Mark is two weeks removed from his father's cremation. Mark is two
weeks away from his marriage to the woman he loves. Mark has just been
picked to be the only super-powered being on Earth... Imperial. Mark
has some tough choices to make.
An average-to-below-average guy who thought his biggest problems would
be slinging dad's ashes, learning how to waltz, and fitting into his
tux for the Big Day suddenly finds that his list includes unexpected
additions, like slinging super-powered punches, learning how to fly,
and fitting into a spandex uniform. Add to that mix delaying
laser-eye-beam training to pick the least offensive reception DJ and
trying to convince earth's protector that s'mores are superior to
viewing the rings of Saturn, and Mark and Imperial may have met their
respective matches. But what exactly is the magic formula for
"champion"?
Imperial tracks one man's transformation of the other into something
remarkable -- but it may not be the journey either expected. A buddy
book with commitment issues, Imperial is a heroic, romantic comedy
that invites a fresh new look at the tried and true "passing the
mantle" mythology courtesy of writer Steven T. Seagle (Genius, The
Red Diary/The RE[a]D Diary) and artist Mark Dos Santos.
