☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Epiphany," the explosive first chapter of Infinity Crusade (2008), launches Jim Starlin’s cosmic-scale saga with a bold premise: the Goddess unveils her vision of galactic salvation through the mysterious Cosmic Egg, leaving heroes scrambling to understand where their allies have vanished. As Captain America, Vision, and Iron Man follow Aurora—now reverting to her Jean-Marie identity—on a desperate journey to Paradise Omega, they confront the Goddess’s vast mind-control scheme and are cast out, seeking answers from the Watcher on the moon. Ron Lim’s dynamic interior art, inked by Al Milgrom and colored by Ian Laughlin, brings the grandeur and tension of this pivotal moment to life, while Ron Lim and Al Milgrom’s cover captures the haunting intensity of the Goddess’s arrival.
In "Epiphany," Adam Warlock senses a cosmic disturbance that leads him to confront the Goddess—his own enlightened counterpart—after Eternity refuses to answer his call. The Goddess then calls upon Earth’s most spiritually attuned heroes, whisking them away on a mysterious quest that leaves their teammates bewildered. As the remaining heroes scramble to understand the disappearance, the Goddess shapes a new world, Paradise Omega, for her chosen followers.
In "Enlightenment!", Jo and the heroes grapple with the sudden disappearance of their allies, drawn into a cosmic mystery as the Goddess unveils her vision of galactic salvation through the Cosmic Egg. With Aurora embracing her Jean-Marie identity and guided by Captain America, Vision, and Iron Man, the team journeys to Paradise Omega, only to confront the Goddess’s vast mind-control scheme and be cast out—leading them to the Watcher on the moon to uncover the truth.
In "Rescue," Adam Warlock confronts the lingering consequences of his past choices as Chaos and Order track his every move. Reeling from memories of his time with the Infinity Gauntlet, Warlock returns to reality only to find himself face to face with Thanos, the guardian of the Reality Gem.
In "The Damned," the heroes of the Infinity Crusade confront a cosmic peace wave sent by the Goddess, sparking debate over whether her influence is salvation or a greater threat. As Warlock, Thanos, and Mephisto conspire behind the scenes, and Professor X is struck down by a mind blast on Paradise Omega, the team races toward the Cosmic Egg with a harmonic disruptor in hand. When the Surfer breaks free to battle Firelord, only one hope remains—Pip’s desperate leap to the Cosmic Egg, where fate itself may be rewritten.
