As this new empire rises, so do new heroes, including the IMPERIAL GUARDIANS, a bold new evolution of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Follow their space-faring missions to defend this newly formed and perilous cosmic landscape in IMPERIAL GUARDIANS, a new ongoing series launching in March.

Imperial Guardians #2
The Galactic Union has brought peace to the galaxy. But who will keep that peace?
It’s another day and another dirty job for the IMPERIAL GUARDIANS as MAXIMUS of the Inhumans sends his black-ops team to handle a problem that nobody else wants to touch.
Our heroes head for Xarth, a minor civilization with major ambitions. The Xarthians have got their hands on something that could make them major players on the galactic stage overnight — or bring down the Union ENTIRELY. And you know they’re not going to give it up without a fight…
