Wolverine finds himself in the middle of an unholy alliance between the Kree and Skrulls in Marvel's newest teaser for Empyre.
The teaser art by Phil Noto features The Watcher looking over a standoff between a Skrull and Kree soldiers. Wolverine stands between the two aliens at the bottom of the teaser, with a Skrull woman's face hovering over his right shoulder and the Kree's Supreme Intelligence hovering over his left shoulder.
The caption found on the teaser reads, "The aftermath of the Kree-Skrull War led to an unholy alliance. The Earth-shattering event of 2020 begins this April!"
Empyre spins out of the events of Marvel's Incoming one-shot, with Young Avenger Hulkling uniting the Kree and Skrull together, with Earth as their new target. The Avengers and Fantastic Four are the main protagonists of Empyre. Before the event debuts in April, Marvel will release a prelude one-shot, Road to Empyre: The Kree/Skrull War, by Robbie Thompson, Mattia de Iulius and Javier Rodriguez. According to the solicitation, the book will explore the origin of the longstanding conflict between the Kree and Skrulls, with the main characters from Thompson's previous Meet the Skrulls miniseries playing a central role.
Empyre #1, by Al Ewing, Dan Slott and Valerio Schiti, goes on sale in April from Marvel Comics.
