    Dagger was foolish, but brave to take on Galactus like that.

    We begin with a flashback to the Ultimatum Wave where we see Tandy(way before she got her powers) and her mother trying to get to safety. But Tandy wants to help other people, but her mother insists they have to save themselves. Tandy then see the Peter Parker Spider-Man swing by with someone, trying to get that person to safety.

    Cut back to present day, Dagger tells Cloak that they need to help. Dagger convinces Cloak to teleport them both close to Galactus to attack him. Cloak agrees, but under strong protest. Dagger throws some light daggers at Galactus but it obviously does nothing.

    Cut to the Ultimates. Captain America orders the rest of the Ultimates to get people to safety, and Miles and Spider-Woman split off to a playground where a bunch of kids are sitting scared. We then cut back to the Ultimatum Wave, and see how Miles and his mom and dad got themselves to safety.

    Back to present day, we find Lana (also known as Bombshell), completely oblivious to everything that is happening, until an ex boyfriend of hers, snap her out of it, just in time for him to be crushed by a car. She sheds some tears then see´s the Ultimates fly by overhead, and decides to follow, with the help of her powers.

    She eventually meets up with Miles and Spider-Woman and asks what she can do, as Miles leaves with a little boy, trying to find his dad. Lana sees some people looting stores, and go off and stops them. Spider-Woman comes over and compliments her.

    Miles arrive with the boy at his house, and the dad comes rushing to meet them, incredibly grateful. We switch back to Cloak and Dagger, who decides to help people get away with Cloaks powers, but Cloak realizes with horror that his powers are not enough to take all of them.

    Miles locates his dad and is happy to see he is okay. His father however, gets angry because of his hate of superheroes, so Miles unmasks to convince his father to come with him. And there ends the issue.

    Wow, once again, sorry, this issue had so much happening, it was hard to summarize it any shorter than this. What an issue too. I liked the call back to Ultimatum. Didn´t see that coming actually. Was nice to see Tandy wanting to help people way before she even got her powers.

    If there was one thing I had to complain about the issue, it would be Lana´s reaction to watching her ex boyfriend(I´m assuming that´s what he was, it was never really made clear) getting crushed by a car.

    Sure, she did cry a little over it, but it seemed like she got over it a bit too quickly. Sure, there´s a lot going on, and there´s more time to grieve later, I´m just sayin. But that´s a minor nitpick. Other than that, this issue was perfect. Especially that cliffhanger at the end. Holy crap, am I looking forward to how that resolves itself!
