Synopsis With Galactus preparing to end all life on the Shi'ar homeworld, the Surfer and his many allies try to devise a plan to bring his master down; With the heroes only able to score minor victories against a weakened Galactus, he prepares to suck up their life force to feed his hunger; The Surfer subverts Galactus' world ship to his will and fires on his master, finally brigning Galactus down; As he is dying, Galactus tells the Surfer that he picked him as a herald precisely because he knew that the Surfer would one day have the strength to end his life; He also warns of an even greater danger lurking in the cosmos waiting to strike; Galactus dies.
