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.

Professor X goes on the run in ‘X-Manhunt’

The crossover event will take place in March’s X-Men titles.

Marvel has announced X-Manhunt, a crossover that will run through most of the X-Men related titles in March.

The story will revolve around Professor X’s escape from Graymalkin Prison, where he’s been since the “From the Ashes” line-wide reboot earlier this year. His escape and subsequent plea for help will cause strife amongst the many different groups of mutants, and the story will play out in issues of Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, NYX and more, before wrapping up in X-Manhunt Omega #1 at the end of March.

“We’ve mostly been keeping the various groups of X-characters separated from one another as we set up the post-Krakoa landscape,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said. “But it feels like now is the right time to send them crashing into one another. And who better to instigate this situation than the disgraced Professor X, who has intimate connections with almost all of our key players?” 

Check out the covers and issue descriptions below for the eight-part crossover, which also reveal the return of at least two mutants to the X-titles — Mister Sinister and Maggott.
