The follow up to the War of Kings finds our heroes up against some rather unpleasant ‘heroes’ that have emerged from the rift that is known as The Fault.
Most of the individual titles were pretty much self contained, and that is how I have decided to bind the series.
The Realm of Kings vol.1
Realm of Kings 1
Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard 1-5
Realm of Kings: Inhumans 1-5
Realm of Kings: Son of Hulk 1-4
The Realm of Kings vol.2
Marvel Premiere 32 (This features the first appearance of Monark Starstalker, who is re-introduced into the Marvel Universe in Nova 29)
Nova 29-36
Guardians of the Galaxy 18-25
The series continues in the The Thanos Imperative: Ignition one shot, followed by the Thanos Imperative mini-series.
Nice! So there isn’t ANY elements that cross over any of the titles? Is the rift the only thing they have in common?
More or less. Each have their own problems to deal with e.g. with the Imperial Guard it’s the Starjammers, with Nova it’s the Sphinx. Thanos doesn’t really surface til near the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
