"Empire's End" Double-Sized issue. Operation: Galactic Storm Part 19 of 19. Script by Bob Harras. Pencils by Steve Epting. Inks by Tom Palmer. Cover by Steve Epting and Tom Palmer. Story continues from Wonder Man 9. In horrific fashion the Nega-Bomb has exploded and destroyed the Kree empire. Millions of Kree have perished and their once majestic cities lie in ruins. Across deep space the Avengers try desperately to locate one another and regroup. Quasar and Thor find the team that went to Hala (floating aimlessly in space) and then find Wonder Man and the Vision likewise. After rendezvousing with the team that traveled to the Shi'ar empire, all fourteen avengers fly to Hala to see the devastation firsthand and also search for Captain America. Miraculously, the shield-slinger and Deathbird have survived the wave of destruction! And once all the Avengers are together again, it appears that their Galactic Storm adventure is over. But not just yet
