What the hell did I just read? McDuffie just throws stuff at the wall here and hopes something that makes sense sticks. He's really had a roller coaster ride with this book. First there is the horrible Silver Surfer in an arm lock fiasco, then he rebounds with the Frightful Four story and just when things were looking good he does something like this issue.

Basically, Reed and Panther reuse the weapon that was destroying reality to...um...redestroy reality, but then Dr Strange shows up in an outside the universe pocket reality where he is fighting the antibodies of Eternity and Storm becomes the vessel to hold Eternity while Strange...uh...operates and excises a pocket reality or something...and then they have supper at the Baxter Building. Gravity was in there doing stuff as well as the suture of the universe or something. Watcher also retconned his secret identity, which makes me wonder if he'll help Spider-Man out. Oh ya, Silver Surfer does...stuff...here as well. I'm just gonna file this one under the WTF pile and slowly back away.

Verdict - Avoid It
