Les aventures du jeune... Empereur Ming ?!

En avril, Dynamite va publier MERCILESS: THE RISE OF MING, un prequel à l’actuel série FLASH GORDON – ZEITGEIST. Cette nouvelle série se focalisera sur l’ascension de l’impitoyable et prééminent Ming empereur de Mongo!

“In most heroic fiction, we (the readers, that is) never really question why the villains do very bad things. It’s always just assumed that evil is as evil does,” says writer Scott Beatty.
“Ming is one of the great antagonists of science fiction. In many ways, he’s archetypal and the model for all intergalactic despots to follow. But he’s not just Ming. Everybody knows he’s Ming the MERCILESS. And he’s successful at being just that. Ming has a plan. For EVERYTHING. Readers of FLASH GORDON can think of MERCILESS: THE RISE OF MING as “required reading” for the series’ central conflict. It’s a primer that reveals not just who Ming the Merciless is–well before he ruled all of Mongo–but just what he did to get there… and WHY he did it.”
