a brand-new, all-color Finder story by Carla Speed McNeil, a prose piece
from science fiction legend Harlan Ellison, the return of Michael T.
Gilbert's Mr. Monster, and much, much more!


I'm, of course, a little partial to Crimson Empire and Royal Guards, so
this is exciting news for me. That said, I wasn't a huge fan of the old
Crimson Empire comics. The idea was awesome, but I thought the interior
artwork sucked (badly proportioned and clearly drawn off of action
figures) and the story execution was just ok. Hopefully they will have
improved some, as they are dealing with some awesome material. :)
