Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling v1 #1

[DonCampbell]

Year ago (Tarnax IV)
-------------------------
Empress R’Klll
Princess Anelle (also in flashback)
various other Skrulls (none named)
Galactus
Mar-Vell (only in flashback)
baby Dorrek VIII (only in flashback)


A few months ago
----------------------
Theodore Rufus "Teddy" Altman (Dorrek VIII, a.k.a. Hulkling) – also in two flashbacks with his supposed mother
William "Billy" Kaplan (a.k.a. Wiccan) – also in a social media photo with his Strikeforce teammates Winter Soldier, Angela, Spider-Woman and Blade
David Alleyne (prodigy)
Thomas "Tommy" Shepherd (Speed)
staff and other patrons of a gay bar
Krystal M’Kraan
Raksor
Bel-Dann
members of the Skrull cult known as the Children of Lost Tarnax (none named)
"Mary-Jo Altman" - only in flashback to Teddy’s childhood and in flashback to her death
Tanalth the Pursuer (not who she really is)
Captain Glory (Glah-Ree)
Mur-G’nn the sorceress
Super-Skrull (Kl’rt)
other members of the Kree-Skrull Alliance
Kree Imperium rebels (none named, all later killed by Tanalth)

Notes: The fact that Bel-Dann and Raksor both die after their meeting with Hulkling and before the end of the story indicates that their murders in Incoming #1 take place between the pages of this issue.

The social media photo of Strikeforce that Billy sent to Teddy must have been taken during that short-lived series.

The opening scene of the destruction of the Skrull Throneworld by Galactus is based on events depicted in Fantastic Four #257 but with some dialogue omitted and some new dialogue (about Anelle’s child) added. Even more dialogue will be added when that scene is revisited again in Empyre: Aftermath Avengers #1.

Further analysis

[DonCampbell]

My mistake. I did a search for "Lords" in Character Watches and got no results so I thought nobody had dealt with the three "Lords of Empyre" one-shots yet. My apologies to Leoparis for (unintentionally) ignoring his Issue Analysis.

No need to apologize, the more analyses, the best. The links I've added are just there to gather the analyses on one comics in one place, to make it easier when the comics will be implemented.
