Ultraverse The 7th Infinity Gem

Can anybody tell me what issues are involved in this storyline? I believe that it is a crossover with Malibu or something

Back when Marvel bought the Ultraverse, they relaunched it with Black 'Inifinity' Issues for Mantra, Siren, Ultraforce (starring Black Knight from the MU), Prime, All-New Exiles (starring Juggernaut, Sienna Blaze and Reaper from the MU), Night Man and Rune. They were pretty much divorced from most previous continuity but were good fun, if not great, books - Ellis' Ultraforce was especially good.

Ultraforce #8 featured a scene with BK and Sersi which mirrored a scene that had happened a year previously in the Avengers (just before the Crossing); following that there was a prelude and two crossover issues:

Ultraforce/Avengers and Avengers Ultraforce (and look, the Perez covers fit together! How 90s!):

I seem to recall that these involved the Infinty Gems in some way (hence the cover to the prelude) but not sure how. There was also some kind of X-Men crossover with the Phoenix Force in the Ultraverse but I forget what issues that was in - possibly some backups in the monthly and a couple of one-shots.

The lost 7th infinity gem which will never be mentioned again.

Story basically starts with the Ultraverse crossover mini series "Godwheel" where the last issue , they accidentially summoned Thor from the regular 616 earth. When Thor was going back to the marvel universe , Rune attacked and followed him through leading to the "Rune/Silver Surfer" one-shot crossover.

Unknown to all at that time , Loki had also stepped through the portal to the ultraverse and stayed behind in the ultraverse. After the events of "Rune/Silver Surfer" where the infinity gems were scattered all over the ultraverse , Loki learned of them and start to gather them up leading to "Ultraforce/Avengers".

Wow. I'd forgotten all about Godwheel and Rune being stuck in the MU for a while - along with a copy of Night Man, right?

EDIT: Thanks for the link -the timeline had obviously got screwed up in my head; the Infinity issues that relaunched the Ultraverse came after the Ultraforce/Avengers thing, not before it.

Night man got split in the aftermath of the black september thingy.
