Cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito (with John Romita touch-ups). Gorgon and Lockjaw arrive at Avengers Mansion to take Earth's Mightiest Heroes to Attilan for the wedding of Crystal and Quicksilver! Just one small problem though…the Avengers much less the Scarlet Witch never received an invitation from Pietro! Nonetheless, the Avengers are happy to go and minutes later reunite with the Inhumans and the Fantastic Four in the Hidden Land! Will Wanda and Pietro make peace before the wedding? How about Crystal and the Human Torch? Or Mantis and the Swordsman? Unfortunately, any and all reconciliation attempts are interrupted by Maximus, Omega, and the rampaging Alpha Primitives! And shortly thereafter the wild free-for-all begins! But the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and Inhumans should have enough firepower to stop these wedding crashers! Unless there is one more lurking in the shadows! Perhaps a certain adamantium wedding crasher! Oh yes, the day that began as blissful as heaven…becomes an awesome encounter with Ultron-7! Story continues in Fantastic Four 150 (part 2). Cameo appearances by Agatha Harkness and Franklin Richards. Flashback cameo by Omega to recap the events of Fantastic Four 131 and 132.
