Line 11:
[[Thanos]], the Mad Titan, Avatar of Death, has been brought back to life.
Now all the key interstellar empires, cosmic heroes and forces of universe have descended on the Fault to stem the invading forces of the "cancerverse", forces filled with [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] and [[Evil Twin|twisted versions of Marvel's strongest]].
A [[Marvel Comics]] [[Bat Family Crossover]] for Marvel's cosmic/space titles that spun out of 2009's [[Red Skies Crossover|Realm of the Kings]] storyline and various story elements that have been introduced under the tenure of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning post-[[Annihilation]] Marvel cosmic era.

* [[Call Back]]: Annihilators arguing about their name in similiar way [[Guardians of the Galaxy]] did in first issue of their adventures.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Subverted with Thanos, had a [[Unwanted Revival]], made worst in that his body is now immortal, thus sealing him off from his beloved mistress.

* [[Continuity Nod]]: Drax putting on a variation of his original costume as they go into the Cancerverse.

Line 42:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: For once, Richard gets to tell the Worldmind that it's "critical you pay attention at this time!"

** Blastarr in the epilogue, when he ecounters {{spoiler|the Annihilators}}.

'''Blastarr:''' [[Precision F-Strike|Oh shi-]] }}
* [[Prescience Is Predictable]]: {{spoiler|Mantis in the final issue.}}
* [[Power Walk]]: Performed by [[Nova]], [[Quasar (comics)|Quasar]], [[Beta Ray Bill]], Gladiator, Ronan the Accuser and [[Silver Surfer]]. And because the tease before the issue's release as the basis for fan speculation of a cosmic [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] after the event.
* [[The Problem
* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]: The Resistance, lead by {{spoiler|[[The Vision]]}}, within the Cancerverse is made of the few Marvel [[Ridiculously Human Robot|mechanical life]] that weren't wiped out in the early in the conversion of the cancerverse.

Line 59:

* [[X Meets Y]]: [[Space Opera]] meets [[Cosmic Horror Story]] in [[Marvel Universe]]!
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]: Despite the arrival of the massive Galactus Engine to battle the cosmic abstracts and entities, to both the reader and the non-abstracts at the battle, it does nothing. The [[Silver Surfer]] is the one that explains that both the Galactus Engine and the other abstracts are in a battle that the rest can't fathom until its the consequences have already been decided. Likely doubles as an [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]].
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|Adam Magus, head native cheerleader for the Cancerverse and [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] of the Avatar of Life, at the end of the Ignition one shot and prologue.}}
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: {{spoiler|What happens to an abstract that is killed in a battle we can only see the results of.}}
