Merciless: The Rise of Ming

The origin of one of science fiction's seminal supervillains, and the arch
nemesis of Flash Gordon, is explored in this softcover collection of Dynamite
Entertainment's critically acclaimed Merciless: The Rise of Ming
four-issue mini-series!
Set decades before the would-be interplanetary conqueror turned his
attentions upon an unwitting Earth, Merciless chronicles the formative
years of Prince Ming, heir to all he surveys and the fabulous peoples of distant
Mongo, a planet politically divided by its divergent species and as physically
fractured as the ring of shattered moons orbiting it. Disillusioned by his
father's rule and anxious to begin his own dynasty, Ming engineers events to
seat himself upon the imperial throne of Mongo, sooner rather than later. Armed
with mindboggling weapons of planetary destruction, Ming the Merciless won't
settle for anything less than dominion over his world... and every galaxy in the
known universe!
