This issue tells the story of how Mar-vell is pulled (by accident) from the past, into our present time, where he is requested by Tony Stark to become the warden of the Negative Zone prison known as "42" until it's destruction in Civil War #7. This does not necessarily undo Mar-Vell's death as he will likely have to return to his own time to succumb to the cancer growing in his body.
