Three New Marvel Imperial Comics For Nova, Guardians And Exiles

We have the names of three new Imperial spinoff comics for Nova, Guardians and the Exiles from Marvel Comics this year

Imperial #1 launched today by Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello, and Federico Vicentini from Marvel Comics, and we have been promised two new spin-off books in August, Imperial War: Black Panther and Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk. Well, Bleeding Cool can tell you that one of those is wrong. Because the first of those books will be renamed Imperial War: Panther Rex. And there will be three new spinoff books to add to the two. One with Nova, one with the Exiles and one with the Guardians. Here is the full rundown.

• Imperial #1-4
• Imperial War: Nova – Centurion #1
• Imperial War: Planet She-Hulk #1
• Imperial War: Imperial Guardians #1
• Imperial War: Exiles #1
• Imperial War: Panther Rex #1

That's enough to keep you going, but also not too much to break the bank. And a collection of all these issues will be out in February. Which of these titles will continue further, I can't tell you. Yet. But odds are one or two (or three or four) will.

Notably, the Exiles were usually a team created from characters from different parallel dimensions working together, alongside the X-Men. People have been waiting for a new Nova comic for some time. And will we be getting a new Guardians of the Galaxy out of this?
