Empire - Summer 2018 issue

You’ve seen the Rob Liefeld-illustrated Deadpool subscribers cover, and the Merc with a Mouth can also be found on the newsstand cover — but it’s not just him. Jurassic World is about to make a massive comeback in Fallen Kingdom, and Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady is on our front page alongside his long-term BFF Blue (yes, the velociraptor). Both feature in our massive movie preview, on top of the likes of Mission: Impossible 6, Ocean’s 8, Incredibles 2, and plenty more. With Lando Calrissian about to re-stake his claim as the coolest man in the galaxy in Solo: A Star Wars Story, we’ve also got the original icon Billy Dee Williams on the cover.

There’s tons more inside to discover — and more on that soon. For now, you’ve got two days to get ready before venturing to your local newsagent to pick up the Summer Movie Blowout issue when it lands on Thursday 17 May. Oh, and don’t forget about the very limited Deadpool Talking Cover special edition, which is out on the same date — and you can read all about right here.
