Review/plot:
Hyperion and Thundra have been working as wrestling partners, but it's all part of a scheme by Roxxon. However, Hyperion actually has become enamored of Thundra, so he switches sides at the last minute. Thundra eventually uses a Roxxon interdimensional device to transfer herself and Hyperion (and some incidental Roxxon scientists) to her native Femizonia. It's the last we'll see of either of them for quite a while. It's almost a house-cleaning issue, getting rid of two characters that Marvel doesn't really want around anymore.

One of the scientists that working for Roxxon is Dr. Abner Doolittle, AKA Brother Wonderful, but not Abner Little from Kirby's Black Panther run. He was the scientist who led a group of brainwashed/mentally ill patients into another dimension during Kirby's Cap run in Captain America #202-203. He's an odd one to show up again. Thundra blasted him into Femizonia along with the other Roxxon scientists.

The scripting in this issue jumped out at me as being a little worse than the previous issues. Giant-Man is still dying from radiation poison, and the scene with him is just really flat. Foster announces that they haven't been trying to find a cure, and the Thing and Quasar are basically like "gee, that's too bad. Hey, whatever happened to Thundra?". Meanwhile Thundra gives like a two paragraph expository summary of her origin, which i suppose was necessary but it gave me Roy Thomas flashbacks.

Quality Rating: C

Historical Significance Rating: 3 - Thundra and Hyperion leave Earth.

Chronological Placement Considerations: This issue starts with the Thing depositing the Serpent Crown at Project Pegasus, and when Titania leaves this dimension he thinks to himself that he lost two women on the same day. That's not exactly accurate: Alicia and the Thing broke up the night before the Thing's Serpent Crown adventure, so at least one day has passed, probably several. But still, no other Thing appearances should occur between this issue and last.
