Original generated cover art — not a reproduction of any published cover
The second Jahan Cross miniseries, in which the spy story turns into a succession thriller and the Empire stops looking like an employer.
Five issues from October 2012 to February 2013, written by John Ostrander with art by Davidé Fabbri and covers by Stéphane Roux. No third series followed.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
