Warlock and the Infinity Watch #33

After a fill-in scripter last issue John Arcudi takes over for the rest of this title's run (apart from another guest scribe in #36).

Kray-Tor was a bad guy in Strange Tales #180 during Adam Warlock's war against the Magus. But villains become nice guys when they are taken to Soul World.

We don't know exactly how closely this issue and last have hewn to Jim Starlin's original intention.

There is some confusion over the talisman(s). Last issue Darklore said he had found talismans to defeat Count Abyss with, and Meer'lyn said she was attacking him with *the* magic charms (which I took to mean the talismans). But now there is only 1 talisman and she has to go fetch it.

In #15 Eternity told Warlock he would meet 5 people with certain characteristics. The Marvel Fandom Wiki entry for that issue listed who they probably were, which chimed with what I remembered.
The most obvious 1 was the terrible good person which was the Goddess in Infinity Crusade.
The 1 without a soul was Count Abyss.
The 1 who would touch Adam's heart was Maya.
The 1 entangled in a web of past and future woes was almost certainly Maxam.
But there is a question over the other candidate.
MFW identified the 1 whose trust Adam would betray as probably Maya's husband Darklore. That did ring a bell but now I re-find that he only becomes her husband at the end of the tale, so Adam hardly betrayed his trust by loving her. As it turns out it is Maya who he really betrays.
As it stands in these 2 issues Darklore doesn't have a really good reason for strongly opposing Abyss, as he would have if it was his wife that the Count had enslaved. I wonder Starlin had something more in mind.
Given all this I don't think we really know who the 5th person on the list is, and I don't think it becomes any clearer in  the rest of the series.

We've never seen Count Abyss or Zalkor again, and Darklore, Maya and Meer'lyn only make it into a cameo next issue.
