Love it! Cant wait!

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MAN!! Looks like some WONDERFUL Starlin Goodness coming our way...and INCREDIBLE Ron Lim art (one of my favorite artists), he hasn't lost a step. This is going to be GREAT! This harkens back to some truly amazing comic story-telling. If this turns out to be only HALF as good as it looks...it is still going to exceed nearly anything on the shelves today.
Want it! Gotta have it! NEED it!

This is just TOO GLORIOUS!

I'm getting ALL of those variant covers, I already have my LCS pulling one of each for me.

A trip down memory lane with Thanos and Mephisto brought to us by two of Marvel Cosmic's very best, Lim and Starlin.
Perfect for new readers that aren't already familiar with his bad-assery.
As if that weren't sweet enough, LOOK it's Mar-Vell!
SO MUCH AWESOME all at once, I'm still in disbelief.

Geez, Ron Lim's art is still as fantastic as it was when I was in high school.

So is this be a Lim-illustrated retelling of the '70s Captain Marvel Starlin stuff/the Cosmic Cube storyline? Plus Infinity Gauntlet?

Considering they're among my favorite stories and do involve my favorite characters, I am indeed excited. B)
