IMPERIAL (2014)

"Mark is two weeks out from making the biggest decision of his life. But which big decision will it be? Taking the ring of the woman of his dreams and becoming a married man? Or taking the crown of the world's only superhero and becoming the next Imperial? STEVEN T. SEAGLE (THE RED DIARY/ THE RE[A]D DIARY, Genius, it's a bird ) teams with MARK DOS SANTOS for a buddy book with commitment issues. "

"ALL TREMBLE BEFORE THE EVIL THAT IS METERAX AND HIS... ah, you know what? Who gives a damn? Mark's wedding to Katie is looming and he still hasn't learned how to fly or gotten a superhero costume yet. But it's Imperial who gets a lesson when Mark teaches him how to make s'mores: Jab it-Heat it-Stack it-Squish it. Now that's worth saving the world for. "

"Better than sex? That's the party line that super heroic Imperial is towing for his protege hero-in-training, Mark. But even if it is better, does that mean Mark is willing to give it up-along with a lot of other human trappings? And what is the unholy menace that men call 'Pancho Sarape?' Well, actually, he's just a bad wedding DJ, but some things aren't worth fighting over, right?"

"THIS IS THE DAY THAT WILL CHANGE A LIFE FOREVER! Seriously, it will. But how...? Will Mark take the ring of Katie-the woman who has chosen him to be her life-long soul mate? Or will Mark take the crown of Imperial-the hero who has selected him as mankind's next great protector? Or is there some third option Mark could never see coming? (Probably that last one. That would be fun!)"
