This week ladies and gentleman, theys and thems!
The one Imperial War: Imperial Guardians one shot (or whatever it was called) already confirmed it was Chris no?
Reposting for original art of Darkhawk π₯
Ya boy is back
(For 5 issues only)
Don't love the needless corporate synergy of Cho having Hulk armour, but my boy Darkhawk is looking good
Oh this is really really sad :(
But hey, Imperial Guardians issue 2 has some nice covers by Sean Izaakes and German Peralta.
The Peralta one is particularly nice tbh. Would be great if we could get him drawing Darkhawk in the spotlight/in action
Imperial Guardians is a 5 issue mini now. I don't think that was originally stated. And Exiles hasn't even been solicited yet despite being teased for January/February.
I feel like something major changed. Might explain why there's nothing on Phoenix either.
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
It's hard to get excited or invested in new Marvel comics when you're lucky if a series even reaches 10 issues. Imperial Guardians has already been demoted to a 5 issue mini from an ongoing and issue 1 hasn't even dropped.
Put some respect on the 'hawk's name.
If i remember right theres a version where its Masque's face reflected in his mask too
Smashed it Jon!
Ya boy Darkhawk getting name dropped in the March 2026 solicits.
We already knew he was going to be a member of the Imperial Guardians, but it's nice to see he's clearly going to have some key plot points too
Jon cooked with this one!
There came a day where screen time died and all the old gods returned.
Over on Instagram, @sommariva.bsky.social is doing the lord's work with this Darkhawk sketch!
Oops! Well it's a great cover anyway :)
Ha! Good one
Someone sent me this today π€£π€£
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
Darkhawk on a team written by Dan Abnett?
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

DAY 8: TOAD
DARKHAWK #19
My favorite era of Toad was when he led his own Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in the 90's, so here's a Cover featuring them plus Darkhawk, Spider-Man, and Portal! It's like it was made for me!
