Take a look at the cover for the third issue of IMPERIAL, the new universe-altering series by Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello, and Federico Vicentini, set to debut next month.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- The Marvel Universe is braced for a galaxy-spanning war, one that will shatter existing empires and open the stargates to a new intergalactic order! It all begins next month in IMPERIAL, the highly anticipated four-issue event series by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini. Transforming the cosmic landscape, IMPERIAL kicks off a new line of space-set storytelling, starting with five IMPERIAL WAR one-shots like the recently announced IMPERIAL WAR: BLACK PANTHER and IMPERIAL: PLANET SHE-HULK. Today, fans can discover what awaits in IMPERIAL #3, on sale this August. The issue will reveal who’s really been pulling the strings and using the universe’s most powerful empires—from the Shi’ar to the Kree/Skrull Alliance—as mere pawns!



Part three of a four-part Marvel cosmic event!

As the conflict begins to spread out to the wider universe, find out who’s really orchestrating the great game of cosmic houses as the last chance to stop a universal war presents itself. Will our heroes be able to stop it in time?
