The story open in a Silver Age comic book as the Sentry battles Super-Skrull and the Void (special guest appearance by Thor!), then we pull back to learn that the comic book is being read by Robert Reynolds, as Captain America and Iron Man attempt to discover who he really is….

Today, in battle with the Wrecker, Wolverine comes down for a hard landing after being hurled into the air by his foe. Wrecker demands that Spider-Woman show him how to fly the Quinjet out of there. She responds that she only wants to help. She asks if this is all he wants out of life, an existence in prison or on the run.

Spider-Woman reveals that she releases a pheromone that attracts men to her; the male heroes now understand their sudden amorous feelings toward her. A hologram Iron Man appears to summon them to Hartford, Connecticut….

Emma Frost appears on the tube and tells him to go outside…where the Avengers and a multitude of heroes are assembled on the lawn. Reynolds sinks to his knees and informs them that the Void has arrived and there’s nothing they can do to stop it….
