Mark Waid and Barry Kitson's EMPIRE VOLUME TWO to Launch This Month

The date has been announced for the long-awaited sequel to EMPIRE

No Caption Provided

The saga of Golgoth continues in EMPIRE VOLUME TWO from Thrillbent comics on May 28th. This is the long-awaited sequel to EMPIRE, by Mark Waid & Barry Kitson. The new volume will be serialized exclusively on Thrillbent, starting on the 28th and continuing twice a month thereafter.

Empire Volume Two marks the first major release for Thrillbent on the company's recently launched integrated iPad App, which streamlines the entire buying and reading experience while allowing users to sync their online accounts, access their comics through mobile devices and keep track of their purchases and reading. Empire Volume 2, along with all the other content on Thrillbent, is available with the $3.99 monthly subscription (also available through the website). As an added bonus, subscribers will also be able to download the original Empire. This is the only place that consumers will be able to digitally access the best-selling book, which has been long sold out of print. Empire Volume Two brings back the original creative duo of Waid and his co-creator Barry Kitson. Chris Sotomayor handles the coloring and Troy Peteri the lettering.

Golgoth's plan of world domination got him everything on Earth and volume two opens with him as powerful as ever.

But where is his strength coming from? The sole loyalist who kept him anchored to humanity is one year gone, and on the anniversary of Golgoth's loss, several seemingly coordinated new threats are surfacing around the globe. Each presents its own unique threat to the throne, and if Golgoth wants to maintain the crown, he will have to divide his forces--and his attentions--in dangerous new ways.

Make sure to check out EMPIRE VOLUME TWO and the first volume on Thrillbent on May 28th!

Finally got around to reading Empire last year. Great to hear there's a sequel on the way.

OMG!!! I thought I was the only fan. Never even imagined this would get a sequel. One of the greatest mini-series I've ever read.

I CAN NOT WAIT.

I'm hoping Endymion escapes and we get actually watch the two fight.

I liked it also, but does this mean there'll only be digital copies, and no paper copies? If so, I won't read it, I do not like digital comics.
