Continued in issue #49. Comments: Excellent story continuing this arc. Everything was
thought out and handled very well. You get a little of everything in this story. You learn
of Galactus' alterations to Norrin's soul, you get some Thanos interaction with Galactus,
and you get to see continual development as Adam Warlock chooses to join the struggle.
Very solid. The art is done well, aswell. Lots of nice scenes done with the Silver Surfer
