Fulgrim: The Perfect Blade and the Pride of the Emperor’s Children
The Blade and the Phoenix
This striking comic page from If Doom Slayer Joins the Imperium of Man focuses entirely on Fulgrim and his Legion without the Slayer present. In the top left, we see Fulgrim in his pre-Heresy glory, clad in baroque armor, his aristocratic face a mask of pride and deadly grace. The central panels show a powerful smith forging a sword with burning fervor, muscles tense and sparks flying, while another figure works meticulously at a workbench, crafting perfection in steel. One panel shows a bare-chested Fulgrim testing the blade’s edge, his elegant poise masking the killer beneath his flawless skin. A dramatic close-up captures a gauntleted hand gripping the sword’s hilt, adorned with the winged iconography of the Emperor’s Children. In the bottom right, Fulgrim stands among his loyal sons, clad in resplendent warplate, embodying the height of Imperial nobility before corruption would twist it all into horror.
