Following the heavy fallout of recent global and cosmic conflicts, this issue takes a step back to focus on the deeply complicated Grayson family dynamic. Mark and a heavily pregnant Eve travel to the moon base for what is supposed to be a quiet family dinner with Nolan and Debbie. However, underlying tensions quickly rise to the surface when secret pregnancy details are spilled prematurely, exposing old wounds and lingering distrust. To break the awkward atmosphere and test their limits, Mark and Nolan engage in a friendly yet brutal arm-wrestling match to finally determine who is the strongest Viltrumite.

Meanwhile, across the cosmos, Battle Beast continues his relentless crusade of slaughtering oppressive alien regimes in his endless quest for a glorious fight. His thirst for battle is answered when Allen the Alien approaches him with a top-secret proposition. Tracking the coordinates of a legendary Viltrumite homeworld, Allen gives the fearsome warrior a deadly mandate: hunt down and assassinate the exiled former Grand Regent, Thragg.
