"Beginnings and Endings" Part 3 of 3. Script and Art by John Byrne. Cover by John Byrne. After an unprecedented victory over Galactus, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four face a major ethical decision: should they try to save the Ravager of Worlds or let him perish as his energies dwindle? Reed decides on the former and constructs a giant machine to revitalize Galactus! However, the Devourer of Worlds needs one more thing to complete his recovery...a new herald! In a stunning move, Frankie Raye volunteers! So where does that leave the Human Torch? First appearance of Nova (aka Frankie Raye).
