A Kymellian mathematician has just developed the ultimate decryption algorithm – but for reasons of Galactic Union security, that CAN’T be allowed to happen. Time for MAXIMUS of the Inhumans to send in his Imperial Guardians – GAMORA, CAPTAIN MARVEL, AMADEUS CHO, DARKHAWK and COSMIC GHOST RIDER – for a little cleanup operation. Trouble is, the Shi’ar Empire want the algorithm too, and they’ve tasked their Superguardians to retrieve it. Are things going to go well? You do the math.
