Jonathan Hickman, acclaimed writer known for his work on Fantastic Four, the X-Men's Krakoan Age, and G.O.D.S., returns to Marvel Comics with a new cosmic saga, 'Imperial,' set to launch in Summer 2025. Marvel teases a major galactic war, hinting at the potential conflict within the Shi'ar Empire, an ancient spacefaring civilization previously explored by Hickman during his X-Men run.

Marvel has unveiled their next major saga, as legendary X-Men architect Jonathan Hickman returns to explore the cosmos in Imperial . Teased as"The end of the beginning," Imperial by Hickman arrives in the Summer of 2025, with Marvel hinting at a major galactic war , saying,"Nature abhors a vacuum."

Imperial May Focus On A Destructive New Galactic War The Shi'ar Superguardians are called the "Imperial Guard" While there is basically zero information about who or what Imperial will focus on, it is safe to assume that it will take place and space, and presumably feature members of the Shi'ar Empire. The Shi'ar, one of Marvel's oldest galactic empires, was a major focus for Jonathan Hickman during his run on X-Men, and they have not been heavily featured in some time.

Posts In fact, the Shi'ar warrior Gladiator recently waged all-out war against Jean Grey, using the weight of the powerful Galactic Council to send Thanos and Perrikus on a mission to kill Phoenix. While the fate of the Galactic Council is unclear, Jean's success in the Phoenix series could lead to the dissolution of the Council, which could potentially be the"vacuum" that space is experiencing.

Posts 5 It Seems Likely Cannonball And Sunspot Will Play A Role In Imperial Jonathan Hickman planned an Imperial Guard series before leaving the X-Men It would be very surprising if the iconic X-Men heroes Cannonball and Sunspot did not appear in Imperial, since creator Jonathan Hickman explicitly expressed regret that he did not get to write an Imperial Guard series featuring the two mutants while in the X-Office.
