The Thanos Imperative is a six-issue comic book limited series published in 2010 by Marvel Comics. It was written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, and was bookended by two one-shot comics, Ignition and Devastation. The story focuses on the cosmic heroes of the Marvel Universe, who band together to combat the imminent threat of the Fault (a rift in space-time formed at the end of "War of Kings") and the Cancerverse (a universe where death itself is extinct) that lies beyond it.
