Well well. I have to say this was dissapointing. I'll leave the full breakdown to someone else (I don't have the issue in front of me), but I'll give a brief rundown of the important parts...
The FF minus Reed are getting whupped by Namor in Times Square, when Reed shows up in his Fantastic Five-Oh, a huge mecha suit displaying all the the powers of the FF. Namor eventually rips through it, only to reveal that Reed is wearing a special helmet that turns thoughts into substance. Accidentally imagining a giant, half naked Mrs Storm, Reed manages to get his head together and 'creates' The Ultimates, Spiderman and Wolverine to lay into Namor. He uses too much energy however, and has to shut the helmet, and his 'creations' down. Johhny uses his nova blast on Namor, and Ben smacks him with a bus. Not quite enough however, as Namor suddenly summons a huge visage of Poseidon over New York, threatening to drown the city unless he gets a kiss from Sue. She obviously agrees, and gives Namor a kiss that he found to be real, and with affection. Namor returns to the waters with Poseidon, and the day is saved. Sue and heer mother are talking later on, Sue asks her who was financing all this, believing it to be Victor Van Damme. Mrs Storm finds this quite silly, and leaves without revealing her bosses name. However, as she turns, we do get to see a tattoo of a green dragon on her back......
This issue was pretty funny in places, particularly the whole giant Mrs Storm debacle, and Franklins reaction to it. However, I really hated the Fantastic Five-Oh, and I think that Reeds amazing helmet is a weak deus ex machina, and an excuse for some unnofficial guest stars. I would have hoped for Namor to be killed or apprehended, not just leaving after he got a kiss. And what the hell was the deal with Poseidon? I would have preffered to see Giganto and all those deep see freaks. The ending however, is rather interesting.
