ADAM WARLOCK WAS CREATED BY EARTH SCIENTISTS AS AN ARTIFICIAL, “PERFECT” HUMAN. FOR SOME TIME, HE EXPLORED THE COSMOS, OCCASIONALLY ALLYING HIMSELF WITH HEROES SUCH AS THE INFINITY WATCH AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. HE HAD A DARK SIDE, HOWEVER--AND EVENTUALLY, IN ORDER TO PREVENT HIS EVIL SELF, MAGUS, FROM PERMANENTLY TAKING OVER, HE CONVINCED STAR-LORD TO KILL HIM. RECENTLY, THE ADAM WARLOCK OF AN ALTERNATE REALITY WAS REBORN IN THIS REALITY WITH THE HELP OF THANOS, WHO HAS BEEN BOTH AN ALLY AND AN ENEMY TO ADAM OVER THE YEARS. THIS ALTERNATE REALITY ADAM HAS BEEN REBORN WITH VAST POWER AND KNOWLEDGE, AS HE CONTAINS THE ENERGY OF HIS FORMER REALITY WITHIN HIM--BUT HE DOES NOT FULLY REALIZE JUST HOW POWERFUL HE HAS BECOME. MOST RECENTLY, HE WAS HELPING THANOS AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO THWART ANNIHILUS FROM TAKING OVER THE UNIVERSE. BUT ANNIHILUS BANISHED THANOS TO AN EMPTY VOID, THE SEVERELY WOUNDED GUARDIANS WERE FORCED TO RETREAT, AND WARLOCK WAS TAKEN PRISONER. OR WAS HE…? [THIS STORY TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE EVENTS OF THE THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN AND THE FORTHCOMING THANOS: THE INFINITY FINALE OGN.] JIM STARLIN ALAN DAVIS MARK FARMER WRITER PENCILER INKER JORDAN BOYD VC’S JOE SABINO COLORIST LETTERER ALAN DAVIS, MARK FARMER & JORDAN BOYD COVER RON LIM, ANDY SMITH & MATT YACKEY; MARCO RUDY VARIANT COVERS ALANNA SMITH TOM BREVOORT WITH WIL MOSS ASSISTANT EDITOR EDITORS AXEL ALONSO JOE QUESADA DAN BUCKLEY ALAN FINE EDITOR IN CHIEF CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER PUBLISHER EXECUTIVE PRODUCER THE INFINITY ENTITY No. 1, May 2016.
