The Cosmic Cube’s evolution accelerates, causing reality distortions that ripple across the Baxter Building. Reed discovers that the Cube is no longer simply tapping dimensional energy — it is creating its own, becoming a self-sustaining, multidimensional entity that may soon surpass their ability to contain it.

Sue confronts Reed about his obsession, recognizing that he’s becoming increasingly blinded by the Cube’s potential. Their argument exposes deep emotional fractures within the team, especially as Reed refuses to accept that the Cube may need to be destroyed rather than studied.

Meanwhile, Thanos intensifies his pursuit, projecting his will across cosmic space, manipulating the Cube’s newborn consciousness, and forcing the FF into a defensive stance they are far from prepared for. As the issue closes, the Cube demonstrates a terrifying new capability… one that brings Thanos closer than ever to entering Earth’s reality fully.
