Might have got a few more preorders if they titled it Guardians Of The Galaxy for a bit of brand recognition but....yeah.

This new cosmic line was dead on arrival. Imperial being lacklustre didn't help either.

Truly, Marvel's whole new cosmic line is a dud:

- Black Panther only ever intended to be 4 issues
- Imperial Guardians demoted from ongoing to 5 issues before release
- Planet She Hulk already has a filler artist by issue 3
- Exiles still hasn't even been solicited
- Oh and there's Nova I guess

If i remember right theres a version where its Masque's face reflected in his mask too

Smashed it Jon!

Oops! Well it's a great cover anyway :)

Ha! Good one

The 90s were a hell of a drug!

They also fought a couple of times, forgot to add (with regular Eddie Brock Venom). I liked it better than any-time Venom fought Spider-Man. One of the last good arcs after Darkhawk fell from in his last 25 issues.

Such an odd choice. Why would a Hulk need a full mech suit?

Glad I'm not the only one that didn't enjoy Imperial. Nothing happened for most of it - didnt even bother picking up the finale!

The best parts of the whole thing were the Guardians/She-Hulk one shots for me. Hickman really dropped the ball on this one

It is Chris, that was revealed in the recent one shot that sets this up

It's a weird team, but obviouslt I'm there for the Hawk!

I do wonder why Marvel are branding these guys as Imperial Guardians though rather than GotG

If the recent one shot is anything to go by, looks like Abnett will be looking to change his origins again
