1. Almost a Good Idea...
Wong possessed by Nightmare! Dormammu and Umar in unholy alliance! The Hulk and the Sub-Mariner at each other's throats! The Silver Surfer...uh...surfing. Can Doctor Strange reunite the Defenders and save "Reality As We Know It?" Come to think of it, can editor Andy Schmidt save the Marvel Universe from Eisner-award-winning creators Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire? Only the Ancient One knows for sure!
2. The Hulk is besieged by the Mindless Ones!...while Doctor Strange and Prince Namor are utterly defeated by Dormammu! Meanwhile, Umar walks around talking to herself...while the Silver Surfer...uh...hangs out on the beach...?! Yes, it's action, adventure and idiocy as only Eisner-winners Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire can deliver it!
3. While Dr. Strange and the Sub-Mariner are trapped and tortured in his dungeons, the Dread Dormammu enters the cosmic essence of the entity called Eternity—absorbing his infinite power! The Hulk, meanwhile, enjoys a steamy romantic interlude with Umar (really! Would we kid you about a thing like that?)...while, back on Earth, the Silver Surfer—just sort of hangs around at the beach (which, come to think of it, is pretty much what he did last issue). Eisner Award-winners* Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire are responsible for this travesty...so don't blame us!
4. It's Dormammu's world and we're all just living in it. Ever wonder how Dr. Strange, Namor and the Hulk might have turned out had Dormammu cast their fates? Wow... That would make for such a great story. Wish we'd thought of that one before we worked up this issue's... What? We did? A rewrite? Huh. Glad I thought of that!
5. It’s the final, fateful showdown between Dormammu and everyone’s favorite non-team! Yeah. That’s it. Dormammu and Umar and the evil Dr. Strange! Oh! Oh! And a world of evil Marvel heroes! Wow... This is better than I remembered. I think we actually might have pulled it off...
