BEFORE SHE WAS A GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY, GAMORA WAS AN ASSASSIN-IN-TRAINING AND WARD TO THE MAD TITAN, THANOS. ORPHANED BY THE GENOCIDE OF HER PEOPLE, GAMORA WAS RAISED BY THANOS TO KILL WITHOUT MERCY AND WITHOUT CONSCIENCE. THIS IS HOW SHE BECAME KNOWN AS THE DEADLIEST WOMAN IN THE GALAXY.

FTER ASSASSINATING THE BROTHER ROYALE AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY--THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GENOCIDE OF HER FELLOW ZEN-WHOBERIS--GAMORA ATHOUGHT HER REVENGE AGAINST THE BADOON WAS COMPLETE. THAT IS, UNTIL HER SCHEMING SISTER NEBULA REVEALED THERE WAS ONE BADOON ARISTOCRAT LEFT ALIVE: AN ILLEGITIMATE HALF-BADOON PRINCESS, EXILED AS AN INFANT TO AN INESCAPABLE PLANET THAT’S CAUGHT IN THE ORBIT OF A SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE.

FEARING SHE WILL NEVER FIND PEACE WITH HER VENGEANCE INCOMPLETE, GAMORA SET HER COURSE FOR UBLIEX--ONLY TO FIND HER WAY IMPEDED BY A TRIO OF BADOON ATTACK DRONES. SUSTAINING DAMAGE, GAMORA CRASH-LANDED ON UBLIEX AND HAD TO BE PULLED FROM THE WRECKAGE BY A MYSTERIOUS YOUNG WOMAN NAMED L’WIT. L’WIT SEEMED TO THINK THEY WERE DESTINED TO MEET EACH OTHER, BUT BEFORE SHE COULD EXPLAIN, THEY WERE ATTACKED BY DOOMSDAY CULTISTS. THEY WORKED TOGETHER TO FIGHT THEM OFF, BUT IN THE MIDST OF THE FRAY THE TWO WOMEN WERE SEPARATED. MEMENTO MORI, PART THREE

nnng…

you know those days you wake up to find doomsday cultists about to sacrifice you in hopes of staving off the black hole that’s about to absorb their planet?

yeah…I’ve had better mornings.

even if they don’t manage to kill me, my “best” option is death by fire, earthquake, or--here’s a fun one-- spaghettification.

mori finds her sacrifice too meager!

it’s an earthquake, you idiot!

may the blood of the profane fortify the unblinking eye of mori. may it gaze upon us with mercy! oh god please I don’t wanna die… I feel the vibrations in the stone, a moment before they do. don’t you know the difference between physics and metaphysics?!

WE SHALL BLEED THE BOY AS WELL! bring my axe!

behind I don’t you!! want to live, but I have to…just a …long enough to bit longer... hunt down the last living member of the badoon royal since my dynasty, and put a blood didn’t final end to their do the corrupt legacy. trick- -

--how about we try yours? gerrk!

you have my thanks.

keep your thanks-- I’ ll keep the axe.

no…please… I’ll do anything you ask…

get them!!
