SDCC 2025: Marvel’s Cosmic Order Revealed

For months, Marvel Comics has teased that Imperial, the four-part epic by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, would usher in a new era of cosmic storytelling. At the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, fans learned exactly what that meant with the announcement of five all-new ongoing series spinning out of Imperial later this year!

In addition to first looks for upcoming Imperial War one-shots, Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, VP & Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, and writer Stephanie Phillips revealed the first wave of ongoing series set in the new intergalactic landscape created by Imperial: Planet: She-Hulk, Nova Centurion, Black Panther: Intergalactic, Exiles, and Imperial Guardians. All five titles are set up in the Imperial War one-shots releasing over the next few months and begin launching in November, starting with Planet She-Hulk by Stephanie Phillips and Aaron Kuder and Nova: Centurion by Jed MacKay and Álvaro López. Both Phillips and MacKay are also writing their series’ respective IMPERIAL WAR one-shots.

Planet She-Hulk is a solo series unlike any other in She-Hulk’s history as she uses her brains and brawn to maintain order on the savage planet of Sakaar. Nova: Centurion represents a new era for one of Marvel’s oldest and most iconic space-faring heroes as Nova does whatever it takes to keep the memory of his people alive amidst the corrupt system now governing the stars. Read on to learn more!

What better time for Daimon Hellstrom – a.k.a. the Son of Satan – to pay a visit? It starts with the doctor who delivers a baby that vanishes into the night. A doctor who is devoured by demons wearing New Orleans P.D. badges. Demons who work for someone – or something – -that’s descended on the Big Easy and doesn’t give a damn who Hellstorm or his father is. Something that’s harvesting body parts in a furious race toward unspeakable purposes. This is the Son of Satan as you’ve never seen him before, brought to you by acclaimed novelist Alexander Irvine (The Narrows), with searing art by Russell Braun (Animal Man) and Klaus Janson.

Review: Exiles #2

SHE COMES FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE AND SNOW!
…and enchanted hammers! The Exiles land in Asgard just in time to aid Valkyrie in a fight against the fire demon Surtur! But the Lord of Ragnarok is the least of their problems. The Time-Eater is hot on the team’s heels, and when he takes Asgard, no Valhalla awaits Valkyrie or her new friends. Good thing they’re about to pick up a Wolverine! And he’s got red on his claws. The mystery of the stolen pies starts here as Blink completes her new team of multiversal champions!

Exiles #1, it was good but didn’t quite blow me away. Exiles #2 is more of the same with new team members picked up and the debut of the Thor: Ragnarok inspired Valkyrie, except she’s not a whole lot like her movie counterpart. Written by Saladin Ahmed, the issue is very similar to the first in that it bounces the team around as they barely escape the time eater. Combine the two issues and things might have been better with a quicker pace but the two issues feel a little drawn out.

Crunching the two into one issue would also take off the pressure of Valkyrie who looks like her movie counterpart but is at the point she’s still a member. That’s opposed to the drunk bounty hunter we fell in love with. So, it’s the same character but not at the same time. With a compressed beginning, that could be set up later. As is, I was too focused on the differences. Wolvie also joins the team in a comedic fashion and how he gels with the story will be interesting. Funny or irritating. It’ll be a fine line.

The art by Javier Rodríguez, ink by Álvaro López, and color by Chris O’Halloran is decent. It’s not quite my thing but the transitions are cool and there’s such varied characters and locations but it all still works.

Two issues in and I’m ready to tap out but like previous volumes, I’m not sure this is for me. And that’s ok to say. It’s not bad, it’s just not my cup of tea. Things are picking up a bit so I’ll give it until the end of the first arc but so far, we’ve seen this creative team do better.
