Marvel reveals two Imperial War one-shots featuring Black Panther and Planet She-Hulk!

Next month, Imperial, a four-issue event series by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, kicks off a galaxy-spanning conflict, boldly transforming the cosmic landscape of the Marvel Universe. The highly anticipated series sets the stage for a new line of intergalactic storytelling, starting with five Imperial one-shots that spotlight individual characters and groups as they navigate the startling developments and explosive conflicts sweeping the stars.

These key chapters of the overarching Imperial narrative will each be co-written by Hickman with the first two hitting stands in August: Imperial War: Black Panther #1 by writer Victor LaValle and art by CAFU and Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk #1 by writer Stephanie Phillips and art by Emilio Laiso. Each features a cover by Francesco Mortarino.

The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda is under fire from all sides in Imperial War: Black Panther! Blamed for the assassinations that have started an all-out galactic war, T’Challa will first need to survive a brutal assault from the World-Breaker Hulk and Amadeus Cho before he can even think about hunting down the true culprit! And all while his spacecraft spirals towards certain doom! Sounds like another day at the office for the Black Panther!

Then, a brutal war of succession ignites in Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk! Left behind on New Sakaar to keep the peace, Jen Walters discovers that in this savage realm, what’s needed isn’t a litigator, it’s a liquidator! Fortunately, She-Hulk is accomplished at being both!

Preorder Imperial War: Black Panther #1 and Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk #1 at your local comic shop and stay tuned in the weeks ahead for more Imperial War one-shot announcements.

Imperial #1 covers tease the transformation coming to the Marvel Cosmos

Jonathan Hickman’s sweeping new cosmic epic, Imperial, arrives this June. Known for his influential work on Fantastic Four, Avengers, and X-Men as well as the creation of Marvel’s hit new Ultimate line, the visionary writer will now team up with superstar artists Federico Vicentini and Iban Coello to revolutionize Marvel’s galactic canon in this four-part event series. The series lays the foundation for an entire new landscape of interconnected space-set series, making it the must-read comic book of the summer. Fans can see all the covers for the debut issue including pieces by acclaimed artists Adi Granov, Peach Momoko, Miguel Mercado, Alessandro Cappuccio, and Skottie Young and a main cover by Marco Checchetto. Plus, check the first of a four-part connecting cover by Javier Garrón, a new cover in Todd Nauck’s Iconic Variant Cover series, and a Hidden Gem cover by Jim Lee!

The covers feature all the major players involved in the wars to come, including Hulk and She-Hulk, who return to Sakaar to restore order; Nova and Star-Lord, who team up to prevent the galaxy from falling into the worst hands; and the Shi’ar, who will be torn asunder in a battle for the throne!

Imperial finds the galaxies of the Marvel Universe on the brink of major upheaval, following the elimination of several of its most prominent leaders.

Get a first look at Imperial. Marvel’s cosmic universe is on the brink of war!

Get a first look at Imperial, a new comic series launching this June that’s set to revolutionize the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe! The four-part event series is written by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman, known for his transformative work on Fantastic Four, X-Men, Avengers and Marvel’s new Ultimate line, and drawn by both Federico Vicentini and Iban Coello. Imperial lays the foundation for an entire new landscape of interconnected space-set comic series coming later this year, making it the must-read comic book of the summer!

Imperial kicks off with the elimination of several prominent intergalactic leaders. Nature abhors a vacuum, and as empires fall, rulers are overthrown and power is seized, a new galactic order is born! The saga delivers groundbreaking developments for various groups in the Marvel Universe, including HULKS, BLACK PANTHERS, NOVAS, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and, as revealed last week in X-Manhunt Omega #1, mutants! The finale of the X-Men’s latest milestone crossover, X-Manhunt, saw Professor X depart to the stars to rescue his daughter, Xandra, deposed Majestrix of the Shi’ar Empire.

The new Imperial preview spotlights two main story threads. Coello’s pages depict Hulk, She-Hulk and Brawn returning to the savage planet Sakaar, where Hulk raged and conquered in the epic “Planet Hulk” storyline. Meanwhile, Vicentini’s pages tease both hope and corruption as Star-Lord recruits Nova to help guard the galaxy against the coming turmoil—while his father J’Son plots how to take advantage of it! Both sets of pages feature spectacular new characters designs, showcasing the immense amount of creative energy these acclaimed artists are bringing to this all-new era of storytelling!
