This issue mainly continues the plotlines of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #150 plus an extra element from INFINITY COUNTDOWN PRIME.But we start with a flashback to an unidentified new participant who has kidnapped a Dwarf metalsmith from Nidavellir (1 of the Asgardian 9 Realms) and ordered him to make some armour. The Dwarf says they'll kill him for making *that*.Now we look in on the planetoid Xitaung where a troop of Nova Corps led by Eve Bakian are hiding the way-oversized Power Stone. But the Fraternity of Raptors have heard about it (GotG#150) and sent a fleet to take it from them.. And they're jamming comms so the Novas can't signal for backup. But they already have *some* backup. Drax has given up his Destroying ways and left the Guardians of the Galaxy in #150 to help defend this place.He's sitting on top of the Stone when Raptor missiles blow him off it. Talonar leads 2 other flying Raptors in to steal it but they're shocked at the size of it. Talonar suggests they could cut it up and give pieces to all their troops - it would make them invincible. Eve Bakian orders them to leave, and Talonar gets a 2nd shock when he sees she's pregnant. She blasts him with Nova Force and Drax throws him out of the building. Then Drax plans to go out and use a Raptor communicator to transmit their request for help.Our 3rd stop is the planet Telferina where huge clones of the Guardian Groot are running amok. The Guardians (including our sapling Groot) and Nova (Richard Ryder) are fighting them and looking for their controller the Elder of the Universe the Gardener. Star-Lord picks the strangest time to try to tell Gamora, who is searching for the Infinity Stones, that he's known for a while where the Power Stone is. But he's interrupted by the arrival of the guy they're looking for.This subplot has been building all through the All-New GotG and the GotG Legacy issues. Gardener created this planet as a wonder of plant-life but then sentient animal life arrived and ruined it. Loki caused Gardener to go mad because he wouldn't tell the Asgardian where the Soul Stone was, and this madness caused Gardener to reclaim his planet. He turned Groot into splinters and took all but 1 of them to grow into the giant sentient trees. (Groot's pal Rocket Raccoon regrew Groot from the other splinter.)Rocket now jetpacks towards Gardener with 1 of his trademark big guns, blasting his way through the odd tree. But the Elder plucks him out of the air and discards the gun. So Rocket stabs him in the cheek. But Gardener is unfazed and starts to strangle him.Now back to Drax who has downed 2 Raptors and stolen 1 of them's wings. But they don't enable him to fly. The Raptor says they'll only work for *him* so Drax stamps on his head to shut him up and reconsiders his plan. Next thing we see is Drax in midair riding on the back of another Raptor and holding another 1 over his head. Their combined wingpower is enough to bring him crashing into the control room of a Raptor spaceship. He tries to use the ship's comms but finds *that* doesn't work for him either. A Raptor helpfully tells him that they upgraded their security to use DNA checks since the Guardians stole a Raptor ship (in GotG's Free Comic Book Day 2017 issue). So angry Drax throws the comms bank at him.But then Drax hears a voice in his head. It's Quinon the female alien he rescued in GotG#148. Ultron had attacked her people but his infection had the side-effect of making them telepathic and thus able to resist him. She established a mental connection with Drax and can't ignore him when he gets angry. Now she listens to the situation and promises to alert the Nova Corps and the Guardians.Talonar confronts Drax who warns him to retreat because help is on the way. The Raptor doesn't believe him until Drax points to some spaceships arriving overhead. But then they both realise these aren't Novas or Guardians. They're Chitauri led by Warbringer, who also learned about the Power Stone in GotG#150. The lead Leviathan living spaceship crunches the Raptor vessel in its jaws as Drax asks Quinon if she knows any Asgardians.Meanwhile Raptors have captured all the Nova Corps on Xitaung and are about to execute them when a chunk of the destroyed vessel lands on the Raptors and Drax walks out of the wreckage. He tells the Novas that they only need to defend the place until help arrives. Eve Bakian blasts a trench and the Novas use it to shoot from.The Guardians are still fighting the trees on Telferina, and Ant-Man (Scott Lang) continues to crack wise. They retreat to their ship (the stolen Raptor ship Milano) and call Nova HQ for help. But Scott Adsit tells them about Drax and the Power Stone (which gets confused Gamora angry). All the Nova Corps resources are being committed there - the Guardians are on their own.The team now find themselves facing a particularly large tree that calls itself Scar. They dodge past it to get to Gardener and Rocket. Star-Lord throws little Groot at the Elder. And when he gets closer Groot throws even-littler Ant-Man who kicks him in the face (dislodging Rocket's knife). Groot grabs Rocket's gun and blasts Gardener's feet just as Star-Lord shoots him in the head. Gamora tries to cut the head off, saying it worked for Contemplator (though how she knows about this event which happened elsewhere in IC Prime I don't know). But it doesn't work so Nova rockets into him. And then Rocket shoots him.That doesn't work either so Groot takes a direct hand. He jumps on Gardener's prone body and starts an "I am Groot" conversation. The Elder reluctantly agrees that Groot is 1 of his children and he's done him wrong. (After he stole Groot's splinters Groot was unable to grow beyond his sapling state.) Then Groot sends out tendrils which infiltrate Gardener's body and suck out Loki's poison, and the madness it caused. Groot is now poisoned but the sane Gardener works his magic and Groot is cured and becomes his huge proper self.Gardener says he's restored him to his original form (as seen in Tales to Astonish #13) so Groot can also now converse properly and he invites his friends to join him in smiting the enemy trees. We leave him squaring up against Scar.But what about the extra bit from IC Prime? It occurs in an epilogue with Black Widow (actually the clone with her memories revealed in the recent short Legacy run of Tales of Suspense) in Madripoor. She's still letting most of the world thinks she's dead (since Secret Empire) but she sees a sign for her to check a dead drop known only to Wolverine (who *she* thinks is dead) and Captain America (busy on his post-Secret Empire apology tour of the US). She finds a message from Wolverine asking her to look after the Space Stone (which he got hold of in the Marvel Legacy 1-shot).

In the opening 1-page flashback the unnamed captive dwarf is still forging a weapon for his unnamed sinister master.On Telferina the Guardians of the Galaxy (Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Gamora, Groot, Nova (Richard Ryder), Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord) are still battling the big living trees that Gardener unleashed on that world. Well actually Gardener's madness was cured by Groot last issue and most of the trees seem to have left with him. And little Groot was restored to his full tree size by the grateful Elder of the Universe (who also radically extended Groot's vocabulary). However there's still 1 tree on the rampage named Scar, and he's *enormous*.Groot leaps to the attack but Scar swallows him. However the meal disagrees with Scar and he vomits up a stream of ... flowers. The big tree collapses dead and Groot emerges victorious from the flower bath.But there's no rest for the Guardians as now they'll have to respond to Drax's call for help defending the Power Stone. Gamora is miffed that Peter Quill never told her that he knew where the Power Stone is when he knows she's looking for the Infinity Stones. Star-Lord counters that *she* really only wants the Soul Gem, and that the Power Stone is too big to move - like a small hill. Still bickering they set of in the starship Milano, heading for ...... Xitaung where Drax and Eve Bakian and her Nova Corps squad are holding off the Fraternity of Raptors and the Chitauri (who are also helpfully fighting each other over possession of the Power Stone). Plus pregnant Eve is desperately holding off giving birth. And then Galactus arrives.But his comments alert us that this isn't the real Devourer of Worlds (and anyway Big G has now changed his ways and is known as the Lifebringer). The huge alien falls from the sky and breaks into pieces. And out of the disintegrating head bursts Rocket with multiple big guns a-blazing.The Chitauri warlord Warbringer is standing atop his Leviathan flagship when the other GotG'ers 'sneak up' on him in the Milano. Except he turns round and gives them a blast from his war-axe which breaks the ship in 2. Nova enclose himself and Gamora in a force bubble, and tiny Ant-Man clings to Gamora's ear. When they reach the ground Nova sends the other 2 towards the Power Stone which Scott thinks he can shrink. Richard himself has scores to settle.The Raptor warrior Talonar is in 1-on-1 combat with Warbringer. Nova attacks Warbringer shouting "Murderer". (Rich Ryder's personal animosity here may stem from things Sam Alexander (Nova) may have told him after rescuing him from the Cancerverse in the 2017 Nova series. Things from the previous 2 Nova series like trying to bomb Earth with asteroids and being involved in Sam's father's (probable) death.) But then Talonar blasts Nova to the ground.However the Raptor then ceases hostilities and asks if Nova is Richard Rider. He removes his own helmet to reveal Rich's younger brother Robbie Rider. Both of them exclaim that they thought the other was dead. Richard explains that since he escaped the Cancerverse he's been looking for Robbie, who complains that after the Cancerverse incident the Nova Force had gone and he was stranded on a desolate planet. (Later the Raptors found him and brainwashed him. His actual title is Talon-R.) But Warbringer breaks up this 'brotherly' reunion by attacking them both.Nova Commander Scott Adsit presumably got here with reinforcements since last issue. But he's glad to see Gamora and Ant-Man join the fight. And they're glad to see Groot and Star-Lord survived the destruction of the Milano. Drax is glad to see Groot grown up. Ant-Man leaps onto the Power Stone and tries to shrink it, but it doesn't work. And Eve gives birth to a girl.Gamora tries to give her 'comforting' words. She says her parents died soon after she was born, and she was brought up by Thanos. It would have been better if she never lived. She gives Eve a sword and tells her not to let the baby be taken alive. Eve says she doesn't plan on either of them dying.As we scan the battlefield we get a voiceover from Adam Warlock which says that the universe will end in a war over the Infinity Stones and they're all going to die. But on the plus side he might be able to prevent it. In a direct continuation of a scene from Infinity Countdown Prime he breaks out of the Pyramid where Kang/Rama Tut hid him in suspended animation in Ancient Egypt (in IC: Adam Warlock), as a way of sneaking up on his evil side Magus in the present day. And K/RT told him where to find Magus and the Soul Gem on the planet Saiph. In return Kang wants the Time Stone, to keep safe from those who seek to unite the Infinity Stones but also to solidify his grip as Master of Time.But when Adam gets to Saiph he finds it occupied by Ultron-infected aliens. (We saw in IC Prime that Ultron killed Magus and took the Soul Gem.) The aliens attack him intending to infect him, but a burst of energy destroys them all. The head of 1 alien directs him to the capital city Ultron has made his own. On the way he passes fields of space-rockets filled with Ultron virus.But when Warlock gets there he finds Ultron busy converting Silver Surfer.

The usual 1-page flashback shows the mystery figure (allegedly the Requiem mentioned last issue) killing the Asgardian dwarf after he makes him/her a sword to go with the armour.Next scene:- Henry Pym and the Gamora-fragment in Soul World. Hank continues to search for a way out but Gamora tells him they'll have to wait for the door to the Soul Gem to be opened from the outside. But he finds a piece of PymTech equipment buried in the sand, and takes it back to a giant Ultron-helmet he's using as a base. With the stuff he's found he has built a communicator and broadcast a Mayday to the Avengers, and now he gets a response. He ignores Gamora's cryptic warnings.Next scene:- Doctor Strange is studying something when Black Widow appears before him, signals him to keep quiet and hands him a note which tells him she has an Infinity Stone (the Space Stone which allowed her to teleport here) but she thinks someone is listening via it. Strange strikes a crystal with a tuning fork ...... and follows a mystic trail to where Turk Barrett is standing on a sidewalk. He easily fends off Turk's mental compulsion and warns him that possessing the Mind Stone will put him in danger. Turk warns *him* not to underestimate him just because he used to be Stilt-Man. Which is funny news to Stephen Strange. But Turk points to 3 people he's compelled to stand on the edge of a tall building. He makes them jump and by the time Strange has saved them Turk is gone and has hidden himself from DrS's mind.Strange returns to his Sanctum Sanctorum and tells Natasha Romanoff he's got the place guarded against spies. She asks him to take the Space Stone into his safe-keeping. But Stephen unveils a magically hidden safe and shows her another Infinity Stone (the Time Stone) inside. He tells her it's not wise to keep Stones together, and advises her to leave and not tell him where she's going. Widow agrees.Next scene:- The Guardians Of The Galaxy arrive on Oblitus, a cobbled-together space station where Star-Lord knows a safehouse. He figured it wasn't safe to keep the Power Stone on Knowhere since last issue even people from another timeline knew they were there. (Strictly speaking those people came for their timeline's Reality Stone which some Elders of the Universe had on Knowhere.) Peter Quill is carrying the Stone in a special container. (Drax must have given it back to him after last issue.)But coming here to hide fails immediately as they are greeted by Adam Warlock who claims to have known they were coming. And Rocket Raccoon's nose senses he's not alone. Gamora's sword strikes to where *she* senses someone else, and Kang the Conqueror decloaks. Warlock says they heard how the Guardians gained the Power Stone and hoped they might know where the Time Stone is. He'd made a deal with Kang - Kang helped him (by enabling him to sneak up on Thanos from the deep past in Infinity Countdown: Adam Warlock) and now he's returning the favour by helping him find the Time Stone. Adam makes the (dodgy) argument that the Master of Time is best-placed to protect the Time Stone.Gamora is more interested in whether Adam has regained his Soul Gem. She desperately wants to rescue her soul fragment. Warlock admits he has it (taken from Ultron last issue) but claims he can't open it now, and he doesn't think anyone should. She reacts badly and tries to take it from him. Adam repels her attack and Kang keeps the others at bay. But Drax sneaks round and knocks Adam down. The Gem falls from his grasp and Drax picks it up ... and sees a vision of heroes impaled on the branches of a huge tree similar to the 1 Kang showed Warlock in IC:AW.Now it's Drax's turn to drop the Soul Gem. Gamora leaps towards it but Drax bats her away, saying his vision has convinced him that Warlock is right - Soul World must remain closed. Adam retrieves his Gem, and he and Kang leave to resume their search for the Time Stone. Drax elects to leave the Guardians and go with them because he can't support Gamora's quest. Groot, Rocket and Star-Lord refuse to help her too so Gamora walks out on them to do it alone.Back in Soul World:- A portal opens and Pym steps through to meet an assembly of his friends. But *we* are shown the reality as a tentacled monster is about to devour him. We hear the crunch as the aged Gamora fragment walks away saying that Soul World has given him what he wanted - a way out.Back in Dr Strange's Sanctum he uses the Time Stone to contact the other holders of the Infinity Stones:- Turk's Mind Stone, Captain Marvel's Reality Stone, Peter Quill's Power Stone, Warlock's Soul Gem and Widow's Space Stone. He calls them the new Infinity Watch and calls them to a meeting in Central Park at midnight tomorrow. They must plan to safeguard the Stones from an imminent danger.And we see that danger is Thanos on his throne on Chitauri-Prime.That's the end of Infinity Countdown but this story will continue in Infinity Wars Prime and then the Infinity Wars series.The bulk of this series' tie-ins have been published since last issue:-Dr Strange #3This is cover-bannered as an Infinity *Wars* tie-in but it definitely takes place before this issue because Strange gets hold of the Time Stone within it.In this 'Sorceror Supreme of the Galaxy' story arc DrS is travelling through space to get his magic mojo back. In this issue he finds a Skrull thaumaturgist trying to unlock the secrets of the Time Stone for his master the Super-Skrull (who found it in IC: Prime). Strange grabs the Stone and uses it to defeat Super-Skrull.Not only must this issue occur before the current issue but so must the rest of the space-travel arc which continues until at least #5.IC: Black Widow 1-shotBW has the Space Stone (left to her in our #1 by Wolverine who got it in Marvel Legacy). She's now in London under attack by ensorcelled minions of Captain Britain's mad brother Jamie Braddock who's after the Stone. She defeats him with the aid of Merlin who delivers her to New York advising her to consult Dr Strange - leading straight into this issue.IC: Champions #1-2The team (minus their Hulk and Spider-Man) go into space to help Nova (Sam Alexander) hunt down the Chitauri Warbringer. But this leads them to stop him and his army from killing all the Chitauri on Chitauri-Prime, who are now loyal to Thanos. Thanos 'rewards' them by destroying Riri Williams' Stark-tech Ironheart armour. And the Nova Corps reclaim Nova's helmet which gives him his powers.IC: Darkhawk #2-4Chris Powell makes a deal with bounty hunter Death's Head. He will allow Death's Head to take him into space as the Darkhawk Razor to the Fraternity of Raptors to collect his bounty, and Death's Head will leave him there to 'deal' with them. But the Android Raptors have killed the human Fraternity and have other plans. They capture Darkhawk and rip out his amulet which Talonar/Robbie Rider combines with his Nega Bands to become the Raptor's god Dark Starhawk.Chris Powell survives as Darkhawk but without the amulet can't transform to human. He teams up with Death's Head and the soul of Razor to become a more powerful giant-size Darkhawk. They stop Starhawk and the Raptors from attacking Earth. They clash with Nova (Richard Rider) wants to save his brother Robbie. It all ends with Starhawk destroyed and Robbie Rider back in human form. Darkhawk rips his amulet away from Robbie who uses his Nega Bands to commit suicide, or maybe escape. Nova blames Chris for what's happened.The issue ends with Chris's old ally Sleepwalker appearing to him in a dream and saying *he* must become a Sleepwalker to protect the universe from the Infinity Stones. The story will continue in Infinity Wars: Sleepwalker.

In the opening flashback page the mystery villain is still holding the Asgardian Dwarf prisoner and forcing him to make something.Last issue Adam Warlock came to the planet Saiph looking for the Soul Gem. He found the planet occupied by aliens infected with the Ultron Virus and the Gem in the possession of Ultron himself. And the insane robot has been converting Silver Surfer to his cause. He orders the Surfer to kill Warlock, but the reprogramming doesn't seem to have taken yet.Warlock attacks Ultron and tries to get the Infinity Stone off him. But Ultron just taunts him with how easy it was to get the Gem from Adam's evil half Magus, and then blasts him out of the building. This gives the robot villain time to use the Soul Gem to bombard Silver Surfer with the voices of the trillions of victims who died when he was the Herald of Galactus. This tips Surfer over the edge and he lashes out at Warlock when he returns.But Norrin Radd still has enough willpower left to apologise even as he hits Adam. So Ultron unleashes the Soul Gem on him again. While Surfer writhes in mental agony Warlock punches Ultron. But Ultron gloats that the rockets seemingly covering the surface of this world will soon spread his Virus throughout the Galaxy. So it's Adam's turn to knock *him* out of the building.He now turns to the suffering Surfer who begs Warlock to kill him before Ultron gets control of his Power Cosmic. But then Ultron's voice issues from Surfer's mouth saying it's too late. Adam touches Norrin's brow and encases him in his own regenerative cocoon to heal. Ultron returns and accuses Adam of killing Surfer. Warlock punches his staff through the robot's chest, without much effect. And Surfer is reborn  from the cocoon immediately, all sign of Ultron features gone.Adam welcomes him back. Between the 2 of them they should be able to deal with Ultron and retrieve the Soul Gem. But when Surfer regains his Board he just flies away. And gloating Ultron launches his rockets.We'll leave things there and switch to the Guardians of the Galaxy on Xitaung. Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord are taking a breather from killing Chitauri and members of the Fraternity of Raptors while newly-embiggened Groot battles on. Gamora uses his head as a springboard to reach some flying Raptors, and tells Groot to concentrate on the Chitauri leader Warbringer.Warbringer exhorts his troops and advises the defending GotG and Nova Corps to leave the planet. He intends to take the hill-sized Power Stone and use it to free the Chitauri homeworld from Thanos. Against the advise of Drax, Ant-Man shouts defiance back at him. But gets hit by a blast which sends him miniaturised and unconscious to land on a Nova Corpsman being evacuated injured from the field of battle.Nova Commander Scott Adsit is going to evacuate his troops from the planet and leave the Chitauri and Raptors to fight *each other* over the giant-sized Infinity Stone. Hopefully the Novas can then defeat the surviving winners. Gamora doesn't believe in retreat but Star-Lord agrees it's the wisest option, but only for the Corps. However Nova Centurion Eve Bakian, with her new-born baby in a force field, thinks the Nova shuttlecraft will be an easy target. The other Novas board the shuttle (with Ant-Man included) as the Guardians provide covering fire.There's another Nova still on the planet. Last issue Richard Rider and Talonar of the Raptors were assaulted by Warbringer. This was just after Nova discovered that Talonar was his long-missing younger brother Robbie Rider. Now Rich finds Robbie with his back broken by the attack. Robbie begs Rich not to let Warbringer get the Power Stone. He tells his brother about the virtual reality simulation the Raptors brainwashed him in. But he has detected evidence that *this* reality is also a simulation. As such the size of the Power Stone can be adjusted - by mind over matter. Then Raptors come and take Talonar away.The Guardians have their backs to the wall. Rocket's run out of ammo. Gamora expects to die and wonders what will happen to the part of her trapped in the Soul Gem. Drax wishes he'd played his saxophone more often, and Star-Lord mentions the Earth custom of an instrument-player accompanying soldiers into battle. So Drax gets out his sax, which he conveniently has with him, and starts to play. Even the Chitauri pause to listen.Nova (RR) arrives with the simulation idea, and that the size of the Power Stone is a mistake in programming. Peter Quill tries the mind over matter theory and it works! The Stone now fits in his hand. Warbringer launches an attack and Star-Lord blasts him away. Then he tosses the Stone into Drax's sax, and the Destroyer plays a cosmic tune which starts to tear the planetoid apart. Then Drax throws the Stone to Nova who combines it with the Nova Force to give them a giant force-bubble and the propulsive power to take them (including Eve and child) into space.This issue's epilogue is Silver Surfer confronting his old master Galactus, now converted from Devourer of Worlds to Lifebringer. But he asks him to return to his old ways 1 last time to devour Saiph and stop the menace of Ultron.

This is the 2nd issue in the Infinity Countdown sequence continuing from IC: ADAM WARLOCK.The IC sequence continues the storyline from GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #150. There Adam Warlock was resurrected by Kang the Conqueror in the far future, and in IC:AW he was sent back in time to confront Thanos in the present (via Ancient Egypt). Meanwhile in GotG#150 The Guardians had found the Power Stone and were looking for the other Infinity Stones.This issue assembles all the players and lets us know where all the Infinity Stones are.Our 1st stop is the Canadian wilderness where Wolverine is attacked by 5 Ultron-infected aliens because he has the blue Space Stone (which he got in the Marvel Legacy 1-shot after his own resurrection). Logan easily beats them, especially with the added teleportation ability the Stone gives him.But then he's accosted by Loki who slashes his face with a knife just to check that he's the real self-healing deal. So Wolverine slams a claw up through Loki's jaw and pulls out an eyeball - just to check if Loki's really a god. The Asgardian binds up his eye-socket and offers to take the Infinity Stone off Logan's hands. He claims that more threats like Ultron are after the Stones and it will only endanger Earth and people Logan cares for. And whoever gets them all could endanger the whole multiverse. Logan agrees that he's not the best person to hold a Stone but he's certainly better than Loki. And if any other Stone-wielders come after him he'll just take theirs off them. And he teleports away from the Trickster God.There's another Infinity Stone on Earth. Turk Barrett walks into a casino with the yellow Mind Stone atop his walking cane. He is confidant of winning at blackjack because the Stone's gift of telepathy tells him what cards the dealer has and Stone-enhanced intelligence helps him gauge the odds. (It shouldn't allow him to predict cards.)The 3rd Stone, red for Reality, is just off Earth in space in the hand of Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) who found it in alternate reality Earth-Zeta in her Legacy issues #125-129. But we also see Reality Stones in the hands of alternate-reality versions of the Monica Rambeau and Mar-Vell Captain Marvels. (And a hint of the Captain Marvel of DC and previously Fawcett Comics.)The purple Power Stone has featured in the Legacy issues of GotG (#146-150). It is the size of a (small) mountain and is guarded by the Nova Corps on a secluded planetoid, but the Chitauri and the Fraternity of Raptors are coming to take it. Meanwhile the Guardians of the Galaxy are in the Nova Corps HQ the Rock. Star-Lord wants them to go to Telferina where giant trees cloned from Groot by the Gardener are killing people, but Gamora wants them to go seeking the Soul Stone to free a fragment of herself trapped in it. (This takes place just before the end of GotG#150 because they head for Telferina but drop Drax off to help guard the Power Stone on the way.)There is an unidentified voiceover throwing in bits of narration. At this point it tells us that it doesn't know where the Time Stone is, but there are places where things are not what they should be and they seem likely places to look.1 such place is the planet Sakaar (which was destroyed by Galactus in the pre-Secret Wars III universe). It was seen back in the new universe when Hulk (Amadeus Cho) went there in #709-713 of his Legacy series. (Of course Sakaar is where Hulk (Bruce Banner) was exiled to before Civil War I.) A last page epilogue to #713 showed Super-Skrull finding the Time Stone deep inside the planet. That scene is expanded on here where he swears to use it to restore the status of the Skrull Empire.Next we get a replay of the end of IC: Adam Warlock as Adam bursts free of the Egyptian sarcophagus where he was placed in suspended animation by Kang's earlier identity Pharaoh Rama-Tut.Then we see Thanos ruling over the Chitauri homeworld ...... and we learn that the voiceover is the severed head of the Elder of the Universe Contemplator talking to Magus, Warlock's evil self on the surface of Ego the Living Planet. Magus has forced Contemplator to find the Soul Gem for him (on Ego). (Is it significant that they refer to the Gem rather than the Soul Stone?) But the Elder now says he made sure others could track them. And now Ultron/Hank Pym sneaks up behind Magus and punches his heart out.Contemplator warns Ultron not to touch the Gem but of course the robot ignores him. A shock sends him reeling when he picks 1st it up, but then he can handle it easily and he rewards the Elder by disintegrating the head. (But Elders don't die that easily.)But Henry Pym's soul finds itself detached from Ultron and inside the Soul Gem where he is greeted by the aged fragment of Gamora (as seen in recent issues of GotG).Follow Turk and the Mind Stone in IC: Daredevil, Carol Danvers and the other Captain Marvels with the Reality Stone(s) in IC: Captain Marvel, Super-Skrull and the Time Stone in Dr Strange #3, and everybody else in IC #1.This story is followed by a potted history of the Infinity Stones.An omnipotent being in the 7th Cosmos became 6 gems in the 8th Cosmos, which contained Marvel Comics history up to Secret Wars III. Initially they were known as the Soul Gems. The High Evolutionary had 1 which he gave to Adam Warlock to defend his creation Counter-Earth. Later Thanos gathered the 6 together and was going to use their energy to destroy all the stars in the universe for his lover Death. But Warlock and the Avengers killed him, and Warlock died too - his soul joining Gamora and others in his Soul Gem.Some of the Elders of the Universe located the Gems. But Death resurrected Thanos, who learned that the 6 Gems were the Infinity Gems - each with a different power. He took them from the Elders and put them in the Infinity Gauntlet. He used them to kill half the beings in the universe for Death. Then he ascended to godhood leaving his body behind. But this allowed Nebula, his alleged grandaughter (in the Comics universe) to take the Gauntlet and bring everyone back to life (and Thanos back to his body). However Warlock and Gamora had been resurrected too, and Adam took the Gauntlet for himself.Adam got rid of both his good and evil sides in order to be an objective wielder of the Gems. But the Living Tribunal wasn't satisfied and decreed that the gems should be entrusted to a 6 member group the Infinity Watch. Warlock and Gamora were 2 of them, and the 6th was Thanos who had renounced his lust for power. Warlock's evil side manifested as the Magus who used Cosmic Cubes to try to get the Infinity Gems. He was defeated by Warlock and allies including Thanos in the 1st Infinity War. (And Adam's good side became Goddess in the Infinity Crusade which didn't involve the Gems.)Later the Gems were scattered again until the secret Illuminati (Black Bolt, Dr Strange, Iron Man, Mr Fantastic, Prof X and Sub-Mariner) located them and each hid 1. But the Hood found them and the Illuminati had to reveal themselves to the Avengers in order to defeat him. The Illuminati then pretended to destroy the Gauntlet and Gems, and to disband. But secretly they continued with Captain America replacing Black Bolt and the Gems in their hands again.As the multiverse started to collapse by colliding alternate realities the Illuminati used the Infinity Gems to stop their reality dying in 1 such collision. But 5 of the Gems shattered and the Time Gem disappeared. Later the Time Gem took some Avengers on a tour of the future and then it too self-destructed.After the multiverse was destroyed, Secret Wars III ended with the creation of a new multiverse, the 9th Cosmos. The Infinity Gems were recreated and called the Infinity Stones (with swapped colours). Gamora learned that a fragment of her soul still resided in the Soul Gem/Stone from her previous time in there. Her fellow Guardians of the Galaxy helped her look for it and the other Stones.The resurrected Wolverine gained the Space Stone, and the Nova Corps found and guarded the giant Power Stone. Captain Marvel and Super-Skrull found the Reality and Time Stones. And this issue reveals the whereabouts of the Mind and Soul Stones.

(no title given)
The Champions went into space to help their member Nova (Sam Alexander) bring Warbringer of the Chitauri to justice after his attacks on Nova Corps bases. They caught up with him on the Chitauri homeworld which is currently controlled by Thanos. Warbringer had previously sought the Power Stone (in Infinity Countdown #1-3) to help his free Chitauri forces defeat Thanos and win freedom for his captive people. But when that failed he decided on another plan - to kill the captive Chitauri (give them freedom or give them death!). What he found intolerable was that Thanos didn't use the fierce Chitauri warriors to attack other planets - he just kept them hanging around.Thanos wasn't bothered about the fate of the Chitauri but the Champions couldn't just stand by and watch genocide. So they are now fighting Warbringer's Chitauri army and his Leviathan living spaceships to save Thanos' Chitauri army, who won't fight back unless Thanos tells them to.While Nova tackles his foe Warbringer directly Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) and Snowguard (Amka Aliyak) fight the troops. Snowguard's mix'n'match animal shapeshifting allows her to grow wings as well as animal claws. But her wings get damaged by weapon fire so she retracts them. Giant-size Ms Marvel catches her in midair and tosses her at another bunch of Chitauri soldiers where her slashing claws can continue to do damage. Ironheart (Riri Williams), Viv Vision and Wasp (Nadia Pym) are dealing with the warships. Wasp shrinks some while Ironheart and Viv blast others. But Riri's armour is taking damage.As Nova battles Warbringer he realises something about Chitauri psychology. Just as the warriors on the planet will only fight if Thanos tells them to, Warbringer's army only obeys *him*. If the Champs take Warbringer out of the picture his forces will stop fighting. So he calls the others to change tactics. Giant Ms Marvel stamps on Warbringer. Then Nova takes him into the sky where Ironheart and Viv Vision combine firepower with his Nova blast. Nova throws the foe to the ground in unconscious defeat. And as 'the winner' he successfully orders hostilities to cease.Thanos laughs at the sight of heroes technically fighting and winning for *him*. Riri Williams sees red and flies to confront him. But the Mad Titan grabs her by the throat and causes her armour to crumble around her. He says he could now kill her, but lets her live as she's been marginally useful and amusing.The team leave the planet with the unconscious captive Warbringer in their Mobile Bunker, again powered by Nova pushing it from outside. They may have achieved their objective but they've still left Thanos in charge of Chitauri-Prime and plotting to destroy the universe. (That last bit seems to be an assumption based on that's what he usually does.)Riri in particular is despondent. She's lost her armour, and anyway it turned out to be useless. Viv tries to cheer her up by pointing out her positive contributions. And anyway she can always create new armour. They agree to work together on that, and Riri has some ideas based on Chitauri armour. (They don't realise they are being watched by the Ultron spy drone we saw last issue.)They deliver Warbringer to Nova Outpost Wheeler-Delta, and Ms Marvel and Wasp hand him over to Nova Commander Scott Adsit. But Adsit wants to know about their member Nova Sam who contacted him last issue. They claim that Sam had to leave them but Scott can detect the presence of his Black Nova helmet - and at the push of a button the helmet brings Sam Alexander to him. Adsit confiscates it as Nova property, and because Sam hasn't had the proper Nova training. Then he uses a matter transmittter to send them and the Mobile Bunker to Earth, where the the rest of Sam's Nova armour dematerialises.

(no title given)
Young Sam Alexander is woken in the middle of the night by his Nova helmet with a distress call from some Nova Corpsmen under attack by Warbringer and the Chitauri. Nova had a previous run-ins with the guy in #29-31 of his 2013 series and All-New, All-Different Avengers #1-3, and knows how ruthlessly destructive he is. Sam immediately suits up. His mother understands his 'job' but can't help being worried. She advises him to call his fellow-Champions to help him.Sam doesn't want to take his friends into this danger but pauses mid-flight to leave a voicemail message with Viv Vision to explain his absence. But synthezoid Viv doesn't sleep so she answers the phone and he has to tell her in person. She mentions that their new recruit (Champions #21) Amka Aliyak is staying with her (at Vision's house) and she'll patch in the other Champs. Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) is awake playing World of Battlecraft. Riri Williams (Ironheart) is doing some engineering stuff. Nadia Pym (Wasp) wasn't awake but is now. Viv explains that Miles Morales (Spider-Man) is still in hospital (in his #240 after injuries fighting (with the Champs) against the Sinister Six in his #239), and she can't get hold of Amadeus Cho (Hulk) (possibly caught up in his Return To Planet Hulk/World War Hulk II story). The others all insist on accompanying him.He rendezvous with them by their Mobile Bunker. (Amka has gained a codename Snowguard.) They discuss how to get into space. Kamala suggests Sam could surround the Bunker with a force field and use his own Nova propulsion to fly them there. So that's what they do. And by the magic of something or other it takes him 16 minutes to get them to their destination Nova Outpost Woodrow-Alpha.But the Nova base is completely destroyed. Little do they know they are being observed by a small device reporting back to Ultron, which is told to follow them. Sam picks up a communication to the site from Nova Commander Scott Adsit at the Rock HQ. Nova has to admit he's not actually a member of Adsit's rebuilt Nova Corps, and disobeys his order to report to base.Ironheart detects an energy signature they can use to trail Warbringer, and they're off again. Soon they meet Warbringer's Leviathan spaceship above Chitauri Prime. Nova stops propelling the Mobile Bunker and rockets off for a solo attack. Warbringer recognises him and comes out to meet him, and after a brief fights hurls him down to the planet.Warbringer ignores the Champions' 'spaceship' in favour of attacking his homeworld. The Champs take the Bunker down (under its own power) to find their teammate. What they *do* find is hordes of supposedly-warlike Chitauri kneeling silently. An aged Chitauri tells them that the warriors now serve Thanos and can do nothing without his command. As Amka finds Sam the old Chitauri goes to tell Thanos about them. But the arrival of Warbringer and his Leviathan is a bigger concern.Warbringer is angry that Thanos has captured the Chitauri homeworld. But he's even more angry that Thanos isn't using the great Chitauri army to *attack* anybody. Thanos asks if he's here to kill him and free his people. But Warbringer says attacking Thanos would be futile - Thanos would destroy him in an instant. So instead he's going to kill all the enslaved Chitauri to restore honour to the race. Thanos doesn't care about that.Warbringer begins his slaughter. The Champs are horrified because the Chiauri won't fight back. Ironheart and Snowguard favour getting out while they can. Ms Marvel and Nova can't let Warbringer do it. And the team unite to save the bad guys.

Holy war
Last issue the unbeliever heroes approached Goddess' Paradise Omega planet as part of Thanos' overall plan. But Thor wrecked their 2 quinjets and the heroes are now descending to the planet in pairs in escape pods. And Goddess' spokes-priestess Moondragon (of the Infinity Watch) has deployed the believers in pairs to meet them. Drax the Destroyer (also of the Infinity Watch) and Hulk (with a jetpack) accosted Thor in space. Drax is still fighting the Thunder God but Hulk's jetpack was damaged and he's now falling towards the planet, and running out of air. Thanos asked 1 escape pod to stay in the sky to keep him appraised of events. Forge and Nomad report that they are in position.Mr Fantastic and Vision are the 1st to land, and they are immediately attacked by Dr Strange and Windshear (of Alpha Flight). Windshear tackles Vision who easily avoids him by going immaterial then downs him with his solar beam. Meanwhile Strange has kept MrF at bay with mystic blasts which allows him to then defeat the android with a blast from behind. But Reed Richards' arm is longer than the mage anticipated and he can still knock him out of the sky. However his punch didn't have much force at that distance so DrS is able to defeat *him* too. He reports back to Moondragon that he'd had to sacrifice pawn Windshear as expected.In Goddess' cathedral Multiple Man's multiple bodies are keeping track of everything and reporting to Moondragon.Next up is Beast and Iceman vs believers Captain America and Scarlet Witch. After some  too-and-fro Beast sucker-punches Wanda while Cap downs Iceman with feet encased in a blast of his own ice. Then Steve Rogers and Henry McCoy duke it out until Cap is about to decapitate his foe with his shield. But then recovered Bobby Drake conks him with an ice-club.Inside her Cosmic Egg at the heart of the planet Goddess reaches out across the Galaxy with her mind converting alien races to her Crusade. With her is Silhouette with Pip the Troll (another Infinity Watch-er) trussed up and gagged. She was Goddess' secret weapon who prevented Pip from taking control of the Egg (in Warlock & The Infinity Watch #20).Maxam (a friend of the Watch) and Rogue are walking along bickering when Maxam finds himself trapped in 1 of Invisible Woman's force fields, and Rogue is pummelled unconscious by sneak-attacking Hercules (and a tree). They weren't expecting Maxam and don't know who he is. The mystery newbie (since WIW#16) increases his mass and size until the force-bubble pops, taking out its creator. So the 2 strongmen trade blows until Maxam picks Herc up and throws him away to an ocean. An interlude with Moondragon and Multiple Man lets us know that Max is somehow not registering on their scanners, but MD recognises the move he previously used on Drax (in WIW#17).Iron Man and Speedball have made it to within sight of Goddess' Cathedral. Archangel and Black Knight attack Robbie Baldwin but IM repulsor-blasts them from behind - he'd been using SB as bait.In Warlock Chronicles #4 in Soul World Adam Warlock tried to persuade his bad side Magus to join him against his good side Goddess. He failed but realised he didn't need him. Now he mentally calls for Thanos to bring him out. The Titan is currently wearing Adam's Soul Gem within which Soul World lies, and he's looking after Adam's body onboard his Dreadnaught-666 spacecraft. As per their plan he sends Warlock's soul somewhere else.We briefly view the result of a 3 vs 2 battle where Sasquatch and U.S. Agent have defeated unbelievers Nova and She-Hulk with the loss of Wolfsbane. Then Firestar and Strong Guy are attacked by Puck (of Alpha Flight) and Spider-Man respectively. Puck KO's Firestar but with her last moments of consciousness she blasts him too. Guido and Spidey slug it out until the big guy wins and continues on alone.Then we glimpse Storm and Wonder Man who have defeated Havok and Spider-Woman but lost ally Moon Knight (who appeared in the middle of the fight at the end of Marc Spector: MK #57). Moondragon mentally contacts them and sends the after Maxam. Meanwhile unbelievers Darkhawk and Human Torch are heading in from the ocean, flying over swimming Hercules en route, when they meet Sleepwalker in midair. A beam from his eyes draws tendrils of seaweed up from the water which drag the heroes down. Moondragon sends him to his next target.Up in the Dreadnaught Thanos has used telemetry from Forge and Nomad to locate Goddess and most of the surface combatants. But he's worried that he can't find believer Gamora (another Watchie and also his adopted daughter). He muses about it to himself, or to the comatose Professor X by his side. But we know where Gamora is because she stops Cyclops and Rage at the door to the Cathedral. She takes out Rage with a nerve chop, and Quicksilver zooms in to down Cyke with a furious rain of blows. And Aurora and Shaman defeat fellow Alphan Northstar along with Polaris, so Moonie sends them after Iron Man and Strong Guy.Another Alphan Guardian is with Wolverine when Logan alerts her that she's about to be attacked. She turns and blasts Daredevil. Wolvie dodges as Living Lightning dives at him in lightning form and smashes into a rock. They hear a noise and head over towards where Dr Strange and Shaman have found Strong Guy and the Sorcerer has him in a mystic bubble. Meanwhile Night Thrasher and Thing are trying to figure out which way the Cathedral lies when Gamora takes out NT and is joined by Sasquatch to defeat Thing. Thanos has at last located Gamora and prepares to fire on the planet.Guardian and Wolverine have found Shaman but now he's with Wonder Man (and DrS and Guido have gone). Simon Williams' ionic punch deals with Guardian while Logan's kick takes down Shaman. Then WM beats on Wolvie until Maxam turns up and KO's him with 1 hit on the head. Elsewhere Storm de-ices Bobby Drake and US Agent's shield smashes the distracted Beast. Ororo has to stop him from mercilessly beating the fallen foe. Iron Man and Speedball find the fallen bodies of Mr Fantastic, Vision and Windshear but are attacked by Aurora, Quicksilver and Storm. SB falls immediately and the 3 gradually subdue IM.Meanwhile Goddess has united all the souls she has contacted across the Galaxy and intends to use this combined power to break the limits self-imposed on the Cosmic Cubes that make up the Cosmic Egg. (This is as predicted by Mephisto to Adam Warlock and Thanos in Warlock Chronicles #3.) But now Thanos fires Dreadnaught-666's enormous gun at Paradise Omega. The blast punches through the planet to hit the Cosmic Egg at its centre. But the Titan detects that it has been deflected by a force field. His masterstroke has come to nought and he hurriedly teleports out of the huge spaceship with Prof X before a retaliatory blow destroys it.All this time we've seen Hulk plummeting towards the planet. Forge and Nomad in their observation pod detect an incoming body and bail out before their pod is smashed by Hulk. Meanwhile Gamora and Sasquatch have found Maxam and Wolverine. The  2 warriors clash while the 2 strong beings face off. But they're interrupted by Hulk and a piece of pod wall landing on Sasquatch. Logan uses the distraction to gut Gamora. Maxam wonders why Hulk is naked (clothes burned off in atmospheric re-entry). US Agent leaps out of nowhere to down Wolvie with his shield, but Maxam throws him against a tree.Thanos and Prof X have teleported inside the hollow centre of the planet which holds the Cosmic Egg. Silhouette and Pip have at least been rendered unconscious by the Dreadnaught blast but the Egg and Goddess are unaffected. Goddess is intent on her Galactic task and doesn't notice them. The Titan figures that the Egg will resist physical attack, but this is why he brought Prof X along. Even though in a coma Thanos can use Charles Xavier's mental power, channelled through Warlock's Soul Gem that he wears on his brow, to launch a mental assault on their foe.We see Sleepwalker approach Maxam. But instead of attacking him the policeman from the Dream Dimension communes with Goddess. As do Moondragon and the Multiple Men. And also many folk in New York, as witnessed by Luke Cage. We see the same happening in Japan, on the battlegrounds of Paradise Omega and on a planet of Skrulls. Thanos' ploy is too late. Goddess unleashes the full power of the combined minds and the Cosmic Egg. And the Sun goes nova. As do stars all over the Galaxy.

The damned
Adam Warlock's good side has taken the name Goddess and a collection of Cosmic Containment Units (or Cosmic Cubes) with which she intends to eradicate evil and spread peace throughout the universe. To that end she has recruited (brainwashed) many heroes who have deep beliefs and taken them to her cathedral on Paradise Omega, the planet she created on the far side of the Sun from Earth. The heroes left behind have assembled in Avengers Mansion to oppose her. Last issue Mr Fantastic, Iron Man and Vision flew a quinjet to Omega to talk to her but she teleported them back to Earth space where they went instead to see the Watcher in the Blue Area of the Moon.Now he tells them what he has seen of her activities. She is sending telepathic waves out into the Galaxy and he witnessed 1 effect 1st hand as he saw Shi'ar and Skrull forces fighting 30 light years away until they suddenly laid down their weapons and left. He detected changes in their brainwaves. Iron Man wonders why Earth isn't affected. (But it is, because we have seen armies stopping fighting and crime ceasing. It only seems to be the heroes that are still planning violence.) Vision guesses that her transmission is long-range and so Earth and Moon are too close. They saw that she's heavily defended her planet so she knows trouble can arise nearby. Watcher refuses to speculate whether the results of her actions will be good or bad for the universe, and he too teleports them away, back to the Mansion. But privately he admits that her plan is perilous.Meanwhile Dr Strange is letting Moondragon and others on Planet Omega undetectably watch the meeting in Avengers Mansion (with no sound). Moondragon mentally reports the continuing conspiracy to Goddess at the centre of the planet in her Cosmic Egg which she constructed from the CCUs. Goddess tells her to deal with it while she continues to expand her influence. We see Hepzibah and Raza (of the Starjammers) on the Shi'ar throneworld discard their guns.Back in the Mansion there is some continuing disagreement. Prof X, Guardian (Heather Hudson) and Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter) aren't sure that Goddess' plan would be bad for the universe. Professor Hulk angrily contests this. They are interrupted by the villain Absorbing Man breaking in. But he's not here to fight, he wants to surrender and accept punishment for his past misdeeds (I told you Earth was affected by the Goddess).On Omega DrS manages to get sound to go with the picture. But they're more worried by the fact that 1 of the faithful disappears. They don't realise that Sleepwalker automatically returns to Rick Sheridan's mind (on Earth) when the boy wakes up.In the Mansion Mr Fantastic has organised an official meeting to decide what to do. Pip The Troll tells them that Goddess is Adam Warlock's good side, just as Magus in Infinity War was his evil side. When Warlock had the Infinity Gauntlet he expelled good and evil from himself.Warlock himself is back in the Infinity Watch's (otherwise currently empty) castle on Monster Island. He teleports to Thanos' spaceship which has just arrived. Mephisto joins them to say that they'll need his help against Goddess. He and Thanos agree that evil can't be deleted without good going too. And unlike Adam most people can't manage without them. The devil tells the duo that he knows things about the CCUs that they need to understand.Reed Richards wants to put things to a vote. But Prof X asks for a delay while he mentally contacts Moondragon to talk things out. He initiates contact while Pip surreptitiously touches his arm. Charles Xavier tells Heather Douglas that if she explained exactly what the Goddess' plan was then it could persuade some doubters here on Earth to help her, and avert conflict. MD replies that Goddess doesn't need their help, and no unbelievers will be allowed to thwart her holy cause. And she mind-blasts PX into a coma. The heroes no longer need a vote to know that they must act.While Vision tries to diagnose what's wrong with Prof X, Pip asks him about the Cosmic Containment Units. The synthezoid explains that they grant the wishes of anyone who in physical contact with 1. This confirms Pip's plan. His physical contact with PX allowed him to get a mental fix on Moondragon's location, and from MD's mind also a fix on the Goddess. So now his Space Gem will enable him to teleport to either of them. He's going to be the hero who saves the universe! His bubble is popped a little when Warlock mentally contacts him to ask for details of the current situation ...... this includes the fact that Moondragon and Gamora are now part of Goddess' flock on Paradise Omega (Drax and Maxam are here with the good guys). Mephisto now names his price for the info he has on the Cosmic Cubes. When everything's over he wants 1 of the CCUs.The good guys have 2 interstellar mark V quinjets created by Tony Stark, and a harmonic disruptor gun tuned to the frequency of the Cosmic Egg's energy (which MrF detected while they were on Omega). Moondragon of course hears all of this via Strange's viewer and reports to Goddess who changes the harmonic frequency so that the plan won't work. She advises MD to go on the offensive. The heroes board the quinjets but the believers prepare to send an atomic bomb to New York. Mystics DrS, Scarlet Witch, Shaman and Talisman will disrupt comms during the attack.Moondragon mentally calls Silver Surfer in from space patrol to help with the attack. But he queries the righteousness of killing their previous friends given that they present no real threat. But to MD any questioning of Goddess' orders is blasphemy so she mind-blasts *him*. However the Surfer is not so easily defeated, and now he is free of Goddess' spell.  But Heather Douglas has also contacted Firelord, another ex-Herald Of Galactus, who viciously attacks him.On board 1 of the quinjets Hulk senses that Pip is up to something, which is confirmed when the Troll teleports away. He, Drax and Maxam figure out what Pip has done and think he's gone to betray them to Goddess. But we see him land on the Cosmic Egg and make a wish. And Goddess is turned to salt.

Rapture
The Goddess has made the Sun go nova. It consumes Mercury and Venus then it reaches Paradise Omega, the planet she created on the far side of the Sun from Earth. It engulfs Drax and Thor still fighting in space, along with Firelord also out there. We see it killing Gamora, Maxam and Wolverine on the planet, and Aurora, Iron Man, Quicksilver and Storm in another group. It reaches to the core of the planet where it finds Pip The Troll, Professor X, Silhouette and Thanos outside the Cosmic Egg. Only Goddess herself survives inside the Egg. Meanwhile it also swallows Earth. We see Deathlok, Luke Cage, Silver Sable and the being called Terror. We see it consume the faithful who are awaiting the Rapture and the fearful unbelievers. We see it take a kid reading this very comic open to this page. And all the other Suns in the galaxy flare up too, taking the Shi'ar and the Skrulls (and all the other aliens). Goddess declares this the end of the universe (making the frequent comic mistake of confusing the universe with the Galaxy). And now she intends to take her holy fire down the dimensional corridor to other universes.But then she opens her eyes and finds that the 4 beings outside the Egg are still alive and well. As are those we saw on the surface and above Planet Omega. And on Earth and the other alien planets. Even the kid reading the previous page has turned to this 1. Thanos admits this isn't *his* doing. But then Adam Warlock's spirit appears to explain what happened. He was inside Goddess' subconscious (as seen in Warlock Chronicles #5 and Warlock & Infinity Watch #22) trying but failing to stop her. And he realised that Thanos' external attack was too late (see last issue). However being part of Goddess meant he too was in contact with the Cosmic Egg so he made it create an illusion of the 'Rapture' a moment before she would trigger the real thing, which tricked her into believing that she had done it. He had to make the whole universe believe it was happening to them in order to convince her.Goddess still intends to achieve her goal but Thanos points out that, now that they know what she intended, her believers won't lend her their combined will to allow her to override the safeguards built into (the Cosmic Cubes which make up) the Cosmic Egg. But she boasts that she can still use the Cosmic Egg to achieve her ends in gradual stages. So Warlock penetrates the Egg and she finds herself unable to stop him because he is only a soul which the Egg can't effect. Goddess responds by shucking her body and making it a soul-on-soul conflict. They battle within the energy plane of the Egg to which she is linked. That plus the fact that Adam's cool intellect is no match for the fire of her zeal mean that she has him on the ropes ...... until Thanos and Prof X weigh in with their mental powers. She still manages to hold them off for a while but then another factor determines the outcome. The 3 heroes are all complete souls while she is only a part of Adam that he discarded (after the Infinity Gauntlet event). She pretends to give up but then reoccupies her body. However Thanos is ready and a beam from the Soul Gem he wears on his brow absorbs both her and Adam. Another beam sends Warlock's soul to his own body on Thanos' spaceship. (We'll see what happened to Goddess later.) Thanos realises that must have been a command preset by Adam before he gave the Titan the Gem (see #4).He also realises that Warlock will use the ship's teleporter to get back here straight away so he doesn't have long to do what he has to. 1st he does what he's promised Adam (because his word is his bond) and gets the Egg to return all the other heroes on or near Omega to Earth. Then he uses a small device to honour another promise. And then he makes a final wish.Then he pretends to be surprised when Adam teleports in and takes his Soul Gem back. Warlock warns him that he won't allow him to use the Cosmic Egg for himself. But Thanos says that he has told the Egg to self-destruct in 10 minutes, destroying the planet with it. The planet is also swiftly exiting the Solar System. And as a final act Thanos teleports the 2 of them back to his spaceship.We see Earth's heroes in joyful reunion in Avengers Mansion. Thor makes a quick exit. Mr Fantastic reports to Nick Fury that the crisis is over but they don't know why or how. Pip The Troll is still bound and gagged (after his attempt to take over the Egg in Warlock & Infinity Watch #20). Prof X reports that Thanos was involved in saving the day. Sasquatch complains that his back has been shaved by Black Knight's sword, but Speedball is looking shifty. Wolverine compliments Gamora on her healing factor.Thanos and Warlock watch the end of Paradise Omega from Thanos' ship. Adam reminds Thanos that he promised Mephisto 1 of the Cosmic Cubes that made up the Cosmic Egg, but the Titan suggests he let him worry about that. Adam thanks him for his aid and for honourably destroying the Egg. Thanos rejects the idea that he is some kind of hero. He did what he did for his own benefit including destroying the Egg so no-one could bother him with it again. He points out that the Egg proved to have its flaws which is why *he* didn't want it. If and when *he* decides to conquer the universe his plan would be foolproof. Thanos teleports Warlock away until then ...... to reappear among the gathered heroes. Rather than thanking him they blame him for the problem because Goddess was part of him. Gamora leaps to his defence until now-unbound Pip teleports the whole Infinity Watch to Monster Island. Adam blames the heroes' reaction on frustration because all their efforts were irrelevant to the outcome. Moondragon bemoans the fact that she's spent years becoming a better person but Goddess easily turned her back to her old tyrannical self.Adam reveals what happened to Goddess. He's trapped her in Soul World (inside the Soul Gem) where she meets his other aspect Magus. She discovers that because they are just fragments of Warlock's soul the other (complete soul) inhabitants such as Autolycus can't tell she's there. She and Magus *can* talk to each other but it turns out even they can't touch each other.Firelord looks in on Titan where Eros appears not to know that all the Titanians were immobilised by Goddess (as seen by Silver Surfer in Warlock & Infinity Watch #19). Dr Strange discovers that the inhabitants of Earth believe the whole Infinity Crusade has been a mass hallucination. Wolverine advises Storm not to feel guilty about falling under Goddess' spell. Daredevil and Spider-Man go out on the streets to deal with the crimes that have restarted now that Goddess isn't making everyone 'good'. And Silver Surfer sees wars restarting too.On his ship Thanos has a Cosmic Cube/Cosmic Containment Unit (which he presumably extracted from the Egg with his device). Mephisto arrives to collect it and Thanos tells him all the others are gone. He hands it over and the devil immediately tries to use it to kill him. But it doesn't work and the devil accuses the Titan of cheating. Thanos points out that he only promised him a Cosmic Cube, Mephisto never specified that it should be a working 1. The devil should know all about such small minor details. Mephisto leaves in a huff and Thanos resolves to continue relying only on himself.

Epiphany
The Infinity Watch are in their castle base on Monster Island. Adam Warlock is brooding over a sense of an impending cosmic event, and ignoring the rest of the team. Their mysterious amnesiac guest Maxam (see Warlock & Infinity Watch #16-17) is testing his strength by lifting Drax over his head. Moondragon gauges him at Hulk-level. Gamora is still suspicious of him because of the vision she had of him standing over Adam's body (in WIW#12). Pip the Troll thinks he's faking amnesia.Warlock leaves them to use the Orb that Eternity gave him (WIW#15) to contact that being. He hasn't done so before because he sensed that the cosmic being wouldn't like trivial interruptions. Floating in lotus position he concentrates and his room is replaced by a white void. Adam is tempted to abandon the problems of the world and just stay here in peace. But then Eternity manifests. Warlock tells him that he feels something is amiss in the universe. Eternity agrees but says it's not a big enough problem to merit his attention. Then he leaves to look after the rest of the universe.Someone has been observing all this and now she too manifests as a spectral glowing body who calls herself the Goddess. Adam feels she is familiar and then realises she is the opposite of the Magus. (At the end of the Infinity Gauntlet event when Adam had the godlike power of the Infinity Gems he shed himself of both his bad and good sides so he could wield the power rationally. His bad side became a new version of his old foe Magus in the Infinity War event. And now he realises it's the turn of his good side.) The Goddess now banishes him to non-existence so he can't interfere with her plans.Next we witness various religiously-minded superheroes seeing golden symbols in the sky. Living Lightning of the West Coast Avengers sees a cross. Sasquatch of Alpha Flight sees a star of David. Black Knight sees a chalice. Namorita of the New Warriors sees a trident. For Hercules of the Avengers it's a lightning bolt. For Storm of the X-Men it's an ankh. For the Avenger Sersi of the Eternals it seems to be a Möbius strip. Then the visions vanish.Goddess then pops up in a darkened room where a gem is kept in a transparent sealed case. She deliberately touches the case to set off an alarm. She confront the off-panel guardian of the gem and condemns him to eternal damnation for his sins and banishes him to another realm.Mephisto in Hell has also detected a dangerous force in the universe which might even destroy his own realm. He decides he needs to recruit some allies to combat this menace.Now Goddess reveals to us she has been collecting Cosmic Containment Units (Cosmic Cubes to us) from various dimensions. (So she is the 1 who spirited away Magus' 5 CCUs at the end of Infinity War.) Now she surrounded by about 20 of them. She uses their power to transform herself into a physical body which is effectively a female version of Adam clad in golden armour and a Warlock-style cloak.In another reality Adam Warlock is floating inert when a purple hand touches him.Back on Earth about a quarter of the world's population get a mystical epiphany. The Goddess personally appears to some superheroes although their companions wonder who they're talking too. She gives a speech which is tailored to their individual personalities. They are Storm + Jean Grey + Archangel, Invisible Woman, Daredevil, Namorita + Silhouette, Spider-Man, Quicksilver, Dr Strange, Wonder Man, Captain America, Puck + Shaman + Talisman + Windshear + Sasquatch, Silver Surfer, Thor, Sersi, Sleepwalker, Crystal, Hercules, Firelord, Moondragon, US Agent, Wolfsbane + Multiple Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Knight, Gamora, Living Lightning and Moon Knight. She asks them all if they will join her Infinity Crusade and they all reply "Yes". Then their companions (if any) see them go through portals.On Monster Island Drax, Maxam and Pip see Gamora disappear. Pip goes to alert Moondragon but she's gone from her room. He then goes to Adam's room and finds it's been replaced by the white void, but the Orb Of Eternity is still there. The Fantastic Four contact the Avengers and learn that Vision is compiling a list of the missing. He asks if Sue Richards is religious, and Human Torch assents that she is. Vizh invites them to a big superhero gathering at Avengers Mansion. But then a voice says "Reed Richards, you are needed" and Mr Fantastic disappears (but not through a portal).At the meeting images of most of the missing are posted on a screen. They don't include Gamora and Moondragon because they don't know how to contact the Watch. Nor Firelord, Silver Surfer and Sleepwalker for similar reasons. They also mention that Quasar is off in space and they haven't been able to contact Excalibur or X-Force. (However we haven't seen any of these in Goddess' army.) Vision proposes his theory that the abductees all have deep religious or moral convictions, or have had after-death experiences. They decide that Mr Fantastic was taken by someone else. The Professor Green Hulk suggests that it's maybe Thanos behind the disappearances like he was in Infinity Gauntlet, but Cyclops points out the current situation is different, and Prof X *hopes* it's not him.Meanwhile Goddess has gone to the far side of the Sun and assembles rocky matter into a new Earth. She makes it a green paradises and then brings in her chosen heroes. Cap notes that there are no animals here. And then the ground trembles as a cathedral rises up from the ground. And Goddess welcomes them to Paradise Omega.

Enlightenment
Last issue the Goddess brought some superheroes who believed in her Infinity Crusade to Paradise Omega, a cathedral on a newly-created planet on the opposite side of the Sun to Earth. She now addresses her flock about what she claims is the Supreme One(ie God)'s will that they cleanse the universe of evil. The cathedral contains comms equipment to spread the good word, and teleportation devices to send them to carry out his will anywhere in the galaxy.Meanwhile the heroes not invited have assembled in Avengers Mansion. They suspect Thanos is behind the disappearance of their fellows, but they've contacted his father Mentor on Titan who says he can't detect him anywhere. Hulk blames Adam Warlock and the Infinity Watch but Thing suggests he might just be miffed because Drax of the Watch beat him (WIW#13). Human Torch is wondering where Mr Fantastic went.It is at this point that Pip of the Watch teleports in with Drax, Maxam and Reed Richards (all from WIW#18). Nobody recognises the newbie Maxam, and Ben Grimm immediately assumes that he's the big bad who's kidnapped Reed, and the Infinity Watch are his stooges. He grabs Maxam who responds by growing bigger and bulkier and then Drax punches him to the ground. But of course this starts a general attack led by Hulk and Wolverine. Maxam just stands there and lets people punch him. Hulk and Drax have round 2. Pip just teleports out of the way to attack people from behind. It's up to Mr Fantastic to calm everyone down and explain that the Watch are on their side.The Avengers' monitoring system has detected that no crimes have been committed in the last few hours anywhere in the world. Richards tells them of some things he discovered in WIW#18 - that their foe calls herself the Goddess and she has a load of Cosmic Containment Units (Cosmic Cubes) with which she's blanketing the Earth with telepathic waves. And it is these waves that are turning bad guys good, and have caused their missing companions to go to her willingly.Meanwhile Goddess is claiming to her followers that it is her mere presence here which has caused the epidemic of goodness. But she can't convert the whole galaxy by herself. To that end she tells them she has gathered 30 CCUs from various realities and combined them into a huge cosmic egg which she now shows them. This will enable her awaken a comic group consciousness which will become a universal will to remould the galaxy.Silver Surfer questions whether the 6 Infinity Gems might not overpower even 30 CCUs. But Goddess reminds him that the Supreme One's servant the Living Tribunal has decreed that the 6 Gems may not be used together. (Besides she privately knows that she's disposed of the guardians of 2 of the Gems in WIW#18. And she has 2 of the others on her side anyway.) Invisible Woman asks whether cosmic entities like the Tribunal or Eternity might interfere. Goddess claims that they are aware of what's happening (and as we saw in WIW#18 and Dr Strange #54 Eternity is definitely staying out of it). She will do her work from within the cosmic egg and she wants her troops to defend her against attack while she works. Telepathic Moondragon will be her contact with them all.At Avengers Mansion Nomad has joined the gathering because there are no crimes out their for him to stop. And Vision has learned that all armed conflicts have stopped throughout the globe. At this point Aurora of Alpha Flight switches to her religious alternate personality Jeanne-Marie. And she feels the Goddess' call. Mr Fantastic suggests they let her go to the Goddess in a quinjet, but some of them should accompany her. (Meanwhile Johnny Storm wonders why he wasn't chosen by the Goddess alongside his sister Sue. Thing suggests it may be because he and Torch have too much doubt.)Moondragon senses Aurora's situation but Goddess isn't concerned. MrF, Iron Man and Vision accompany Aurora in the quinjet as Goddess guides it past the Sun towards where the heroes know Counter-Earth used to be. They are watched by Surfer and Firelord (who they hadn't known were part of the Crusade), but the 2 let them pass. As they approach the planet they see it guarded by defensive satellites and an energy shield. But again they are allowed through. Crystal and Invisible Woman are on 1 of the satellites. And Sue Richards knows that if the Goddess had wanted it she would have fired on the craft which she knows contains her husband.The quinjet lands and the passengers step out. But suddenly the planet is transformed to floating rocks, and then back again as a display of Goddess' power. She wants the 3 heroes to return to Earth to warn the others not to interfere with her plan. Mr Fantastic asks why she needs followers if she's so powerful. Goddess admits to not being omnipotent, and claims that her flock joined her willingly. MrF claims that isn't true because he detects telepathic emissions from the egg to her retinue. Moondragon protests that he's lying because her Mind Gem would have detected it. But Reed has planted a seed of doubt. Reed offers the help of he and his 2 companions but Goddess knows they would only seek ways to sabotage things. So she sends them and the quinjet immediately back to Earth orbit. They report back to Avengers Mansion before heading somewhere else.In the Mansion Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter) wonders if the Goddess' goal is maybe a good thing. Prof X agrees but others don't. Spider-Woman also wonders if bad guys like Dr Doom and Thanos would be out to stop her eradicating evil. Prof X says that the good guys at least have to monitor what she's doing to make sure the result would truly good.Now we look in on Adam Warlock (between #1 and #2 of his new Warlock Chronicles series) as he flies to rescue the guardian of the Reality Gem and mend a rupture in reality.And then we follow the quinjet to the Blue Area of the Moon where Mr Fantastic introduces Iron Man and Vision to the Watcher.And then back to Paradise Omega where Goddess enters the cosmic egg and they both sink into the ground. All the way down to a hidden sanctuary in the centre of this new planet. And she expands her consciousness out into the universe.

