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).
