The cosmic side of the Marvel Universe is experiencing a radical transformation in IMPERIAL, the four-issue event series by Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello, and Federico Vicentini. In its wake, a new era of space storytelling begins with series launches like PLANET SHE-HULK, NOVA: CENTURION, and, announced today, BLACK PANTHER: INTERGALACTIC, the four-issue limited series by acclaimed writer Victor LaValle (Wolverine: Sabretooth War) and rising star artist Stefano Nesi (Gwenpool).
- Imperial #1: In Space, No One Can Hear Your War Cry
- Imperial #2: Click, Click, Boom
- Imperial #3: Wheels Within Wheels
- Imperial #4: Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown (Or: Shoot At The King, Ya Best Not Miss)
BLACK PANTHER: INTERGALACTIC is part of the first wave of series spinning out of Imperial, an epic saga that shatters the existing status quo of the Marvel cosmos and establishes a new intergalactic order among its most powerful empires, including the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda.
