COM:    Surfer and Drax are trapped in Soul World, and the Destroyer has decided that the only way to escape is to destroy the place and has taken out Gamora, who was trying to stop him. Warlock arrives, plays cat and mouse with Drax for while, and takes him down with a sleeper hold, which works only because Drax didn't realize he no longer needed to breathe. Warlock, knowing that he can't stop the Surfers war with Thanos, decides to help send them back to reality, but as they are returning, he pledges his service to them if they should ever need his aid. Mephisto appears, no so much to inform them of Thanos' plans but to put a twist in the knife and, when he returns to his master, millions of light years away, Thanos decides to deal with the Surfer through special agents.

COM:    Avengers FY appearance. Magneto's army is waging a full scale attack on Sphinx II, but the battle is sorely one sided against them. At Chrysler Building, Dwayne gets access to her HQ in the penthouse, and in a makeshift Night Thrasher costume, takes out the guards; but upon seeing the havoc going on below, forms a plan to get at her through her beloved cat. Sphinx realizes the breech and goes to intercede and leaves her Avengers to mop up the rest of the army. While the others take down the Avengers, Sayge sends Firestar, Nova, and Marvel Man to midtown to the sight of the real fight to be won. The batted away Hulk lands in Springdale where Robbie and his friend are playing and he wishes he were a hero, too. In the Sphinx's HQ, the quartet, who are getting their butts kicked, use the cat as hostage and force the empress to face the truth via Sayge. She realizes the error of what she has done, and changes the world back to what it was. Unfortunately, the cat wasn't a part of our reality and dissolves in her arms, and, at story end, she flips out and swears vengeance on the team for what they did.

She recalls her past with the Surfer and how he took her through time to prehistoric Earth to show her that no life is inconsequential (taking place between #43 and 44) So now she is having a moral dilemma over the primitively inhabited world that she's chosen for her master. She confronts Galactus with the fact, and he reminds her none too gently to whom her fealty lies. He consumes the planet and then prepares for the coming conflict with Thanos, and, at story end, Nova accepts her part in this horror and wonders what will happen if she's forced to make this decision again.

COM:    Infinity Gauntlet X-over. Picking the story up from #50, Surfer crashes through the skylight of Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum and delivers the message that Thanos is coming. The mad Titan had eliminated half the population in the universe, including Mentor and Eros on his home planet. Not understanding what is happening, Firelord and Drax go to consult Isaac, but instead of answers, they are shown the events from ish #50 and shown that Surfer is on Earth. Drax looses it and attacks Firelord, and is only stopped when he almost kills the young boy they had befriended. There is a pitiable scene when Drax replays the events that caused his lobotomy, and the pair race toward Earth. They don't get far when they are swallowed by a spatial rift, and, at story end, come out in Avenger's HQ with the other heroes preparing for the assault on Thanos.

Foul-up, because half of the Kree have disappeared (thanks to Thanos), decides to make up for the shortfall by doubling his people's taxes, which is the last straw to a band of revolutionaries. Dar-Benn and Ael-Dann hire who appears to be the Surfer to kill Foul-up and blame the Skrulls for the attack. That night, as Foul-up starts his latest televised address, the Surfer bursts into the palace, kills Dwi-Zann and the Emperor before being destroyed by Ael-Dan and Dar-Benn. The pair than seize joint control of the Empire (until free elections can be held of course) and prepare for war against the Skrulls. Once the cameras are off, they collect the pieces of the Surfer and take them back to their creator, whom they kill and blow up the lab and all the evidence of their plot. At story end, they prepare to find out what happened to the missing Kree and prevent it from happening from the rest.   Signed cover by Ron and Tom.

The sentient force quickly takes control, putting a halt to the altercation, and Terrax is reborn.

He writes about the conquering of the Kree, the Skrulls, the Shi'ar, and his own home world, and the slaughter houses he's set up on Earth.   When the Surfer refuses to continue, Thanos has him jump through a few hoops, but, as soon as his guard was down, Surfer takes a nose dive off the Monument to Necronos below. Thanos takes his anger out on him, then puts him back together, restoring his power cosmic to make him invulnerable to another such attempt. Surfer squares off with his with his restored powers, and suddenly wakes up to find he's still with Warlock in space (from last ish), waiting to attack Thanos, and all of this had been a dream. At story end, they make their move. Story crosses into INFG LTD #4.

Afterward, there is nothing else except darkness. At story end, the cocoon hatches and Reptyl Prime is born. Signed cover by Ron and Tom.

When they return to reality, Thanos gloats like crazy, and Surfer, explaining his reasoning to the others, resigns himself to work with the monster. At story end, the Collector is trying to recapture his missing specimens.     Ron Lim cover.

COM: Story opens with a teaser of Thrash hunting Chord down outside of Tony's Models. Scene switches to the Cheetah Club in Huntington, Long Island where Vance and Nova have hunted Persuasion down, which doesn't go over very big with her. At the new HQ, Sil finds Thrash crying after finding out that the Taylor Foundation has been laundering money for subversive organizations, and Chord tries to circle around him and gathers the other team members against him while they go and check out Tony's Models. They tangle with the night watchman and find out that the man behind all the monkey business is Chord, but, upon returning to their HQ, they are confronted with the rest of the team. Chord tips his hand, and when pressed for the truth, he decides suicide is a better way out. They take him to the hospital, and then prepare to investigate another company that sent up red flags from the TF records, Ophrah Industries owned by Gideon.
