Plot

Lead-up

Teddy Altman is offered to become the ruler of the Kree-Skrull Alliance, at the cost of leaving his longtime lover Billy Kaplan. He adopts the mantle Dorrek VIII and begins preparing to invade Earth for "the final war". [4]

G'iah sends Skrull High Command an encrypted message about Project Blossom. She and her daughters locate a Kree–Skrull War sample in a lab, which is revealed to be from the endangered Cotati species. Dorrek VIII sends a message to all Kree and Skrull soldiers, stating that they will unite to face a common enemy. [5]

Meanwhile, Immortus gives Iron Man nightmares about the Kree's massacre of the Cotati long ago. [a] Iron Man and the Avengers investigate a psychic request from the Moon and discover that the Cotati are living there. The "Celestial Messiah" Sequoia, also known as Quoi, tells the Avengers that the Kree and Skrull are united against the Cotati. [6]

At Casino Cosmico, the Elder of the Universe known as the Profiteer re-enacts the Kree–Skrull War despite it being over. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four are stranded in space before being rescued by a cargo ship. They head to Casino Cosmico, hoping to enter the Thing into a few fights to win them transport back to Earth. During this, Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards temporarily take control of Casino Cosmico, but give it back to the Profiteer. [7]

Main plot

As the Kree and Skrulls approach Earth, the Avengers prepare to defend the Cotati while the Fantastic Four send Franklin, Valeria, and their adoptive children Jo-Venn and N'kalla back to Earth while they make contact with Hulkling to establish the situation. The initial conflict is brief with Hulkling and his inner circle Super-Skrull, Captain Glory, and Tanalth the Pursuer, but it is soon established that the Cotati intend to establish themselves as a new empire to avenge themselves on the rest of the universe. [8]

At the Blue Area of the Moon, Quoi traps several heroes in plants, including Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man. However, Thor summons Mjolnir, enabling him to escape. As Quoi escapes, Iron Man is contacted by Black Panther, who informs him that the Cotati are on Earth. Tanalth reveals that the Universal Weapon was formerly wielded by Ronan the Accuser and gives it to Captain Marvel. [9]

In Wakanda, Black Panther deduces that the Cotati seek Vibranium to grow the same Death Blossom that was used on the Kree/Skrull fleets. The pilot of the ship arrives and is revealed to be Mantis, who plans to reason with Quoi. On the Alliance ship, Captain Marvel, Human Torch, Hulkling, and the Alliance's inner circle discuss their plans to weaken the Cotati. As the Alliance disagrees with Hulkling, Tanalth has Super-Skrull bring up a previous incident where he destroyed several Skrull colonies that imitated Earth culture. Captain Glory speaks with Tanalth in private about how Ronan died standing with the Utopian faction [b] and his gene scan does not identify her as a Kree. Tanalth is revealed to be R'Kill, who survived the destruction of Tarnax IV. [10]

Captain Marvel speaks to Super-Skrull about how Captain America is having a hard time gathering the military to help fight the Cotati. Super-Skrull mentions that the troops are bickering with each other, and that Tanalth has sequestered herself from the command deck. At Avengers Mountain, Tony Stark is working on another Iron Man armor as Mister Fantastic informs him about the Pyre, which they plan to use on the Sun. In Wakanda, Black Panther is leading his allies and the Wakandan army in fighting the Cotati. At Lake Victoria, Quoi and the Swordsman Cotati hear that the battle is not over as She-Hulk, Invisible Woman, and the Thing arrive with Mantis to confront them. She-Hulk is soon revealed to have been possessed by the Cotati, while Wiccan suspects that Hulkling has been possessed as well. [11] Mister Fantastic informs Tony Stark that there is a Death Blossom in Wakanda and with the Pyre triggered, they have nine minutes to save the world. [12]

Meanwhile, Jo-Venn and N'kalla free She-Hulk from the Cotati and Captain Glory discovers that R'Kill is impersonating Hulkling. As the Swordsman Cotati informs Quoi that the Dark Harvest has failed, Black Panther recovers and engages the Swordsman while Mister Fantastic arrives to confront Quoi. Black Panther destroys the Death Blossom while the X-Men destroy a second Blossom on the Moon. The Cotati agree to surrender while Black Panther returns the Sword of Space to Hulkling. [13]
