- Ego the Living Planet: You are but a simple being! I am an entire world!
- Galactus: Good. Your words are true. But in all of space, I stand alone! I am Galactus, the be-all and end-all of the universe!
- Invisible Woman: Who or what could possible do this to the God of Thunder, the most powerful being on Earth?
- The Thing: Most powerful? Hey, when did I become Wimp of the Year?
- Human Torch: Uh, April.
- The Thing: What? HEY!
- Ego the Living Planet: Across the boundless reaches of the cosmos, I have tracked my sworn enemy! Now, for his transgressions, I shall destroy your world and all its populace!
- Human Torch: Y'know, if Thor hadn't dragged your orange buns outta there, you'd have been space krispies.
- The Thing: Oh, no. Come on, you're kidding? You mean I owe my life to the Fabio of the Fjords?
- Thor: Twas Thor's privilage, Benjamin Grimm, to rescue one as noble as thee.
- The Thing: Yeah, well, don't let it go to thy bleached-blond noggin.
- [last lines]
- Galactus: Galactus bids you farewell, Reed Richards. But remember, a bargain has been struck. You have released me from my vow to spare your planet. I hunger not at this moment... but perhaps another day.
- Mr. Fantastic: Yes, another day.
- The Thing: Susie, this plan of yours better include a medical plan with a real low deductible.
- Invisible Woman: Hazard pay would be nice too, Ben.
- [Thor's hammer crashes into the Fantastic Four's home]
- The Thing: Can't that long-haired, lantern-jawed lummox ever knock?
- The Thing: [sees an unconscious Thor] Can you believe it. Somebody trashed his tush and he still looks pretty as a picture!
- Mr. Fantastic: Galactus has fed on yet another world.
- Thor: And you would seek alliance with such a villain?
- Mr. Fantastic: We have no choice, Thor.
- Galactus: Galactus shall help, not because of your laughable threat, but on his own condition. Reed Richards, I shall aid you in vanquishing Ego, provided you release me from the vow you once extracted from me: to spare you the planet called Earth.
- Thor: By Odin's beard! He would trade us one death for another!
- Mr. Fantastic: An immediate threat, for a distant one. We have no choice. Offer accepted.
- Thor: I knew not this creature until mine enchanted hammer, Mjolnir, detected Ego's presence with the first storm wind. Using the Uru hammer's power, I did unlock a portal to the very depths of space. And there I came face to face with Ego, the living planet. I learned of his mad plan to destroy Earth and engaged him in battle. But how does one, even a God, battle a planet entire? 'Twas then, with the last of my strength, I summoned thee. Perhaps where the might of the Gods hath failed, the power of reason and intellect may prevail.
- Terrax the Destroyer: Cringe before me. I am Terrax the Tamer, now herald to Galactus, devourer of worlds.
- Thor: Stand thee back, all, whilst mighty Mjolnir doth open a portal through the very fabric of space!
