A series of shocking stories explore the possibilities of some of Earth's greatest heroes pledging themselves to Galactus! When the World-Eater enlists the Incredible Hulk as his herald, what will turn out to be the bigger mistake: trying to direct the fury of the Green Goliath or giving the great mind of Bruce Banner a cosmic problem to solve?

With the Power Cosmic flowing through his veins, Gambit is unstoppable - but is he clever enough to steal the unstealable? When Khonshu and Galactus clash, Moon Knight is caught in the middle - but when Marc Spector takes his turn as herald, his alters manifest in startling new ways! A young Rogue uses her mutant power to absorb the Power Cosmic of the Silver Surfer, changing the entire course of her storied history!
