Scourge of the Gods: The Fall

In 2010, Marvel launched Scourge of the Gods: The Fall, a single-issue comic that serves as a self-contained chapter within the larger "Scourge of the Gods" storyline. Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Steve Kurth, this issue explores a grim, alternate-future corner of the Marvel Universe where humanity faces extinction at the hands of a celestial plague. It stands as a focused, standalone tale of survival and sacrifice, offering a poignant meditation on the end of an era.
