Infinity War Aftermath #[nn]

In "The Pact," Pip and Drax steal the Silver Surfer’s board, forcing him to track them to Warlock’s base on Monster Island. There, Warlock proposes a dangerous bargain: he’ll attempt to resurrect Shalla Bal using the Surfer’s energy and the Soul and Mind Gems, but only if the team agrees to a future debt. On a desolate planet, the ritual begins—only to spiral into chaos when a dimensional rift unleashes a horde of demons upon them.

In "Death's Favor," the Infinity Watch grapples with the aftermath of a sealed dimensional breach, having restored Shalla Bal’s body only to find her soul missing. When Pip spirits Warlock and the Surfer to Mistress Death’s realm in search of answers, their quest takes a dangerous turn when the Surfer’s offhand remark sends them all hurtling into Mephisto’s domain.

In "Welcome to Hades!", Adam Warlock finds himself imprisoned in a cocoon of solid ash, while Mephisto toys with the very souls of the Infinity Watch. The Silver Surfer, desperate and changed, offers his soul for Shalla Bal’s, only to be rejected—his redemption now a hollow thing. As the team arrives to fight back, they’re quickly overwhelmed, but Warlock’s sudden escape sets the stage for a chilling confrontation that will test the limits of sacrifice and will.

In "End Game," Adam Warlock confronts Mephisto in a climactic clash as the Silver Surfer and the rest of the Infinity Watch are imprisoned in mystic stone eggs, helpless to intervene. When Drax breaks free, the team escapes—only for the Surfer to be buried under a rockslide and left behind. Emerging to find his allies gone, he must confront the lingering influence of Mephisto, whose dark spell drives him to attack the very team he once protected—until a single, unexpected sight breaks the hold.

In "Clash of Marvels," Blue Marvel steps into Quasar’s role as Protector of the Universe, but his ambition puts him at odds with Captain Marvel. As tension erupts into a brutal clash, Thor, Hercules, and the Black Knight arrive to intervene—just as Blue Marvel prepares to strike.

In the stark silence of the White Room, Quasar confronts the weight of existence alongside his forgotten guardians, while Blue Marvel grapples with an uneasy alliance with the Punisher. As Thanos senses a threat to his victory—someone attempting to revive Quasar—he sends Blue Marvel on a mission to ensure the hero remains beyond reach.

In "The Savage Sword of Salvation," Quasar confronts Blue Marvel in a clash of cosmic power, the Star Brand blazing with untamed force. As the battle rages, the tide turns when Wendell is finally freed from the White Room—only for Blue Marvel to step into his place.
