1st mention of Grinx. 1st appearance of Kree Close
Cruisers. The Surfer, after leaving Mantis on a safe planet, rushes
to Zenn-La and destroys the three Kree Destructoids
that have invaded the planet. Surfer issues the warning to leave his home
planet alone, and, after confronting Shalla about Mantis, decides to take the
message straight to Kree-Lar. Mantis transfers her consciousness to Earth
and overhears in the Elders meeting, learning that five of the six Soul Gems
have been collected to do away with Galactus, but is caught eavesdropping by the
Gardener. She sends a telepathic distress call which is received by Shalla,
while Surfer arrives to confront Supremor with his terms. He agrees not to
touch Zenn-La, but when the Surfer presses for Earth as well, Supremor absorbs
the Surfer's soul with the sixth Soul Gem. At story end, Supremor tells
Contemplator that he and the Elders will have to make due with only five of the
Gems. Signed cover by Rogers and Terry Austin.

As Supremor tries to keep control, Surfer's world turns toward combat with
countless Kree soldiers and finally a huge tentacled creature and is aided by

and Surfer makes contact with his board and it comes to his rescue. He
escapes, taking the Soul Gem with him, and the Supreme Intelligence goes insane
without the Gem keeping the two mental factions in check. At story end,
Contemplator realizes the Elder's plan can't continue without the sixth Gem, and
Shalla is taken by the Gardener. Signed cover by Rogers and Terry

COM: Elders of the Universe appearance. Nenora
has assumed command of the Kree Empire. On a space platform in the
Cone Nebula, the Elders prepare to enact their plan
to destroy Galactus with the Soul Gems, and lure the Surfer, who has the sixth
Gem, there with their hostages. When the Surfer gives up the Gem, the
Grandmaster, always the poor sport, shoots the sphere prison away to keep the
Surfer busy, but he's only able to save Shalla from the resulting explosion
(Mantis assumed dead).
The Elders lure Galactus there and attack him with the Gems, siphoning his
energy off and feeding it into six corresponding planets. Surfer returns
and helps Nova to temporarily stave off the attack, then sends the herald to
blow up the nearby sun. It causes a black hole to open, and Galactus, the
power flowing back into him, is the only thing that keeps them all from being
swallowed. He collects them in a giant energy net, losing the Gems,
Possessor, Astrologer and the Trader, and, at story end, prepares for
retribution on those Elders that remain.

COM: Pink skinned Kree officers attempt to assassinate
Nemora and are stopped by Ronan, and two other high level conspirators are
named. (Gen. Mar-Kann and Gen. Yel-Sinn are named) Nenora gives herself
the title of Supreme Leader and uses the term Skrullwar for the first time,
before dodging Ronan's advances and sending him out after the Surfer, who they
believe has been attacking Kree outposts. She reports in to Kylor
reporting that she's sending him a fleet to slaughter because their shields have
been disabled. Surfer, feeling the loss of Mantis, starts to warm up to
Nova, even after they find the Elder's head, and they repair to a nearby planet,
only to find it's a Kree outpost that had been just attacked by the bogus
Surfer. Ronan arrives and is bested, so, while the pair escape, he begins
upgrading with enhancements to overcome the Surfer's power. The Kree fleet
arrives at Tarakar, but with shields operational, and the Skrull's are taken
with their pants down. Congratulating the general, Nenora thinks now no
one knows her secret identity, but Kylor survives. On
Satriani, Empress S'Byll plans her next move after
the assumed death of her rival and sends Krat to Earth. At story end,
Surfer and Nova, on the trail of the bogus Surfer, catch up with him on a barren
world. Signed cover by Rich Buckler and Joe Rubinstein.

COM: Surfer fetches Reed and Sue to help save the dying
Galactus and they bring Frank with them into space. Galactus explains that
he needs the Soul Gems to extract the Elders he consumed and that they would
need to enter the black hole to find them (from ish #9). Reed, Sue and the
Surfer go, and find themselves in the Magick Universe on the other side.
They find the Possessor, who has been traded to be the property of the
Sinalinas in the Elder's bid to regain the Gems.
By the time they find the other two, both Reed and Sue are being affected by the
alien universe, and during the fight, her Malice persona resurfaces. She
trades the Surfer for the Soul Gems, and at story end, leaves them and her
husband to save herself.

PC: Speedball, Justin Baldwin,

Burnett, Dr. Benson,
Niels, Al, ~ Johnny
Roarke, Jenks.
COM: Origin of Speedball. Dr. Hammond first mentioned.
In the first feature: Roarke returning to
Springvale for revenge on the ADA that sent him to prison. Robbie,
while trying to come to terms with his new powers, has been shunning his friends
and doesn't dare to tell his parents. Some bums in the park try to roll
him, but his uncontrolled powers save him. While arguing about their son's
future, Robbie's parents are abducted by Roarke , and Speedball inadvertently
intervenes. After subduing the crooks, he beats a hasty retreat so no one
recognizes him, and he realizes, at story end, after all the wild press about
the matter, that he has to keep his ID a secret. In the second feature:
Story depicting the origin of Speedball. Three unnamed thugs looking to
steal rare metals from the Hammond Research Center,
where Robbie has an after school job cleaning up for Doc. Benson. He
sneaks into Lab 12 where the scientists are performing an experiment dealing
with extra-dimensional energy sources, and, when the experiment takes an
unexpected turn, he is accidentally exposed, giving him his kinetic powers and
creating his costume. He runs afoul of the thugs on the roof who cause the
first outbreak of his new abilities, and he collapses after the crooks beat a
retreat at the arrival of the police and are killed in an accident in the
subsequent chase. The police find Robbie on the roof-luckily he had
reverted back to his lab clothes wile he was unconscious-and after questioning
him, let him go. At story end, he decides to test his new powers and is
trying to figure out what to do with them.

at story end, arises as the In-Betweener. Signed cover by Ron and Joe.

COM: The In-Betweener has been resurrected, and, when the
three Elders arrive, it is revealed that they have been in league with him all
along. The four disappear with the Soul Gems to attack Galactus, and Reed,
Sue and Surfer follow as best they can in the damaged ship. The In-Betweener
kills the Punisher, and the Trader takes out Nova; but the In-Betweener is
unable to destroy the devourer. When the Elders try to prevent him from
launching Galactus (and their trapped brethren) back into the black hole, he
summons Death and has her take them-for which she is not pleased. The
Worldship is sent through to the Magick Dimension, and Surfer gets Order and
Chaos to save him by extracting the other Elders. Reed and Sue are
reunited with Franklin, and, at story end, Galactus recovers and he wants
revenge. Signed cover by Ron and Joe.

Elyna Candell, ~ Galactus, Colton Candell.
COM: Surfer has come among men posing as a homeless
person (Shalla appears only in a stylized memory), until the arrival of
Galactus, who, to get around his pledge not to attack the Earth, sets himself up
as a god and tells mankind to ignore the laws of man and do what they want,
leading to anarchy. Candell, taking advantage of the situation, uses his
flagging TV ministry and sets himself up as the prophet of Galactus, and helps
to lead his fellow man down the path of destruction. Surfer confronts the
evangelist, but only succeeds in getting his sister on his side before trying to
tackle his old master. The people, so taken in by the 'god', turn on

talk sense into her brother, but he has her removed, and, at story end, reveals
his plot for world domination, Galactus being only the first stepping stone.
