    "The Shape of Things to Come!" Part 3 of 4. Script by Roy Thomas. Art by Rich Buckler (breakdowns) and Joe Sinnott (finishes). Cover by Rich Buckler and Joe Sinnott. Arkon's devious master plan is coming into focus! The warlord of Polemachus has tricked three worlds (Earth, Alternate Earth, 5th Dimension) into believing that they are under attack from one another! As the inter-dimensional battles begin, the situation looks grim. However, once the FF's Reed Richards and Alternate Earth's Reed Richards make contact with each other, the duo develops a strategy to foil Arkon! First, stop the 5th Dimension's invasion of Alternate Earth; second, destroy the swirling Nexus among all three worlds; and third, take the fight directly to Arkon on Polemachus! Sounds like a good plan...but will it be as easy as one, two, three? Cameo appearances by Gaard (Alternate Earth Johnny Storm) and Alternate Earth General Thunderbolt Ross. (Note: Dan Adkins inked the final two pages of the issue.) 32 pages Cover price $0.25.
