Plot summary

Nobody's Fault But My Own

Following the conclusion of Old Man Logan (2016–2018) and Dead Man Logan (2018–2019), an elderly Peter Quill, former Star-Lord and current Emperor of Spartax, seemingly returns to Earth with the Guardians of the Galaxy on a mysterious quest through the Wastelands, seeking out a hidden weapon in the Baxter Building in order to prevent Galactus from consuming Earth. Over his journey, he unwittingly assists Ashley Barton / Spider-Bitch to regain power after she returned to her reality after Spider-Geddon to find seven years to have passed, oblivious to her being a supervillain.^[6][7]

Go Your Own Way

After finding the Ultimate Nullifier to have been destroyed, Quill realises he has been hallucinating all of the other Guardians over his quest, who were killed by Galactus. After bypassing Doctor Doom, who believes Quill came for him, and Spider-Bitch, who assumed Doom has come for her, Quill eventually defeats Galactus himself by shooting him in the head with the Time Stone, lobotomising him, before forming a new incarnation of the Guardians of the Galaxy to travel the galaxy and take down the Church of Galactus.^[8][9]
