• The War and the Warrior! [Operation Galactic Storm, Part 7] · 22 pages

  Thor and his companions arrive in Shi'ar space but find themselves in the vicinity of an attack by a Kree starship. Gladiator mistakes them for the attackers and battles the Avengers. Thor winds up defeating Gladiator but has to destroy their only route home to do so.

Publisher’s description

Thor takes up the hammer alongside Earth's Mightiest to defeat Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The team, overpowered by Lilandra’s right-hand man, banishes Gladiator to deep Shi'ar space. The only problem? The Avengers were transported to deep-space too, and now face an entire alien armada!
