Episode 185 – The Strange Death of Adam Warlock Part 2

On this episode, we wrap up our two-parter on Marvel's cosmic messiah, Adam Warlock, with a look at two stories that close the loop on Jim Starlin's classic Magus Saga: Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two-in-One Annual #2, published by Marvel Comics! In "The Final Threat," Warlock, Captain Marvel, Moondragon and the Avengers are all that stands between Earth and an alien armada as Warlock's onetime ally, Thanos, attempts to use the power of the soul gems to extinguish all the stars in the heavens! Plus, Adam Warlock meets Adam Warlock—for the second time! Then, in "Death Watch!," Spider-Man and The Thing must rescue the captive Avengers before Thanos settles for his consolation prize: snuffing out our very own sun as a token of his affection for Death herself! Can Adam Warlock finally find peace? Can your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler help defeat the Mad Titan and save the world? And can these stories prevail against that Infinity Crusade known as ...
