Quasar (1989 series) #39

Thanos has given to the Earth heroes the Ultimate Nullifier to battle the threat of the Magus. Quasar volunteers to risk his life to use it. He creates a containment dome around himself and contacts his cosmic goddaughter Epoch to help him understand how to use the Nullifier. Epoch refrs him to the Repository of Knowledge on the planet Rus. They teleport to Rus and are just beginning their research when Quasar is attacked by the Deathurge. Meanwhile Kismet and Makkari are on the Mourners’ space ship, heading toward the doomed Scadam. When Kismet learns that Scadam has not yet been destroyed and that the Mourners have no intention to trying to rescue the world, she takes action by going into battle against the Black Fleet. Deathurge defeats Quasar but is not there to kill him: his mission is to visit everyone who plans to use the Ultimate Nullifier to ensure they understand the consequences of “dispensing the void.” Quasar determines to use the Nullifier without perishing in the process. He returns to the containment dome, ready to activate the weapon.
