This was another attempt to bring popular Magna creators into the Marvel fold.  Like those before it, it produced an inessential, mediocre “event” comic.  The Fantastic Four show up at X-Mansion to ask for help but instead Wolverine punches Thing, Thing hits back, and there’s a big, stupid brawl.  So dumb.
