IMPERIUM TP (2025)

"The world's most powerful team of mercenaries is on the defense as an elite international kill squad led by Livewire and H.A.R.D. Corps' Major Charlie Palmer descends to destroy Imperium's stronghold! Toyo Harada will save the world...if he doesn't doom it first. The revolutionary disruption that Harada and his team have launched - by deposing tyrants, housing refugees, and feeding the poor - has come at the expense of the world's wealthiest nations. When the planet's leaders have had enough, it will be decided: Toyo Harada must die. Now a crack unit of operatives will stand against Harada on the global stage...with his own former pupil, Livewire, taking him head-on. The war starts here as New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER WARS) and Harvey Award nominated artist Khari Evans (HARBINGER, The Immortal Iron Fist) unite for an explosive new chapter...pitting the Valiant Universe's notorious team of monsters and revolutionaries against the very system they've sworn to overthrow! Collecting IMPERIUM #13-16."

"Spy vs. superhuman as 'THE VINE IMPERATIVE' boils over! Toyo Harada's war to save humanity by taking over the world roars on against the only enemy this planet cannot contain a sinister network of undercover alien spies! A deadly chess game between Harada and the alien visitors called the Vine has been unfolding for decades. The Vine once even created the living weapon called LV-99 to assassinate their enemy, but failed. Today, as Harada executes his agenda upon Earth - and with LV-99 on his side this time - the Vine's cold war finally turns infernally hot. Jump on board the series that Bloody Disgusting calls 'the height of sophisticated comic book stories' here with a powerful new story arc from New York Times best-selling writer Joshua Dysart (HARBINGER WARS) and red-hot artist CAFU (UNITY) and Juan José Ryp (NINJAK)!"
