The End Of The Marvel Cosmic Universe Is At Hand!
After the explosive ignition, Marvel is proud to present your first look
at The Thanos Imperative #2, written by the master architects of the
Cosmic Universe Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and art by the talented
Miguel Sepulveda. A rival universe where life is the ultimate curse--and
reality is determined by twisted, monolithic gods--is gouging into our
own! The heavy hitters of the Marvel Cosmic Universe have been brought
together to ensure the safety of the cosmos, but is it enough? Marvel is
also pleased to announce that The Thanos Imperative: Ignition #1 and The
Thanos Imperative #1 have sold out at Diamond (though copies may still
be available at the retail level) and will return with The Thanos
Imperative: Ignition #1 Second Printing Variant and The Thanos
Imperative #1 Second Printing Variant!
Fans and critics cannot get enough of this sprawling space-odyssey.
"If you've never dipped into the cosmic realm of Marvel, now is a
perfect time. Abnett and Lanning are producing another fine outing for
their cosmic heroes, and this time they have Thanos in tow." - Tyler
Parker, IGN.com
"It's large, loud, filled with humor, and defies expectations. In the
tradition of Guardians of the Galaxy and Nova before it, The Thanos
Imperative is a fun ride that delivers." - Nick Bartocci,
BrokenFrontier.com
"The Thanos Imperative' looks to be one of the most enjoyable reading
experiences of the year; it's a summer blockbuster backed by humor and
characters I actually care about." - Troy Brownfield, Newsarama.com
"Like much of their work for the cosmic line, the duo delivers here with
a surprising, action-packed issue that sets the stakes high and presents
a seemingly unstoppable foe." - Chad Nevitt, ComicBookResources.com
"Writers Abnett and Lanning, architects of all things galactic, do an
outstanding job of bringing new readers up to speed and setting up what
should be one hell of a ride." -Ben Johnson, Mania.com
A war has ignited which will combine the galaxy's most dedicated
warriors with a collection of heroes that you never saw coming! Editor
Bill Rosemann adds, "Even if you haven't been part of the fun so far,
The Thanos Imperative: Ignition #1 and The Thanos Imperative #1 deliver
everything you need to know to hop onboard this last crazy ride. The
Silver Surfer, Nova, Gladiator, Quasar, the Guardians of the Galaxy,
Galactus, the Inhumans, Lord Mar-Vell & the Revengers...DnA and Miguel
Sepulveda are pulling out all the stops! Join us...or risk the wrath of
The Mad Titan!" Will these battle-hardened heroes be able to overcome to
cosmic forces of evil? Find out the answers in The Thanos Imperative!
