Description

A new team of cosmic powerhouses guards the galaxy!

The epic THANOS: IMPERATIVE conflict is over, but who and what has survived? What happened to Thanos? What about Lord Mar-Vell and the Cancerverse? Who rules the Kree and the Shi'ar? Who will hold the shattered civilizations of the Marvel Universe together in this bleak new age? As the answers are revealed, an all-star team of heavy hitters forms to face the Dire Wraiths: Annihilators assemble! Silver Surfer, Beta-Ray Bill, Gladiator, Quasar and Ronan join forces -- but when a familiar threat returns with Earth as his beachhead, why are the Avengers standing in the Annihilators' way?! Plus: Fan-favorite Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon and Groot buddy up in high-stakes hijinks!
