This. I think for outsiders, Imperium seems like a title that you'd have to be familiar with the Valiant universe to understand. I don't think that's necessarily true -- but the Imperium's readership is a subset of Harbinger fans in specific and Valiant in general.
Could be a case of identity crisis as you say - I'm *always* flabbergasted by the reception that Imperium & Ivar are getting (sales wise). They are hands down, consistently the two best written & drawn books in the current VEI line, it's rather frustrating to see them not connect with a bigger audience. :!:
