• Infinity Gauntlet Crossover tie-in
Synopsis:
In these issues, as Earth's assembled heroes mount a desperate assault on Thanos and his all-powerful Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock counsels the Silver Surfer to wait and meditate - leading Norrin Radd to a terrifying vision of Thanos defeating every hero on Earth one by one. In the follow-up, a captive Silver Surfer is kept alive by Thanos as an unwilling chronicler of his divine conquests, forced to document the fall of the Kree, Skrull, and Shi'ar empires until he can bear it no longer and provokes his captor into a final defiant act. Considered the most cleverly constructed tie-in issues of the landmark 1991 crossover, these two consecutive chapters offer an intimate portrait of Thanos at the height of his omnipotence through the eyes of the one survivor he refuses to destroy.
