THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF GORMUU AND THE LAST GALACTUS STORY!

It begins with the FF, the Inhumans, a wedding and a war between Kree and Skrull on the Moon! Then, the FF and Wyatt Wingfoot face a galactic menace who has landed in remote Oklahoma with a message: “I claim this planet!” The two-part tangle with Terminus is one for the ages! Meanwhile, Reed shares a tale of alien invasion by the giant green monster, Gormuu, before setting off on a time-traveling journey that will bring him up close with cowboys, aliens and his time-tramping father. As the relationship between She-Hulk and Wyatt grows more intimate, the demonic Mephisto rears his awful head and the Thing returns from Battleworld! Plus: John Byrne’s unfinished cosmic masterpiece “The Last Galactus Story.”
