Next month, IMPERIAL (2025), a four-issue event series by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, kicks off a galaxy-spanning conflict, boldly transforming the cosmic landscape of the Marvel Universe. The highly anticipated series sets the stage for a new line of intergalactic storytelling, starting with five IMPERIAL WAR one-shots that spotlight individual characters and groups as they navigate the startling developments and explosive conflicts sweeping the stars.

These key chapters of the overarching IMPERIAL (2025) narrative will each be co-written by Hickman and the first two, IMPERIAL WAR: BLACK PANTHER #1 by award-winning writer Victor LaValle (WOLVERINE: SABRETOOTH WAR) and acclaimed artist CAFU (VENOM) and IMPERIAL WAR: PLANET SHE-HULK #1 by rising superstar Stephanie Phillips (PHOENIX) and extraordinary artist Emilio Laiso (GODZILLA VS. X-MEN), hit stands in August.




The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda is under fire from all sides in IMPERIAL WAR: BLACK PANTHER! Blamed for the assassinations that have started an all-out galactic war, T'Challa will first need to survive a brutal assault from the World-Breaker Hulk and Amadeus Cho before he can even think about hunting down the true culprit! And all while his spacecraft spirals towards certain doom! Sounds like another day at the office for the Black Panther!

"Working with Jonathan Hickman on an interstellar epic—who wouldn't be thrilled by that idea? I'm excited to start working on the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda because there's not enough stories about Black folks in outer space. There could always be more. By the time I'm done, T'Challa and Shuri will have constellations named after them, in some distant galaxy," LaValle said.




Then, a brutal war of succession ignites in IMPERIAL WAR: PLANET SHE-HULK! Left behind on New Sakaar to keep the peace, Jen Walters discovers that in this savage realm, what’s needed isn’t a litigator, it’s a liquidator! Fortunately, She-Hulk is accomplished at being both!

"She-Hulk's voice just came naturally to me from the first line—she’s so sharp, funny, and confident," Phillips shared. "It's been incredible getting to bring her story to life as part of IMPERIAL and see what this talented lineup of creators is building together."

 

What's crazy about this show is that it has five female senior staff members, and it's a prequel to the original series, which only had one female senior staff member.

• Netflix is betting big after Fallout’s success

About Revival:

On one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story, as the "revived" appear and act just like they once were. When local officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she's left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.

Wynonna Earp star Melanie Scrofano returns to SYFY in the Season 1 premiere of Revival on June 12.

 

This feels like a reworking of that The Returned series that came out about 10 years ago. That show was more a suspense/mystery piece and this one seems like they are leaning more into the sci-fi/horror elements.

 

I was just thinking the same thing, I liked that original show.

Apple's Hit Sci-fi Saga Foundation Returns for Season Three


From Apple TV+:

Set 152 years after the events of season two, The Foundation has become increasingly established far beyond its humble beginnings, while the Cleonic Dynasty's Empire has dwindled. As both of these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance, a threat to the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a warlord known as "The Mule," whose sights are set on ruling the universe by use of physical and military force as well as mind control. It's anyone's guess who will win, who will lose, who will live, and who will die as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons, and Demerzel play a potentially deadly game of intergalactic chess.

The 10-episode season will debut globally with one episode on Friday, July 11, on Apple TV+, followed by new episodes weekly, every Friday through September 12.
