Empress, Issue #5 is the fifth of seven issues, and it sees the main characters separated and in disarray. The children are going to be sold as slaves, but unfortunately for their would-be slavers, they have the children locked up in a room full of seemingly useless old junk. Captain Havelock, the Empress, and Tor are on the run, with the Emperor hot on their tail and a tribe of savages about to use them as a sacrifice. I bought the variant cover.
I say the same thing in almost every review of The Empress, and I'll say it again. Stuart Immonen is awesome. This is just an all-around classic yarn about a family trying to escape a tyrannical father. There are a few things I wonder about, like how all this story gets wrapped up in seven issues. I think that there must be an Empress 2 and perhaps even an Empress 3 and beyond.
