Hulkling takes the throne in Marvel’s Empyre #1 variant cover

February 27, 2020 by Gary Collinson

With the huge Avengers and Fantastic Four epic Empyre set to get underway this April, Marvel has unveiled a variant cover for the first issue of the event series from artist Jamie McKelvie, which sees the character of Hulking taking the throne of the new Kree/Skrull alliance; check it out here…

With a Skrull soldier on his right and a Kree soldier on his left, Hulkling takes his rightful place as the Emperor of the new Kree/Skrull alliance on superstar artist Jamie McKelvie’s variant cover for Empyre #1. Born to a Kree father and a Skrull mother, the young hero has fulfilled his destiny by putting an end to a millennia-long conflict and uniting the galaxy’s two largest armies. Equipped with a powerful sword and leading the greatest armada the universe has ever seen, the new Emperor is ready to take on whatever obstacles are in his path as he makes his way to Earth. Will the Avengers and Fantastic Four dare to get in his way?

Empyre #1 will go on sale on April 15th.
