Secret Empire

In 2018, Panini France launched Secret Empire, a five-issue miniseries that pits the Marvel Universe against a shadowy conspiracy threatening to reshape the world from within. Written by Christophe Bec with art by Stefano Landini, this French-published story offers a standalone, high-stakes thriller that expands the publisher's line of original Marvel-licensed comics. It matters as a distinctive European take on familiar superhero iconography, blending espionage and cosmic-scale danger.
