The Watcher clues us in on the situation: the universe is in
danger so Silver Surfer is flying Damage Control (actually just Robin, John,
Lenny, and Bart) to the congress of the great cosmic beings. Galactus wants
them as witnesses as he stands in the company of Lord Chaos and Master Order,
Death, the In-Betweener, Oblivion, Infinity, and one late-comer, Eternity, as
they must decide what to do about Edifice Rex. And Rex is summoned, appearing
in Infinity’s hand—and giving her a manicure while he’s there. Rex spots how
much bigger everyone is so he grows to look Galactus in the eye. Rex explains
his plan: to reverse the Big Bang and draw all the universe back into the
Cosmic Egg it came from, thus tidying everything up—by ending it. Master Order
is the only one who approves so Rex heads off the make a start. The Cosmic
Beings decide to avoid confrontation with Edifice Rex and the Congress is
adjourned….
Silver Surfer returns the DC people to Earth where they
assemble every superhero they can think of in hopes that someone is powerful
enough to defeat Edifice Rex. The heroes are ready when Rex arrives—and then
John has a brilliant idea and tells Robin. Robin then tells Rex that he’s fired
and therefore unauthorized to do any cleaning. Lenny suggests Rex look into
unemployment and Henry passes out business cards to the now unnecessary
heroes….
