General Comments

Not entirely sure what is going here, but it seems to be a typical fanboy storyline that involves virtually every Marvel character in a cosmic event.

Overall Rating

This story is so convoluted you need a scorecard.

Footnote

Spider-Man makes his typical gratuitous appears because, well he's Spider-Man, and everyone else is here.
