The war that has set the Marvel cosmos ablaze was all a lie. For months, the galaxy’s great powers, the Kree, the Shi’ar, the Skrulls, and even Wakanda, have been fighting a massive conflict in the pages of Jonathan Hickman’s IMPERIAL. But the true puppet masters, the Inhumans, are finally ready to step out of the shadows and claim the Galactic Throne.
It wasn’t a sprawling Skrull conspiracy or a clash between the Shi’ar and Kree; the entire conflict was orchestrated by Black Bolt and his maniacal brother, Maximus the Mad. Forced into hiding after 2018’s DEATH OF THE INHUMANS, the Inhuman Royal Family is now making their devastating move. Maximus has been playing a massive game of intergalactic chess, creating chaos to clear the path for Inhuman rule.
