Synopsis

A hand (later shown to be that of assistant editor Kurt Busiek) is reaching for a telephone. Each subsequent page shows a telephone call being made to a different hero (or group of heroes) trying to obtain information about them to include in the issue, all without success. Towards the end, Captain America shows up at the Marvel offices to berate them for tying up his hotline, where he is then attacked by the Porcupine. Many other heroes and villains join in for a massive brawl. The story ends with Jim Salicrup calling Virginia Romita, saying this issue of Marvel Age may be a little late.
