Review/plot: This is a particularly weak issue. The Sub-Mariner can't stand it anymore so he dresses up in a nice suit and comes to ask Sue if he loves her.

When she can't answer him, he kidnaps her and gives her 24 hours to decide if she loves him or Reed. She tells Namor that she loves Reed. Reed was going to pop the question this issue, but at the end he thinks that she told Namor she loves Reed just to stop them from fighting.

When Sue is kidnapped, Reed goes after her alone, so the Human Torch and the Thing feel that they need to summon Dr. Strange for help.

Why? It's not a mystical threat. It makes no sense. Dr. Strange teleports them to Atlantis, where there's a big fight.

This issue starts with a creepy scene of Reed undressing a virtual Sue using a "thought projector".

Quality Rating: D

Sue Storm is a tease. "Sorry if you misunderstood...the affection I felt." yeah, right. like she hasn't spent a few issues mooning over Namor's photo (that she got where?) and wondering who she liked more. she prolly just finally realized the shopping opportunities were better if she stayed with Reed.
