As Protector of the Universe and de facto defender of Earth, the Kree Captain Mar-Vell has triumphed over foes large and small. But when Mar-Vell is diagnosed with cancer, he fi nds himself face-to-face with a foe that even his vast might can't defeat...and both he, and a universe that loves him, must rally together to accept the inevitable. Plus, look back at the seminal battle with Nitro that infected Captain Marvel years before - and, in the midst of a battle with Titan's planet-sized computer system, now corrupted by the madness of Thanos, witness the budding romance between Mar-Vell and his true love Elysius!

In the first reprinted issue, Captain Marvel battles the exploding villain Nitro to recover a stolen canister of deadly nerve gas. This is a key issue as it sets up the situation that would result in Mar-Vell's eventual death, but other than that it's unremarkable. The script is cheesy (never was an Englehart fan) and Starlin's art isn't at its best. Nitro is such a cliche dastardly villain I was surprised he didn't tie Carol Danvers to the tracks or complain that he would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that blasted Kree soldier.
The two Marvel Spotlight issues are somewhat confusing. Despite being the first two issues in a new series, the reader is dropped into the middle of what appears to be a story in progress. After some research, I discovered that this is the tail end of a story that had been going on in Captain Marvel's series when it was cancelled. I don't know why Marvel decided not to reprint those issues as well. The story and art are good, but they don't seem to have much to do with the centerpiece of this collection. Maybe they just wanted to give readers some familiarity with the world of Titan and Mar-vell's supporting cast.
Finally, there is the book that gives this collection its title. Several years after his exposure to the nerve toxin, Mar-Vell finds himself dying of cancer. The news spreads across the Marvel Universe, and all of Mar-Vell's friends gather to see him one last time. In the end, despite his physical incapacitation, Mar-Vell goes out like a warrior. This touching story earns the book four stars. (
