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!

Award-winning British author Dan Abnett has been a New York Times best-seller seven times and won the Best Comic Writer award in 2003. He has written more than fifty books — including best-selling Warhammer 40,000 novels and tie-in fiction for Doctor Who, Torchwood and Primeval. He co-created Death’s Head and Knights of Pendragon for Marvel UK in the 1980s, and contributed extensively to the UK’s illustrious 2000AD. He has also written Iron Man, New Mutants, Doctor Strange and Punisher for Marvel, and worked on some of Marvel’s epic cosmic comics including the Annihilation and War of Kings events, and the Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy series. Abnett is also known for his work on major games such as Alien: Isolation and Shadow of Mordor. He has returned to Marvel’s cosmos on Guardians 3000 and Guardians of Infinity.

Andy Lanning is probably best known for his work co-writing Marvel's cosmic characters in Nova, various Annihilation series and Guardians of the Galaxy. During a career spanning decades, his writing credits also include Heroes for Hire, New Mutants and Punisher at Marvel; Resurrection Man, Legion of Superheroes and Superman/Batman at DC Comics; The Authority at WildStorm; and the creator-owned Hypernaturals at BOOM! Along with co-writer Alan Cowsill, he revived Marvel UK’s super heroes in Revolutionary War. Lanning is also a celebrated inker, best known for his work with Phil Jimenez on New X-Men and Amazing Spider-Man. He has worked with a dazzling array of talented artists including Mike McKone (Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man), Dave Gibbons (Secret Service), Mark Bagley (Fearless, Ultimate Spider-Man) and Ivan Reis (Justice League, Aquaman).

In 1993, Tan Eng Huat began his career in Malaysia as a background and cover artist, which led to work with DC Comics on such titles as Doom Patrol, JLA and Batman. His work earned him the 2002 Eisner Award for Most Promising New Talent. Huat made his Marvel debut with the critically acclaimed Silver Surfer: In Thy Name, leading him to the cult-favorite Ghost Rider, as well as runs on Punisher, X-Men: Legacy and two Annihilators limited series.
