Synopsis for "Ego: Beginning and End!"

Ego has withdrawn his minions, and begins to project images into Thor's mind. Thor relives Ego's origin, as Egros. When he comes to, he discovers that while they had Ego distracted, Galactus has attached thrusters to Ego's south pole, launching him into exile. Galactus then agrees to free Firelord if a suitable replacement is found, and such a one is the Destroyer.

Notes

• Galacutus arrived in his characteristic "Space Bubble" craft, but in this issue he is in a rectangular craft. Perhaps the multiple artists added creative license...

• This issue contains a letters page, The Hammer Strikes. Letters are published from Mark A. Solinski, Donald Porgos, Charles Murphy and Rob Bier.

• The letters page also contains a Series "A" Marvel Value Stamp Vol 1 40 Loki. This image is from the cover of Thor Vol 1 207.
