Civil War: The Initiative is a one-shot comic book, published by Marvel Comics. An epilogue to Marvel's Civil War event, it promotes newly launched series such as the Mighty Avengers, New Avengers, and Omega Flight, as well as the Warren Ellis reinvention of the Thunderbolts team. The one-shot is written by Brian Michael Bendis and Warren Ellis, with pencil art by Marc Silvestri.

Centered around Iron Man, the story is divided into three segments. In the first segment, mutant Michael Pointer (The Collective), the man who killed the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight, is given a chance to atone for his actions. The second segment (written by Warren Ellis) showcases the Thunderbolts, conscripted supervillains working for the government, in pursuit of unregistered superhumans. The third and final segment shows a meeting between Ms. Marvel, a staunch ally of Iron Man, and Spider-Woman, one of Captain America's Secret Avengers.

In addition to the main story, the comic includes promotional previews for other titles linked to Civil War - Iron Man, Captain America, Mighty Avengers, Omega Flight and Avengers: The Initiative.
