The slow build of the Valiant shared universe has been one of the wiser decisions in all of comics over the past half decade, and a big part of that has been the inter-connectivity of the universe, without anything feeling forced or overwrought. Toyo Harada, the most powerful telekinetic in the Valiant universe, is the focus of “Imperium,” and the book continues to take a character that was already reviled and make him, simultaneously more loathed and more understood. Our pals at Valiant have provided us with and exclusive look at next week’s “Imperium” #4, and the pages we received focus on the Rising Spirit resistance.
