Newsstand Edition. Part 1 of 6. "God!" Story by Jim Starlin. Art by George Perez, Joe Rubinstein and Tom Christopher. Story continued from Thanos Quest #1-2 and Silver Surfer (1987-98 2nd Series) #50. The Silver Surfer crashes to earth and into the Sanctum Sanctorum of one Doctor Strange. The Sentinel of the Spaceways, barely alive after a grueling ordeal, arrives with the warning that the mad Titan, Thanos, has achieved ultimate power. Combining the Infinity Gems into the ominous Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos has become master of the mind, space, time, power, reality and the soul. And with his first act of nigh-omnipotent power Thanos eradicates half the population in the universe. Can the surviving heroes of Earth mount an offensive against this supreme power for evil and destruction, plus who are the mysterious new players who've just arrived on the scene? Cover price $2.50.
