In a future alternate-reality Earth one existence in a swirling maelstrom of parallel worlds--a vicious totalitarian British Empire reigns supreme. But in Rome, the dying Pope sets into motion a dark plan to place the throne of Britannica under papal control--by any means necessary. And while such temporal machinations threaten the world's political and social stability, a monstrous force is building across the multiverse, and a countdown begins to almost certain dimensional apocalypse! Luther Arkwright has saved a universe before, but with an infinity of universes threatened with annihilation, all of Arkwright's preternatural talents are needed. If only Arkwright weren't dead ...
In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the original publication of The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, Dark Horse is proud to release a new edition of Arkwright's mind-blowing sequel.
"One of the most infinitely complex and deliciously perverse stories I've ever read, and yet something powerfully direct and unflinchingly noble shines through. Most "epic" graphic novels come off looking like a one-panel gag cartoon compared to Heart of Empire." said Dark Horse Senior Editor Chris Warner.
Heart of Empire: The Legacy of Luther Arkwright 2nd Edition features story and art by Bryan Talbot.
