Spoilers

Marvel Comics Legacy and Infinity Countdown #1 Spoilers follow.

We get a quick explanation on how the infinity stones work…

…then we get a story catch-up page with credits plus…

…the dramatis personae.

Groot confronts the Elder named the Gardener.

If you’re interested in the Elders check out their recent mention in Avengers No Surrender (full spoilers here).

Anyhow, Groot heals the Gardener, but cleansing him of Loki’s poison. However, now Groot is unwell.

The Gardener heals him and Groot now is quite verbose; no more “I am Groot“.

On Earth, in Mardipoor, it appears that…

…the Avenger Black Widow is back for someone unknown reason.

Despite being featured prominently on the main cover, Wolverine does not appear in this issue, but he was in X-Men Red #2 (full spoilers here). Also, even with Adam Warlock on his own variant cover, he didn’t appear either.

We end with a look at Infinity Countdown #2 and…

…the Infinity Countdown checklist.
