In this review, it’s noted that Hickman is one of the top sci-fi writers in comics and his talent is evident in this issue from the beginning. However, the story is somewhat confusing due to the numerous alien empires involved in a war, creating a chaotic battle scene. Hickman excels at portraying large-scale space action, making the chaos feel real and setting the tone for the battle. The issue’s main flaw is that there’s too much happening for such a fast-paced story, making it challenging to follow. While this fits with the promised sci-fi action in Imperial, it can be overwhelming. Furthermore, a brief fight between Black Panther and Hulk is included, but it doesn’t receive enough attention to reach its full potential as an entertaining moment. In summary, the issue is action-packed but may leave readers feeling a bit disoriented due to the complexity of the battle and the lack of focus on some key elements.
