Coming off the heels of the 100-page, 50th Anniversary, issue 600, issue 601 had a lot to live up to. I am not too sure why Ben too center stage on the cover - as to possibly not give the well known "spoiler" away... I believe the very powerful image of Johnny with the Cosmic Control Rod would have been a better choice. It certainly was the focus of the issue, anyway.
That is the only problem I had for this issue (if you could call it one). I thought it did a great job of picking up from last issue's "Forever" story - illustrating the continued trials tribulations of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes against an unrelenting foe. Luckily for them, a new ally has arrived - someone that may just be able to turn the tide against the Kree armada. This ally brings both hope and renewed fight to the battle-weary heroes. But this hope comes with great cost - for winning this battle may result in irreparable damage to Earth itself.
