One of Marvel’s big 2018 events will be Infinity Countdown, a five-issue miniseries beginning this spring, which will see the Infinity Stones (not longer “gems”) reappear in the Marvel Universe, only to land in the hands of six unexpected new guardians.

Infinity Countdown gets a major prelude introduction with the release of Infinity Countdown: Adam Warlock this week. In promotion of that book and the event it hypes, the publisher has put out a list that details for newcomers (or longtime fans needing a refresh) just where each of the six Infinity Stones currently is.
Read on below for the breakdown:
Space
The resurrected Wolverine / Logan currently holds the Space Stone, which he went searching for after reappearing in the land of the living (as depicted inย Marvel Legacy #1.ย
Power
After the Guardians of the Galaxy joined with the Nova Corps to find the Infinity Stones, Draxย was given the Power Stone to guard – a hard task, given the massive size of the stone right now!ย
ย
Reality
Captain Marvel discovered the Reality Stone in a different dimension, where it wasย taken by a very different version ofย Alpha Flight, known as “Zeta Flight.” That universe’s heroic versions of Thanosย and Nebula now have possession of the Reality Stone.ย
Mind
The Mind Stone’s current whereabouts are unknown, but the covers forย Infinity Countdown: Primeย showย that it will be Loki who ends up wielding the Mind Stone, just like his MCUย counterpart. How he gets it, will be the interesting story.
Time
Right now the Time Stone is also out there – but we know that the Super Skrull, Kl’rt, will end up in possession of it.ย
Soul
The real pivotal piece of this puzzle is Adam Warlock’s evil alter-ego, The Magus, who will come to possess the Soul Infinity Stone. Given Warlock’s extensive and troubled history with the Soul Stone, The Magus’ interactions with it will be a major X-factor duringย Infinity Countdown.ย
