the series
In Sovereign (2014–present, Image), writer Chris Roberson and artist Paul Maybury craft a five-issue miniseries that imagines a world where the British Empire never crumbled, its royal family still ruling a globe-spanning dominion in the 21st century. This alternate-history thriller follows a disgraced spy navigating a web of political intrigue and rebellion, with Maybury’s lush, detailed artwork grounding the high-concept premise in a gritty, lived-in reality. A taut, self-contained story from the creators of iZombie, it stands as a sharp, understated exploration of power and identity in a world shaped by imperialism.
