2000AD Presents - The Complete Nikolai Dante - Part 3 (of 4)(1997 - 2012)(- Nem -)

Set in the twenty-seventh century after a resurgent Imperial Russia has seized absolute control of both the entire Earth and an interstellar domain, the series follows Dante, a swashbuckling young thief and ladies man, as he discovers he is an illegitimate scion of the Romanov Dynasty, aristocratic rivals to the Tsar, Vladimir the Conqueror of the House of Makarov. Dante's Romanov genes enable him to bond with a sentient "Weapons Crest", a biological weapon which gives members of the dynasty superhuman abilities: in Dante's case, the ability to extend bio-blades from his hands and hack into computer systems at will. He outrages aristocratic society and enjoys a turbulent relationship with Tsarina Jena. Early plotlines also dealt with attempts by Dmitri, the Romanov patriarch and bitter enemy of the Tsar, to mould Dante into an aristocrat and killer worthy of the Romanov name.

Eventually Dmitri's underhand political manoeuvering prompts his war between the Makarov and Romanov dynasties, despite Jena and Dante's attempts to prevent it, and the lovers break off their burgeoning romance to side with their families. The Civil War rips the Empire apart, and Dante is forced to commit many atrocities in the Romanov name. Eventually Vladimir triumphs; Dmitri dies by his own hand and the power of the Romanovs is broken.

Dante returns to thieving, joining his estranged mother, Katarina Dante, and her notorious pirate crew. After a time spent in the pacific, he is forcibly recruited by the Tsar to investigate the proliferation of cyborganic weaponry similar to the Romanov Weapons Crest. In his new role as Sword of the Tsar, Dante secretly abuses his position to plot against his employer. His underworld connections come into their own as he begins to build himself a secret army.

A brutal massacre in the oppressed state of Amerika proves to be the final straw that prompts Dante to lose his cool and try to kill the Tsar. Imprisoned and tortured, Dante escapes from jail with the help of Jena. The two renew their relationship and raise an army of thieves and whores to fight (and win) a revolutionary war against the Tsar. Tsar Vladimir is put on trial for his crimes and a victorious Dante proposes to Jena, vowing to end his womanising ways once and for all. At this eleventh hour, their new-found happiness is cut short by the surprising return of Dmitri Romanov, who had been long thought dead.
