Stories

Profane the Precious Time · 30 pages
Due to his combined Kree-Skrull heritage, Hulkling is asked to become the ruler of both races, which would bring an end to their long rivalry. Things do not go smoothly, especially with their reaction to Billy, his fiance, and Teddy is forced to renounce the relationship (or, at least, to pretend to do so).

Publisher’s description

DESTINY FULFILLED! The child of the Kree hero Mar-Vell and Skrull Princess Anelle, Dorrek VIII — known on Earth as “Teddy” — has spent years evading the clutches of both bloodthirsty empires. But now fate has caught up to him. The Kree and Skrull worlds are aligned — and only a man born of both can lead them. But what has led Hulkling to abandon Earth and the Avengers he’s fought beside? And what will become of his fiancé, the hero Wiccan? Star writers Chip Zdarsky and Anthony Oliveira team up with artist Manual Garcia for a can’t-miss one-shot!
