[quote]It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.
To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.[/quote]
[quote]"On Behalf of the Emperor" follows the adventures of Commissar "Caelius Regulus", a recent graduate from the Commissariat. Commissar Regulus has been stationed with the unorganized, decimated and sassy ranks of the 128th Cadian on a desolate ice world. With little to no experience on the battlefield, the Commissar must use his skill and cunning to get the 128th back on it's feet and ready for whatever threats may come their way in the 41st millennium.[/quote]
I plan to keep weekly updates to this comic, but that's not always possible. Anyways, enjoy.

Frankly, I'm surprised there isn't a comic megathread yet. Comics really are an under-appreciated medium, and I hope to see more of these.
