Thanos #4

In a quiet moment after the end of all things, Thanos confronts his past with Adam Warlock by his side, recalling the echoes of a life shaped by ambition, loss, and cosmic reckoning. As memories of fallen allies and long-buried choices surface—including the tragedy of Rigel 3 and the shadow of his doppelgänger Thanosi—he makes a decision that defies his legacy: to face the Rigellian soldiers and answer for the destruction he once wrought.

In "Rebellion!", Thanos finds himself imprisoned by the Rigellians, forced to confront his past as Adam Warlock recounts his history. With Galactus threatening Rigel 18, Thanos offers to deal with the cosmic entity as penance—though his motives may be far from redemption.

In a moment of cosmic revelation, Galactus confronts the origins of his endless hunger as he orchestrates a sun’s destruction to open a rift between realities. Thanos, reaching through Moondragon’s powers, catches fragments of the plan—just as Galactus seeks a fanged skeleton, its breastbone bearing one of the Infinity Gems, from beyond the veil.

In "Hunger!", an ancient, ravenous entity from beyond reality reveals his obsession with Earth and his intricate design to consume it, while Galactus dispatches his relentless cyborg enforcers, the Punishers, to hunt down Thanos, Adam Warlock, and Pip. As Thanos uncovers a deeper conspiracy manipulating Galactus himself, he must race against time to stop a cosmic catastrophe—before the universe is devoured from within.
