Written by visionary creator Jonathan Hickman, known for his redefining work on the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men, and drawn by Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, two of the industry's most acclaimed artistic talents, IMPERIAL serves as the foundation for an entire landscape of new galaxy-spanning series and packed with bold developments for characters like Black Panther, Hulk, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, and many more. Today, eager fans can see a never-before-seen preview of the next issue, IMPERIAL #2, on sale July 9, along with all six covers.
