The Sovereigns by Chuck Wendig is a six-issue comic series published by Dynamite Entertainment in 2017. It functions as a crossover event that brings together classic Gold Key Comics characters who were all getting new solo series at the time. Magnus, Turok, Solar, and Doctor Spektor are thrown together when a threat too large for any one of them arises.
Wendig was a natural fit for this project since he was already writing the solo Magnus and Turok series for Dynamite at the same time. The Sovereigns gave him the chance to connect those separate stories and establish how these characters exist in the same world. The series ran from issue #0 through #5, telling a self-contained story over the course of 2017.
For readers new to these characters, The Sovereigns works as an introduction to the Gold Key lineup. For those already following the individual titles, it adds a layer of shared continuity. The tone lands somewhere between classic adventure comics and modern sci-fi, fitting Wendig’s style of mixing old-school concepts with updated sensibilities.
