COTATI

QUOI SWORDSMAN HULK After years of conflict, the Kree and Skrull Empires suddenly united under the leadership of Emperor Dorrek VIII, the Young Avenger and Kree/Skrull hybrid known as Hulkling. His first act as Emperor was to order their combined forces to Earth to defeat their mutual enemy, the plantlike race known as the Cotati.

Led by Quoi, the prophesied Celestial Messiah, and his father, the Swordsman, the Cotati plan to eliminate all animal life --starting with Earth. The united members of the Avengers and Fantastic Four have been defending the planet from the invading Cotati but were unable to stop them from planting the seeds for the Death Blossom. Once it blooms, the Cotati will have control of all plant life in the galaxy.

Captain Marvel and the Human Torch teamed up with former Young Avenger Wiccan, who revealed he and Hulkling had recently married. He also exposed Emperor Hulking as R’Klll, the former Skrull empress, in disguise. But while Wiccan and his allies freed the true Hulkling from captivity, they were too late to stop R’Klll from activating the Pyre, a weapon that will end the threat of the Cotati forever--by detonating Earth’s sun! story Al Ewing & Dan Slott script Al Ewing artist Valerio Schiti color artist Marte Gracia letterer VC’s Joe Caramagna cover Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos variant covers Jim Cheung & Jay David Ramos; Michael Cho; John Tyler Christopher; Tony Daniel & Frank D’Armata; Alexander Lozano & Wade von Grawbadger; Mike McKone & Morry Hollowell; Mike Mignola graphic designer Carlos Lao assistant editor Martin Biro associate editor Alanna Smith editor Tom Brevoort editor in chief C.B.
