“One”

A fallen gold-and-red helmet resting on barren, rubble-strewn ground sets an immediately arresting tone for this opening chapter — something has gone very wrong for whoever wore it. Above the bold "IMPERIAL" title, a cosmic starfield frames a striking lineup of heavy-hitters including Black Panther, She-Hulk, and a green-skinned warrior among others, hinting at a formidable ensemble at the heart of Jonathan Hickman's new Marvel series. With art from Federico Vicentini and Iban Coello, colored by Federico Blee, and a cover by Marco Checchetto, Imperial #1 arrives in 2025 as a compelling setup for what promises to be a grand-scale story.
