Previously: Earth is dealing with its own problems as the Illuminati and other heroes challenge Thanos and his army of darkness. Out in deep space, The Avengers have finally gotten a win, but at what cost? A world and a piece of their forces lost, for one. All have made it back to the rendezvous point, save Captain Marvel’s ship and crew. The members of the council meet once again to discuss their next move against the builders.

Captain Marvel and her crew have been captured by the builders. They don’t know what they want with them, but one thing is clear. They are confused as to how and why they are in the company of things that the builders have made to do their work. Meanwhile, the galactic council meets to try and come up with a strategy that may work to their advantage. After consulting Ex Nihilo, it becomes clear that something has gone very wrong with the builders, for his purpose above all was to be life creating. Using the builders linear, direct, and predictable thinking they begin to develop a plan that is interrupted by something King J-son has done. Something that could ruin everything they have worked towards!

Hats off to writer Jonathan Hickman and his art team of Leinil Francis Yu (art) and Sunny Gho (color) for giving us another great chapter in the Infinity tale. We learn just a bit more about the builders and their reasoning, but not enough to know what is really going on. I really like the structure of the series as Avengers covers the space part while New Avengers deals with the Earth drama and the self title issues mix them up. Bravo. The Infinity main storyline will continue in New Avengers #10 and Infinity #3; both should hit shelves September 18th. Also available on the same day are a couple other Infinity tie-in issues; Captain Marvel #16 and Thunderbolts #15. Until next time, get on over to your local comic shop to check out this and other titles from the folks over at Marvel.
