“Conquest is for kings. Vilgax doesn’t need subjects,” said writer and artist Duncan Rouleau. “He wants something that can only be found in blood and battle. If he doesn’t find it there — worlds break.”

In addition to Duncan’s storytelling and artwork through the bulk of the issue, issue #9 also features an additional special creative contribution. Two pages within will be drawn by Cormac Hughes. The rising star artist has handled several slick covers for the series exclusive to Final Order Cutoff or the blind bags. Collectors who have gotten the opportunity to get their hands on his work have loved his style and fun homages. Joe Casey scripts these extra pages alongside Hughes.
