Publisher Description. The intergalactic order was fractured forever this week in Imperial #1, the debut issue of the four-part event series that revolutionizes cosmic storytelling in the Marvel Universe! Written by Jonathan Hickman, known for his redefining work on the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men, and drawn by Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, two of the industry's most acclaimed artistic talents, Imperial serves as the foundation for an entire landscape of new galaxy-spanning series and packed with bold developments for characters like Black Panther, Hulk, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, and many more. Today, eager fans can see a never-before-seen preview of the next issue, Imperial #2, on sale July 9, along with all six covers.
In Imperial #1, tension and distrust spread across the cosmos after the startling assassination of various intergalactic leaders. In Imperial #2, the fire of war are lit and there's no turning back! As Nova and Star-Lord race to discover the truth behind these evil acts, a monumental conflict ignites between the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, the Shi'ar and more.
