4.0

I got to be honest, the ending kind of lowered it for me because the rest was FIRE!

The start is great. Thanos is back and the guardians have no clue what to do with him. The cancerverse strikes at the worst time, wanting to destroy the 616 universe. Thanos somehow has the power in their universe to kill people...permanently. No regeneration or returning. This means Thanos is vital but everyone hates him. On top of that, the entire cosmic world is trying their best to stop the invasion.

This is fantastic. Chaotic but flowed so well. Everyone on the edge, the world is coming to a end, everyone is dying, it's so perfect, so fun. There's ton of badass moments and my boy Nova really gets to shine big time. I also think Thanos really gets to be interesting here, and scary as fuck. Didn't love the final few pages for Nova/Richard fight. And didn't love the last issue was just building up another series.

But overall a great goodbye to the cosmic universe. I hear annhilators is cool but not mandatory for the end of Abnett's big cosmic run, and to be honest, probably can't top this. A 4 out of 5.
