SDCC 2025: MARVEL’s New Cosmic Order Revealed

For months, Marvel Comics has teased that IMPERIAL, the four-part epic by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, would usher in a new era of cosmic storytelling. Just now at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, fans learned exactly what that meant with the announcement of five all-new ongoing series spinning out of IMPERIAL later this year!

In addition to first looks for upcoming IMPERIAL WAR one-shots, Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, VP & Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, and writer Stephanie Phillips revealed the first wave of ongoing series set in the new intergalactic landscape created by IMPERIAL: PLANET SHE-HULK, NOVA CENTURION, BLACK PANTHER: INTERGALACTIC, EXILES, and IMPERIAL GUARDIANS. All five titles are set up in the IMPERIAL WAR one-shots releasing over the next few months and begin launching in November, starting with PLANET SHE-HULK by Stephanie Phillips (Phoenix) and Aaron Kuder (Daredevil) and NOVA: CENTURION by Jed MacKay (X-Men) and Álvaro López (Predator: Black, White & Blood). Both Phillips and MacKay are also writing their series’ respective IMPERIAL WAR one-shots.
