Marvel Méga Hors Série #22
In this standout 2004 issue from Panini France’s Marvel Méga Hors Série series, Jim Starlin delivers a deep dive into Galactus’s origins as he reveals a shocking breakthrough: a way to end his endless hunger once and for all. With a sun’s collapse opening a portal to another reality, Galactus seeks out a mysterious fanged skeleton bearing one of the Infinity Gems—its significance still unknown. The story unfolds with Starlin’s signature cosmic scale, illustrated by his own bold art and refined by Al Milgrom’s inks, while Christie Scheele and Heroic Age handle the vivid coloring. The cover, also by Starlin and Milgrom, captures the eerie grandeur of the moment.
In a quiet moment of reckoning, Thanos contemplates his past with Adam Warlock by his side, haunted by the devastation he once wrought on Rigel 3. Struggling with the legacy of a doppelganger’s actions, he resolves to face the consequences—offering himself to the Rigellians in a bid for redemption.
In a stark, high-stakes encounter on Rigel 18, Thanos—imprisoned by the enigmatic Rigellians—offers a dangerous bargain: he’ll confront Galactus as penance for his past deeds. Adam Warlock, summoned to recount the weight of Thanos’s history, stands witness as the fate of a world hangs in the balance.
In a rare moment of reflection, Galactus recounts his ancient origins as he unveils a shocking solution to his endless hunger—using a nova to open a portal to another reality. There, he seeks a mysterious fanged skeleton bearing one of the Infinity Gems, a discovery that draws the attention of Thanos, who reaches out through Moondragon’s powers.
