COM:    Feature is a non-MU story based upon the two sets of toys licensed from Hasbro.  Appearance of GI Joe, the Autobots, Cobra, the Dreadnoks, and the Decepticons.  The Joes are protecting a new, portable power source called Power Station Alpha at Fort Lewis in Seatle, WA., attracting the attention of Cobra and both sets of Transformers.  Tired of waiting with the throng of protestors to the event, the Dreadnoks try to take the facility by themselves and fail due to the Joe presence.  Optimus sends Bumblebee to reconnoiter, and Megatron sends Bombshell to take control of the station.  The Insecticon takes over the son of one of the protestors and puts him in harms way as a diversion, and Bumblebee breaks cover to save the boy.  Unfortunately, the Joes see him as another threat, and, before he can explain, they cut him to pieces.  At story end, Bombshell takes control of Alpha's computers just as Superion arrives on the scene.

COM:  Appearance of the Joes, Cobra, Dreadnoks, Autobots, and Decepticons.  The Decepticons have reworked Alpha to be one of them and are using it to cause natural disasters around the globe, releasing vast amounts of energy.  The Autobots, Joes, and Cobra have teamed up to stop them.  Baroness rescues Mindbender, and they capture Bombshell, bringing it back to their HQ for study.  Bumblebee is rebuilt and becomes Goldbug.  All the teams gather to take on the Decepticons at their home base, while the Baroness, Scarlett, and Goldbug take on Alpha, placing remote controlled charges inside.  Mindbender sends Alpha into orbit using a reworked cybernetic helmet, where it was supposed to remain until they all decided what to do with mobile power station turned weapon.  But, through the treachery of the Cobras, it is destroyed, making the Autobots question their relationship with humans.  With the threat gone, everyone goes their separate ways, but, at story end, Larkin, who had betrayed Hawk, is shot by Cobra-tying up loose ends-and Tony returns to normal.

COM:    Fantastic Four and Skrulls appearance.  Surfer escapes the Barrier and the Skrulls, frozen in their current forms, have begun their campaign of getting them before they get us, a prelude to the second Kree-Skrull War.  Surfer tries again to escape the barrier placed around Earth by his old master and fails, encountering the FF who had come to investigate the hole he'd made in the ozone layer.  He is attacked by Champion, who had been hired by the Skrulls to kill him, but defeats him, only to find that the Skrulls have kidnapped Nova to force Galactus to attack the planets of their many enemies.  Surfer remembers back to all the trouble he's had trying to penetrate the Barrier (Alicia, Shalla Bal, Doctor Doom, Human Torch II, Al Harper, Mephisto, and Hulk all appear in the flashback), and Ben of all people suggests the solution, that all along it's been the board that can't penetrate the Barrier, not the Surfer himself.  The plan succeeds, and the Surfer flies off  and strikes a deal with Galactus.  He rescues Nova, flying faster than the explosion of her rigged cell, and in payment, Galactus removes the Barrier all together; and, at story end, the Surfer is truly free once more.     Double Size issue.  New logo design by Alex Day.

PC:    Silver Surfer, Empress Shalla Bal, Tallim Pay, ~ Ptakr, Agent Al'Arok.
COM:    Skrulls appearance.  Shalla appears as an Empress for the first time.  Free of Earth, Surfer returns home to Zenn-La and is reunited with Shalla. A brief explanation of how she was made Empress follows, and, while she attends to matters of state, Surfer remakes his old house.  Shalla approached by the Skrulls supposedly to open trade agreements, but when an attempt is made on the life of the Surfer, it is learned that they had hoped to force their allegiance to the new Skrull Emperor Kylor (1st mention).  Shalla declares that she want to remain neutral in the approaching war with the Kree and Shi'ar, and Surfer sends him on his way with the assertion that he would protect the planet from anyone who raised a hand against them.  Afterward, Surfer asks Shalla to marry him and she refuses, saying, as Empress her time isn't her own and she didn't want him to undermine the reclaiming of her people's self reliance.  Surfer gets the picture, and, after agreeing to stand by his word to protect the planet, he dissolves his old homestead and, at story end, returns to space.
