The Black Vortex, an ancient artifact of immense and immeasurable power has resurfaced on the far side of the galaxy.

Imagine the power that transformed Jean Grey into the Phoenix or Norin Radd into the Silver Surfer available to anyone, and in the hands of those who would use it for evil!

Writer Sam Humphries in an interview with Marvel.com said:

What happens when one person submits to the Black Vortex and becomes a titan of the cosmos?”. “What happens when a whole team does it. Or a whole planet? But against the epic scale, we’re grounding the story in the deeply personal conflict each character will go through just by encountering the Black Vortex.”

The Black Vortex has been claimed by the villainous gangster Mr. Knife and Thane, the wayward son of Thanos. With billions of lives across the universe at stake, it will take the combined might of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men and more to stem the coming darkness.
