Part 6 of 6. "Power!" Story by Jim Starlin. Art by Ron Lim and Joe Rubinstein. The nigh-omnipotent power of the Infinity Gauntlet has fallen into the hands of Thanos' insane niece, Nebula. Now, the universe is maybe worse off now more so than before with such power at the disposal of such a scarred psyche. She has already swept aside the attack of Thor, Hulk, Drax, Firelord, and Doctor Doom as if they were but flies. All that stands in the way of the universe and ultimate annihilation is the man called Adam Warlock, Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, and the one who forged the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos.
