Sam Humphries (Legendary Star-Lord) writes the first bookend issue that leads into Guardians of the Galaxy, All-New X-Men, Cyclops, Captain Marvel and Nova. The writer explains how this cosmic object draws in multiple heroes and powerful villains.
“The Black Vortex is an ancient artifact with the power to unlock the cosmic potential within yourself. Imagine the metamorphosis that turned Norrin Radd into the Silver Surfer, or Jean Grey into Dark Phoenix, available to anyone in the Marvel Universe.
But, of course, no amount of power comes without a cost—the Black Vortex makes its first appearance in The Legendary Star-Lord #5!” Humphries told Marvel.com.
“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? We open the story ten billion years ago, at the birth of the Marvel Universe, and see what a Pandora’s Box the Black Vortex can be.
But against that epic scale, we’re grounding the story in the deeply personal conflict each character will go through just by encountering the Black Vortex.”
Ed McGuinness will be the artist on the bookend chapters.
