The menace of the Builders has been eliminated, so the team is returning to Earth to deal with the invasion forces led by Thanos - which means the team and its armada of allies must fight a battle in orbit.
The story brings together the Guardians of the Galaxy and an assortment of alien allies in a battle to recapture The Peak, a giant space station that can help defend the Earth - if the team can get control away from one of Thanos' powerful generals.
What follows is a brutal battle - and I have to admit I got a big smile out of seeing which Avenger ends up being the last one still standing in that fight.
It's another powerful chapter by writer Jonathan Hickman, although it's a chapter that isn't really indispensable - but it has some nice character moments, and does its job, paving the way for the final issue of Infinity.
So far, this has been a terrific series - one of Marvel's best in quite a while. Can't wait to see that final confrontation with Thanos!
Grade: A-
