Meanwhile, as the heroes hunt for the stones a new weapon is being forged of unbelievable power, the welder is unknown but the destructive force is unimaginable! Every hero from the street to the Stars, from Spider-Man to the Kree will be affected, the post secret wars universe will never be the same!
“As we worked on the Infinity Stones’ story, it became clear the story was much bigger than we could contain in the Guardians of the Galaxy series,” said editor Jordan D. White. “It starts with the Guardians, but the story extends out into the entire Marvel Universe, with stones popping up in some VERY surprising places. A countdown is the next step in the story…but as the name implies, it’s leading to something even greater.”
