FROM THE PAGES OF IMPERIAL! A coup at home has imperiled Shi'ar Majestrix Xandra, tearing her from the throne. Her only hope for survival lies in a mismatched group of renegades led by her father, Professor Charles Xavier, and her resurrected mother, Lilandra! But when faced with the awesome power of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, the only way to survive…is to run!
While I was not looking forward to this issue as much as the others in this line, I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of story and drama. Read Full Review
Imperial War: Exiles #1continues to shake up the cosmic landscape, this time giving Charles Xavier a new purpose outside the X-Men and putting a cosmic spin on a classic X-Men team. Read Full Review
mperial War: Exiles is a one-shot that is not 100% tied to the current Marvel cosmic event. While the impact of Imperial is certainly felt, this was 100% about examining the state of the Shi'ar Empire. Read Full Review
There's some new players in the cosmic game, and that's pretty awesome, even if it seems just a tiny bit unlikely that they're all characters we've already met, with ties to Earth? Worth your time, though. Read Full Review
Imperial War: Exiles #1 is a decent, if abrupt read. I like seeing how this aisle of the marvel cosmos engages with itself, but I do wish it went a bit zanier with the character action and art. Read Full Review
I'm not usually a huge fan of Shi'ar stuff or cosmic stuff in general (I didn't even know Xavier and Lilandra had a kid) but this issue was good. One of the few Shi'ar related things I do like is Deathbird and this was a pretty good issue for her. I'm enjoying Imperial War so far and this is a good one shot side story.
Good stuff! For me a bit tricky to read to be honest but it all comes together at the end.
