We’re ready to end this series, and at this point it is running on fumes. And speaking of fumes, Cap’s been doing something that gave him a hangover…

Surprising everyone, these issues turn out to be one of the best Captain Marvel stories and one of the best Doug Moench scripts.

This story is four issues of Cap and Drax, who first fight and then team-up against ISAAC, which is the computer system that runs Thanos’ home planet, Titan. ISAAC has decided to take over planet Earth by creating a super-soldier called Stellarax.

But first, Drax finally learns where Thanos is hiding and heads out to kill him…

…Only when he gets there, Mar-Vell has beaten him to it, petrifying Thanos in stone.

So, Drax fights Mar-Vell because Drax really wanted to do that.

He’s a psycho.

But after the (silly but entertaining) fight, the two team up with Elysius and others…

…In her first appearance.

Of course, they save the day.

It ends with Rick Jones, now a huge rock star, and his girlfriend flying off with Mar-Vell to have adventures.

On the letters page is an editor blurb advising that Cap’s adventures with Gertie will continue in Marvel Spotlight. Translated: They’ll burn off in another title.
