Empire (comics)

Empire is an American comic book limited series created by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson.

The protagonist is a Doctor Doom-like supervillain named Golgoth who has defeated all superheroes and conquered the world, but must now contend with internal power struggles.

The series was originally published in 2000 by Gorilla Comics, a company formed by Mark Waid, Kurt Busiek and several others, but the company folded after only two issues were produced.

The already published two comic books were collected in a #0 and then the rest of the story was told over six issues.

In April 2014, the rights to the series reverted to Waid and Kitson and the series returned under Waid's Thrillbent comics platform.
