Owner's Description

Synopsis: "The Last White Event"

We start at the superflow of Universe 7109 and a communication station being destroyed by what can only be described as a blue gelatinous blob! We zoom back to the Nexus of all superflows and a bigger station monitoring the communication stations from the various universes. Within, a robot informs the Builder in charge that several communication stations are rapidly going offline. The Builder orders the monitoring station in for a closer look and it too ends up getting destroyed, but not before ordering the remaining communication stations to fire! Fortunately, the communication station of Universe 616 fires in time and is not destroyed by the blue blob’s tentacles!

This is the White Event and seems to power up Nightmask. He is now able to talk to and remodel some of Tony Stark’s machines in order to find “others”. A White Event apparently occurs when a world is on the verge of ascending on a universal scale; it creates/alters heralds to help shepherd in this ascension. A Nightmask is one of these shepherds but there should be others. However (as we’ve been hearing for a while) the Universe is broken, the system is broken, so this was not a normal White Event. Nightmask finds what he was looking for, a Starbrand burnt into the Earth. This Starbrand marks the site of where another shepherd (also called a Starbrand) is produced, however it’s huge and appears to have wiped out an entire college and the surrounding area.

The Starbrand is a person, given the power to defend an entire planet and there are systems in place to select an appropriate candidate. But as the system is broken, something went wrong. The Avengers assemble at the Starbrand site. In the middle of the Starbrand itself, amidst the devastation all around, is a solitary surviving naked man.

Throughout the issue, there have been single page splashes of events occurring on Earth preceding the White Event. A man proposing to his girlfriend; a man telling his friend how he thumped a guy for disrespecting a lady; a man trying to explain to his father he won’t be home for the holidays as he has important work to do and another man explaining an advanced theory in a science lecture. The new Starbrand is none of these men, just a guy that was ignored in background of each of those scenes. And now he has power on a planetary scale…
