Nonetheless, the Avengers are happy to go and minutes later reunite with the Inhumans and the Fantastic Four in the Hidden Land! Will Wanda and Pietro make peace before the wedding? How about Crystal and the Human Torch? Or Mantis and the Swordsman? Unfortunately, any and all reconciliation attempts are interrupted by Maximus, Omega, and the rampaging Alpha Primitives! And shortly thereafter the wild free-for-all begins! But the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and Inhumans should have enough firepower to stop these wedding crashers!
