An unidentified narrator muses on the
importance of legacy while multiple stories commence:
In the Stone Age, several heroes
gather. They are Odin (still trying to bend Mjolnir to his will),
Phoenix, the first Black Panther, the first Iron Fist, the first
Starbrand, the first Ghost Rider, and Agamotto the first Sorcerer
Supreme. They battle a Celestial which has fallen to Earth....
Robbie Reyes, the current Ghost Rider
suddenly finds himself in Capetown South Africa, attacked by
Starbrand to keep him away from an archaeological dig....
In Jotunheim, Loki dispatches a band of
Frost Giants through a portal to recover a crate marked 4-1939. They
arrive at a SHIELD storage facility and kill many of the agents there
when Thor (Jane Foster) and Captain America (Sam Wilson) crash in
through the wall, followed shortly by a tardy Ironheart....
Steve Rogers, on an anonymous trip
across America, ponders how easily a legacy can slip away....
As Thor Odinson wallows in a tavern, an
Asgardian vizier mutters “Mangog is coming” and dies....
Mary Jane Watson is informed that the
comatose Tony Stark is missing....
Ghost Rider and Starbrand battle in the
South African countryside, drawing nearer to the archaeological dig.
Star kills the guards but the scientists keep digging....
Police have Deadpool trapped in a
public rest room, as he is wanted for the murder of Phil Coulson. The
cops open fire but 'Pool doesn't care....
Dr Strange and Iron Fist discover that
someone has tried to enter the Sanctum Sanctorum; Norman Osborn
rushes off in the shadows....
Looking out the window of Avengers
Mansion, Jarvis feels something is wrong but can't isolate it [we see
that the Avengers group statue has a female figure that isn't
Wasp]....
Thor, Cap, and Ironheart make quick
work of the Frost Giants. The leader orders a giant named Snarr to
seize the crate and rush it back to Loki....
The Thing and Human Torch stand atop
the Baxter Building and think about their legacy....
We learn there is an Intergalactic
Empire of Wakanda....
The Alpha Flight Deep Space Monitoring
System receives a message from the planet Sakaar begging Hulk to
return....
Ghost Rider unleashes the Penance Stare
(which this GR has never done before) and apparently kills Starbrand.
At the dig, the scientists uncover the Celestial buried since the
Stone Age....
Snarr, carrying Crate 4-1939, is hit by
a truck; he challenges the driver to a fight. The driver pops a set
of claws with a familiar “snikt”....
Jean Grey visits the grave of Wolverine
only to find it burst open....
Having killed the Frost Giant,
Wolverine opens the crate an Infinity Stone....
Loki gives up the Infinity Stone as
lost and so visits the buried Celestial....
Out in space, the unnamed narrator is
revealed to be Valeria Richards, exploring with her brother Franklin,
and desiring to explore her home universe....
