• Synopsis not yet written.

Notes

• As with many of the issues from this storyline, the title is an homage to a science-fiction novel or film. This title is a callback to Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End."
• Neal Adams is credited as a consultant. According to Adams, it was his wish to continue this story arc, but editors wanted to wrap up the epic. The Kree-Skrull War concludes in this issue.
• Goliath (Clint Barton) reappears next as Hawkeye in Avengers:_Forever_Vol_1_1 as one of the time-lost Avengers Rick Jones pulls to his rescue utilizing his newly-reawakened "destiny force" abilities.
• This issue is reprinted in comics and books, see references for more info.
