Big news for SamBucky shippers.
Marvel has a new branded comic for their Christian Louboutin collabo by Paul Allor and Nick Roche, it's pretty fun and different from the way these things normally go.
Christian is split into six by the power of the Infinity Gems Infinity Stones and Green Christian ends a battle by making everyone think of the most important thing in their lives...
...and Sam thinks of Bucky!!!

December 1977. Given how much Marvel has since pushed Adam Warlock, Thanos, and the Infinity Gems, it's somewhat ironic that Jim Starlin's original Warlock series was rather ignominiously canceled before the story was complete, leaving the conclusion to play out in THE AVENGERS Annual #7 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE Annual #2 in the fall of 1977, both magnificently illustrated by Starlin and Joe Rubinstein. Continuing the story into the latter Annual required Starlin to frame his finale as, improbably, a Thing/Spider-Man team-up, but it's Mar-Vell (whose series Starlin had also written and drawn for a while) who delivers the full-page eulogy for Adam Warlock, a minor Kirby character whom Roy Thomas and Starlin had transformed into a tortured cosmic figure, driven by truly existential angst.
Given that Thanos' plot in this story had involved using the combined power of the six Infinity Gems (here still called "Soul Gems") to blow "every star out of the heavens," leaving Adam's vampiric Soul Gem just lying on his grave seems a trifle irresponsible, but at this juncture, Warlock is dead, Thanos has been reduced to a literal monument to his own folly, and none of the survivors understands the full power of the gems. Also, they don't know that the souls of Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip the Troll, taken by the Gem before their deaths, now reside in the idyllic landscape of Soul World.
Starlin would subsequently write the end of Mar-Vell in the memorable THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL graphic novel in 1982, which returned Thanos as a kind of psychopomp. Alas, Thanos subsequently became too commercially important a villain (in the comics and later in the dreary live-action movies) to ever stay dead or truly learn from his mistakes.

According to Thor, he's spent the time between Age of Ultron and Ragnarok searching through the cosmos to find the Infinity Gems. All those visions of Asgard in peril and his takeaway was, "Ooh, fetch quest." Good job, Thor.
I'd love to have gotten a Marvel Short about Thor's ill-conceived and ultimately futile Infinity Gem search. Just wandering around places like Knowhere and Hala asking people, "Have you seen any Infinity Gems? I'm looking for an Infinity Gem. Do you have one?"
Collector seething with rage.
Trying to negotiate with the Xandarians for their Gem and failing.

Some Marvel Lego renders. Obviously Infinity Stone themed. The last one was made right before this post after switching to using a higher resolution for renders.
