==Behind the Scenes==
===Continuity===
In Avengers: Endgame, Erik Selvig is shown to be among the victims of the Snap, while in the film's script, it is also said Jane Foster was killed by the Snap.Avengers: Endgame script by Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus The book reveals that both of them survived and went on their own quest to learn about what were the Infinity Stones. Although, it could be assumed the Avengers assumed them both to have died, with the release of Thor: Love and Thunder, it is implied that Jane Foster was snapped. Furthermore, this was corroborated by the reference book Marvel Studios 100 Objects: Iconic Artifacts from the MCU which reads "Foster is one of the unfortunate persons who disappear in the Titan Thanos' Snap in 2018, and upon her return in 2023 she is afflicted with cancer, reaching stage 4 by 2025." 
Another - whilst minor - difference between the events of this novel and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the use of the term Decimation to describe Thanos' snap. This name was not used in any other media, and it has remained largely ignored ever since. It was revealed in Spider-Man: Far From Home that the canonical in-universe name for the death of half of the universe's population, the five-year time period that followed and the resurrection of everyone who died is the Blip, which is also used in WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. However, Kevin Feige said that the Blip referred to Bruce Banner's snap in Endgame while the Snap referred to Thanos' in Avengers: Infinity War.Marvel's Kevin Feige on the MCU Multiverse, 'Far From Home' Post-Credits Scenes and The Future of Spider-Man | Fandango The Snap has also been used in-universe in other projects such as Secret Invasion.
Ultimately, this book is considered to be non-canon to the MCU continuity.
