Crimson Empire was a series of comic books written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley. They were originally released by Dark Horse Comics in 1997 and 1998 as a 6-issue monthly series, which were later compiled and sold as a trade paperback. Its sequel, Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood, was released later in 1998 and 1999. It is primarily acclaimed for the twelve-page final duel between Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax. In late 2008, it was claimed that work on Crimson Empire III, Crimson Empire's second sequel, would begin; Randy Stradley later debunked this claim.

[edit] Publisher's summary
In all the Empire, there are no more fearsome warriors than the Emperor's Imperial Guard, and none is more loyal than Kir Kanos. But when Carnor Jax—the most formidable of this elite brotherhood—betrays the Emperor and orders the murder of the Guard, Kir must escape to carry out his duty to avenge his master. Devoted to the last, Kir must nonetheless ally himself with Rebel forces to help him attain his retribution in the face of the Empire's full might brought down to destroy him. For Kir Kanos, the last royal Imperial Guard and the final threat to Jax's rise to power, there are no alternatives—loyalty never dies.
