Review/plot:
The Watcher falls in love with an alien princess but, after rescuing her from attacking soldiers, acts mean and aloof to her because he can not marry.

Back on earth, Johnny Storm remarks to the Thing that the Watcher has an easy job. Ah, the bitter irony!

We also learn that the Watcher's micro-brain waves are constantly attuned to signs of danger, and that he travels the universe by converting himself into mental energy.

things i learned in this issue:
1) anti-matter brings about asexual reproduction
2) Release the space beasts!
3) using your body to prevent a murder absolutely does not qualify as interference.
4) being mean to someone and calling them names is totally the best way to not hurt their feelings
