INFINITY WARS #2 $4.99 
(W) Gerry Duggan (A/CA) Mike Deodato
    As the Infinity Stones come to Earth, so too comes the war for control over them. But none who wield the stones know the truth about the power they contain or what it would take to bring them to their END. The nature of the universe itself hangs in the balance as we learn the answer to the question on everyone's lips since "Infinity Wars Prime": WHO IS REQUIEM? Thor makes an appearance so brief that it doesn't even rate a mention on the Cast Page.