Mortal sins
Adam Warlock's 'good' side Goddess has gathered an army of superhero believers on the planet Paradise Omega which she created on the opposite side of the Sun to Earth. She also combined a load of Cosmic Cubes into a large Cosmic Egg which she now inhabits at the centre of that planet. From there she's been spreading her mental wave of 'peacefulness' across the Galaxy. But last issue ended with Pip The Troll using his Space Gem to teleport to the Egg and use its power to turn her into a pile of salt.Now Thanos surveys the forces in play in the Infinity Crusade and notices that Goddess has vanished from the stage. And then just as abruptly she returns. (We know that in Warlock & Infinity Watch #20 Pip spent all his time imagining gratifying all his desires with the power of the Egg, while Silhouette crept out of the container we saw in the Egg in our #2 and took over control of the Egg and revived Goddess.)So now Thanos has to continue with Warlock's war plan (which he learned of in Warlock Chronicles #3 but as per comics-usual we weren't given any details). He locates Silver Surfer flying through space on his board. Last issue Surfer broke free of Goddess' spell, and after fighting Firelord in his own #83 he's on his way to warn the unbeliever heroes that Goddess is aware of their plans. But now Thanos teleports him to his spaceship. SS expects to be attacked but Thanos surprises him by 'surrendering'. He also notices that Thanos has Adam's Soul Gem on his brow.Meanwhile Goddess contacts Moondragon her spokeswoman to carry out their plans against to unbelievers. Dr Strange along with Scarlet Witch, Shaman and Talisman opens a mystic portal to Avengers Mansion. Hercules and Wonder Man carry a big bomb through accompanied by more believers. But they find the place empty, and MD deduces that they've already left for Paradise Omega (as we saw last issue).Back in Thanos' spacecraft Silver Surfer is shown the comatose body of Warlock. Thanos explains that Adam gave him the Gem so he could use it to take Warlock's soul into Soul World within it. Norrin Radd of course doesn't believe or trust him. Thanos points out that Adam's body shows no sign of a fight. And that he himself helped defeat Magus in the Infinity War event. Surfer says that Thanos only did it for his own reasons, but Thanos says that the same is true now. And Warlock's plan needs Surfer's help.Now we see that Adam Warlock is indeed in Soul World where he is greeted by Autolycus and Judge Kray-Torr (old enemies of his turned friends by Soul World). Adam says he's looking for someone, but it's not anyone they will know is here. (Spoiler for the end of the issue, it's Adam's 'bad' side Magus who he banished here at the end of Infinity War. But because Magus doesn't have a soul of his own he can't affect the souls here in any way, including being detected by them.)The unbelieving heroes are travelling to Paradise Omega in 2 souped-up spaceworthy quinjets. Mr Fantastic and Iron Man are conferring between the 2 craft. MrF has improved their cloaking since their previous trip (#2) so Goddess and her followers won't be able to detect them this time. They *will* be visible when they get closer but they hope to get down on the planet before the defences can react. Then they will have to fight their friends, possibly with fatal casualties on both sides.Holograms of Thanos and Silver Surfer appear on both ships. The heroes of course don't initially trust the villain and the believer. But Surfer assures them he has left the faith, and the Titan opposes the Goddess for his own reasons. Thanos proposes to stage a diversion to aid their attack, details of which he's fed into their computer. In turn that attack will be a diversion to cover his own actions which he won't tell them about lest telepath Moondragon and her Mind Gem learn of them. But he *does* need the help of Prof X. They tell him that unfortunately Charles Xavier was mind-blasted by MD in Avengers Mansion (last issue). However Thanos says that's irrelevant, and the holograms leave.We now find that the Mansion isn't quite as deserted as Moondragon thought. Bishop is guarding Prof X's comatose body with a member of the Avengers support staff (Marvel Fandom Wiki suggests Zack Moonhunter). Then their charge disappears ...... to reappear with Thanos, Surfer and Warlock's body. Thanos intends to use a headset to control Xavier's telepathic powers even while he's unconscious. He assures SS that it won't hurt X. Norrin wonders how much of a hero he really is. Thanos suggests they use the Soul Gem to temporarily merge souls and then Surfer can find out. SS declines the offer. Thanos sends him out to take up position for the diversion. Meanwhile he will wait for something he sent for that he stored a long way away.Now we look in on Rick Sheridan taking a drink of orange juice which knocks him out and releases Sleepwalker. Sleepy comments that he'd fortuitously doctored the juice so now he can rejoin Goddess' flock. (Last issue he automatically left them when Rick woke up.) Moondragon welcomes him back. She also chivvies the 4 mystics to use their powers to find where the unbelievers are.Silver Surfer tells Thanos that he's in place but is worried because he's never tried this before. The Titan assures him that he's calculated that he'll be able to survive it. Then he turns his attention to the spaceship that is approaching his. We know that Thanos' own ship is pretty big, but as it gets closer we realise that it easily fits in an entrance bay of the humongous Dreadnought 666 (previously mentioned in WIW#19 and WC#3). He signals Surfer to commence.SS swoops into the Sun to steal some of its energy. Thanos thinks to himself that he really *should* have done the calculations to see if Surfer would survive. His action causes a solar flare that knocks out most of the believers' long-range scanners, but that's not the diversion. Then the Surfer emerges bulked up with energy and almost out of control. Drax and Hulk have been sent out to watch over his progress, Drax in space and Hulk on an asteroid. SS isn't heading in the right direction so Drax gives him a big punch to alter his course. He's still not quite right so Hulk (currently very intelligent) hurls a very large rock which completes the trajectory adjustment. The Surfer-bomb is now heading straight to Paradise Omega.The believers can't tell what it is and panicked Moondragon mentally contacts Goddess for help. But Goddess is too busy bringing on Universal Rapture. So Heather Douglas sends Thor out to deal with it and orders all defence posts to fire on anything that moves. Now she gets reports that it's Silver Surfer and the defence satellites fire at him without any effect. And he hits the planet's moon turning it to rubble. We see 1 of the satellites damaged and Invisible Woman holding Crystal's body, calling for retrieval back to the Cathedral on the planet. They are teleported there as we learn that all the satellites are out of commission. They are now replaced by space mines and Moondragon orders everyone to prepare to hold the infidels off long enough for Goddess to complete her task.The 2 quinjets are flying through the minefield. Cyclops and his brother Havok are standing on the hulls destroying mines in their path. Drax has picked up Hulk and they find Surfer's limp body. Thor arrives and sends Mjolnir punching through both quinjets. The hulls are breached so the heroes all get into 2-person escape pods. Meanwhile Drax and Hulk stop Thor from following them. After trading a few punches Thor smashes Hulk's jetpack and pushes him away to float helplessly in space, falling towards the planet. As the pods head towards planetfall too Thanos requests 1 of them to remain aloft to provide him with capability of scanning then planet's surface. Forge and Nomad are detailed the job.Meanwhile in Soul World Warlock has located Magus. And on Paradise Omega the believers are sent out in pairs to await the escape pods. In space Drax and Thor continue to duke it out and Hulk and the pods continue to fall. And on the Dreadnought Thanos prepares his plan with comatose Prof X to aid him.

Doctor Doom has joined with Strange and the Silver Surfer, demanding to know what is happening. Warlock arrives and announces his presence.

The Final Confrontation
The all-powerful Nebula faces her combined foes (though unable to see Adam Warlock) and seals Thanos in stone, taunting him over his nihilistic rule. To reverse the chaos, she wills that, with the exception of her possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, everything goes back to the way it was 24 hours earlier. Suddenly, all the vanished people of the universe are returned to their lives, all destruction is reversed, and no one retains memory of the events of this day. One thing she overlooked was that she was dead 24 hours earlier…but she remembers in time to prevent Thanos from retaking the Infinity Gauntlet. Her other oversight was that the Cosmic Beings are free and ready to do battle. While all madness breaks loose on an infinite scale, Warlock expands his soul to fill the Soul Gem and, when Nebula has defeated her foes, causes disharmony to force Nebula to remove the Gauntlet. This causes a scramble among all those present for the powerful prize and it is Warlock who obtains it and puts it on. He reverses all the new destruction and pledges himself to a wise rule of the universe. In an epilogue, Warlock and his companions Pip the Troll and Gamora visit Thanos, living in contentment on a peaceful pastoral world.Other characters appearing in this issue: Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, Eros.

Preparations for War
Earth scientists discover that Thanos’ cosmic attack has pushed Earth out of its orbit giving a greater urgency to the mission. Doctor Strange summons Earth’s leading heroes, including a reluctant Hulk, to form a team to stop Thanos. The first problem is when Doctor Doom demands to lead the force and, under the pressure of the assembled heroes, grudgingly relents. Adam Warlock and the Silver Surfer head into space to recruit an even more powerful set of allies, the great Cosmic Beings, some of whom decline to participate but most agree to cooperate (Galactus is very hard to convince to follow a mortal’s leading). Back on Earth, Warlock secretly meets with Hulk and Wolverine and asks them, should they get the opportunity, to kill Thanos. Meanwhile Thanos, frustrated with Mistress Death’s unresponsive attitude, creates for himself a more suitable consort, Terraxia the Terrible, and waits for the confrontation he knows is coming. Warlock has briefed the assault force on the plan of attack, and aided by Dr. Strange’s protective spells, the team is transported to battle with Thanos while Warlock and the Surfer take up a position to observe.Also appearing: Eros.

Cosmic Battle on the Edge of the Universe
The heroes arrive at the space shrine to confront Thanos. Mephisto suggests to Thanos that it would impress Mistress Death if the contest were not so one-sided so Thanos agrees to limit his knowledge so that he cannot foresee his opponents’ moves. The battle begins and the Earth heroes, while putting up a valiant effort, are vanquished one by one. When the only foe remaining is Captain America, and Thanos raises this fist to deal the death blow, Adam Warlock gives the signal and Silver Surfer speeds toward them to seize the Infinity Gauntlet from his hand—and misses. Thanos, having eliminated all his foes, wills himself back to full power. Warlock moves on to the greater phase of his plan: the Cosmic Beings attack.Other characters appearing in this issue: Doctor Strange, Eros.

God
A seriously injured Silver Surfer crashes through the roof of Dr. Strange’s home to bring him a warning: Thanos has gained possession of the Infinity Gauntlet, giving him godlike powers over the universe. With Mephisto as his advisor, Thanos courts Mistress Death but she spurns his love. To please her, he creates a floating shrine in space for her, resurrects his dead granddaughter Nebula as a zombie slave, and, with a snap of his fingers, wipes out of existence half the lives in the universe. On Earth and other worlds the sudden disappearances of so many people causes shock and panic. Meanwhile, Adam Warlock, Pip the Troll, and Gamora have arrived on Earth by inhabiting the bodies of three criminals killed in a car wreck, and begin adapting them to their own identities.Also appearing: Eros, Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Sersi, Nick Fury, Val, Drax the Destroyer, Firelord, Wong, Mentor, the Skrulls.
