Interesting. Could this mean that the movies are setting up the arrival of Galactus?

Full marks for this storyline. Kirby and Lee are in their prime here and finally Joe Sinnott has come on board to ink Kirby the way he should be inked. All this breathless action and cosmic mayhem is done in two issues, too! (Unlike the 20 something issues it takes writers nowadays to tell a simple story)
