Story Title: The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire: Chapter Nine - Vulcan’s Descent
By: Ed Brubaker
Artists: John Watson, Clayton Henry & Mark Morales
Synopsis: Vulcan thinks back to how he has emerged on a platform to usher in D’Ken’s new reign as head of the Shi’ar Empire. A while ago, he helped Deathbird escape from a prison moon. He admired her as soon as he saw her in action, and they seemed to gel quickly. She was as ruthless as he was. Once free, they headed for open space and spent some time traveling, fighting and destroying, falling deeper in love with each passing day. They eventually made their way to a hospice, where her brother was recovering from the catatonic state he had been in for several years. Chancellor Araki met them and, despite a clear reluctance to allow Vulcan anywhere near D’Ken, Deathbird used her authority to have him accompany her. Inside the hospice, Araki explained how their telepaths had been trying to bring D’Ken’s mind back to its original state, only for them to wind up just as catatonic as the emperor. It seemed that the three divisions of his brain could not communicate with each other. Knowing Deathbird was anxious to see her brother restored to greatness, Vulcan decided to try and fix the connections himself. He was successful, and D’Ken awoke. D’Ken was astonished. He then received word that Shi’ar forces were approaching, so Araki told his Secret Order to defend their emperor. Vulcan and Deathbird joined them in the massacre, and then escaped with Araki and D’Ken in a craft, heading for an operational stargate. En route, D’Ken spoke with Vulcan. He wanted to repay him for bringing him back to normality, and asked him to marry his sister.
