Nova + the X-Men enlist in ‘Imperial War’

Professor X’s X-Manhunt story continues in a tie-in one-shot for ‘Imperial,’ while Nova tries to preserve the Xandarian Worldmind.

Marvel has announced two additional one-shots to spotlight some of the players in Jonathan Hickman’s Imperial miniseries. Imperial War: Exiles and Imperial War: Nova Centurian will both arrive this fall.

In case you missed it, Imperial is the latest project from Hickman, the architect of Marvel’s Ultimate Comics relaunch, the Krakoa era of the X-Men line and more. He’s working with Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini to redefine Marvel’s cosmic characters in Imperial, which kicked off earlier this month (I thought the first issue was pretty awesome myself). Marvel will publish five one-shots that tie into the event, starting with Black Panther and She-Hulk, and followed by two more in September.

Hickman, Vicentini + Coello reach for the stars in ‘Imperial’

The trio will redefine Marvel’s cosmic titles in a miniseries that blasts off in June.

Jonathan Hickman, the architect of Marvel’s very successful Ultimate Comics relaunch, will next turn his attention to Marvel’s cosmic characters in Imperial, a four-issue miniseries that kicks off in June.

Hickman will be joined by two artists, Federico Vicentini and Iban Coello, who will present new takes on everyone from Nova to the Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as exploring the legacies of Planet Hulk and the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda.

“I’m very excited about this project as I’m obviously a huge fan of all things Marvel Cosmic,” Hickman said. “The goal here is to kind of do what we did with the recent Ultimate line for all of our space titles, except having the setup book be more of an event than a world building exercise. The art team is killing it, and we’re all just very excited for what’s happening in this special corner of the Marvel Universe.”
