In the wake of Jonathan Hickman’s Imperial, the power structure of the Marvel cosmos has been shattered and reborn as the GALACTIC UNION.
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
A Kymellian mathematician has just developed the ultimate decryption algorithm – but for reasons of Galactic Union security, that CAN’T be allowed to happen. Time for MAXIMUS of the Inhumans to send in his Imperial Guardians – GAMORA, CAPTAIN MARVEL, AMADEUS CHO, DARKHAWK and COSMIC GHOST RIDER – for a little cleanup operation.
Trouble is, the Shi’ar Empire want the algorithm too, and they’ve tasked their Superguardians to retrieve it.
Are things going to go well? You do the math.
