Doctor Strange
is missing so the Defenders (Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Valkyrie, Silver Surfer) and the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Scarlet Witch,
Vision) take the one clue, the Ichor of Ish’izog, to the Fantastic Four (Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Thing, Human Torch) to see if the FF can uncover
any info. Reed analyzes the Ichor and discovers…nothing…literally….
Meanwhile,
Dr Strange’s astral form uses the Silver Surfboard to transport his comatose
body to Galactus’ ship and the World Devourer wants to know where his herald is….
Back
on Earth, Scarlet Witch, Vision, and the Surfer go to Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum
where they are admitted by Wong. Wanda consults the Orb of Agamotto to locate
Strange and even she is surprised that the Orb obeys her. The Orb bursts open
and Mephisto emerges, ready to exact his revenge against the Silver Surfer,
first banishing his board and then enwrapping them all in his tentacles….
In
Asgard, Thor and Valkyrie arrive at the Rainbow Bridge to be greeted by the Warriors Three.
Their plan is to ask the all-seeing Heimdall if he can locate Dr.
Strange; instead, Heimdall accuses Thor of being an impostor and attacks him….
At
Avengers Mansion, Iron Man sets up a unit to detect the dimensional rift, with
Hulk on hand to smash any monsters that may come through. Instead, a trio of
wacky racecars burst through, shattering reality….
At
the Baxter Building, Daredevil enters carrying the unconscious Spider-Man who
has been knocked out by the intensity of his Spider-Sense. The wacky racecars
smash through into this reality, pulling with them Hulk, Thor and Valkyrie,
Wanda, Vision, and Silver Surfer. Cap loses the container of Ichor, Thor brings
the race to a halt in a cartoon land where they face a hero team called the
Unbelievables (Mighty Martian, Devil Dawg, Vampire Vixen, Sun Wukong, Sha
Wujing). Hulk insults the tiny Devil Dawg, who grows into a huge demon and
clobbers him, touching off a battle between the three teams. In the confusion,
Val discovers Diablo hiding and he insists he isn’t controlling any of this,
handing her his Tarot cards, which she slices in half…
…while
Dr. Strange discovers Galactus has never heard of Earth, indicating he has gone
back in time. Reality breaks again and the heroes find their identities
bizarrely scrambled, making them Doc Surf, Major Gamma, The Hulkoid, Scarlet
Strange, Sturm Meister, Reaper, Eiserne Jungfrau, Imperius Hex, Gadget, and
Captain Cosmos. Doc Surf uses the Eye of Agamotto to see into Diablo’s mind but
there is an interruption: the Unbelievables crash through, intending to save
the cosmic order by destroying the heroes….
