After nearly 20 years of writing essentially every major Marvel character, from the X-Men to the Avengers to the Fantastic Four and, recently, Spider-Man, writer Jonathan Hickman’s name has become synonymous with a certain form of superhero comic. It’s not that they are realistic or mature, per se. Hickman’s epic stories of metahuman power struggles and universal destiny still contain all the colorful tropes at the heart of the Marvel universe. Rather, they take themselves seriously in a fashion that reliably reveals new wrinkles and possibilities among narratives that have run for more than 60 years. His stories consider how these many fantastical elements enhance fundamental conflicts, elevating both the genre elements and delivering unforgettable sagas that are about more than punching a new villain. He returns to consider diplomacy, war, and empire across the heavens in this week’s Imperial #1.Imperial #1 is published by Marvel Comics and written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, colors by Federico Blee, and letters by Cory Petit. It is the debut of a four-part event centering upon the fragile alliance of Marvel’s many cosmic powers, including the Kree-Skrull alliance, Shi’ar, Spartax, Wakanda, and even Sakaar. Events kick off with a series of assassinations, including Hulk’s son Hiro-Kala, before a meeting of the Galactic Council. Earth heroes, including Star-Lord, Nova, and Hulk himself, are drawn in to investigate the source of this disruption, revealing new secrets and threats before the end of Imperial #1.Following that prelude, the issue’s pacing doesn’t allow for any tedium to creep in through extended debates or exposition. The issue regularly shifts its focus and provides plenty of action sequences to offer consistent varieties of tone, mood, and even layouts. However, every new sequence is sure to add some important information, whether it’s about the current state of these galactic empires or a significant character dynamic. Information is embedded into an issue that includes formal gatherings and secret meetings, as well as noir-style investigations and gladiatorial combat.
