When the chaos spills into the city, Steve and Sharon enjoy a quiet day until Captain America steps in, and Namorita takes Wundarr off Ben’s hands. Back at the Baxter Building, a shocking twist unfolds: a woman from the far future has arrived through one of Reed’s experiments, bringing with her a terrifying vision of Earth’s downfall at the hands of the Badoon. Cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia captures the moment with bold, dynamic energy.
In "Doomsday 3014!", the Thing takes Wundarr to the zoo, but the childlike alien’s well-meaning antics send the animals into chaos—just as Steve and Sharon are enjoying a rare quiet day. When the situation spirals, Cap steps in to help, and soon Namorita takes Wundarr off Ben’s hands. Back at the Baxter Building, the team is stunned when a mysterious woman from the far future appears, claiming Earth’s doom is already sealed. Her chilling story of Earth’s subjugation by the Badoon sets the stage for a desperate mission—Reed sends The Thing, Cap, and Sharon back to 3014 to change the fate of humanity.
In the year 3018, the Thing, Captain America, and Sharon Carter find themselves thrust into a desperate future where Earth is under siege by the Badoon. Joined by the Guardians of the Galaxy, they must unite against an alien empire threatening to erase humanity’s last stand.
In "Savage Time!", the Defenders join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy on a mission that spans time, racing through the terrors of a distant future to restore balance. As past and future collide, they uncover echoes of what’s to come—before the timeline itself unravels.
When the Badoon assault the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vance Astro and Valkyrie are flung to one distant world, while Yondu and the Hulk land on another—each stranded with no memory of how they got there, and no way to return. The fate of Earth hangs in the balance as the team is scattered across three worlds, each facing its own alien threat.
In "My Mother, the Badoon!", Jo finds herself caught in a bizarre cosmic game when the Badoon seize Nighthawk, Charlie-27, and Martinex—only to reveal a shocking connection that upends everything she thought she knew. With Starhawk helping Vance Astro and Valkyrie return to Earth and Hulk and Yondu forced into the deadly Super-Death Sweepstakes, Jo must confront the truth behind her origins before the Badoon’s plans come to full fruition.
