Imperial

Visionary writer Jonathan Hickman launches Imperial, a sweeping cosmic event that reshapes the galaxy’s balance of power. A murder spree among the rulers of the galactic empires ignites a spiral of intrigue, war, and political peril, setting off a crisis that echoes across star systems. As Nova and Star-Lord sprint to expose the mastermind, the investigation drags readers into the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda and a roster of iconic players—Hulks, Black Panthers, Guardians, and cosmic monarchs—at the center of a galaxy-wide power struggle. Imperial is a landmark saga that blends espionage, mythology, and frontier-scale conflict, continuing the kind of universe-building Hickman reshaped with House of X and Powers of X. Collecting Imperial (2025) #1–4 and the Imperial War tie-ins, with art by Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, and covers by Marco Checchetto.
