Getting Close to the End
While I'm not keen on Bobillo's art, I do really like that he makes Valeria and the other kids actually look their age. The story is going at a very slow pace and I'm very anxious to see just how Hickman ties the the events of FF and Fantastic Four together. It started off as a story about the Reeds back in Fantastic Four then it added in the Universal Inhumans and the Kree. Now those stories appear to have split off, but they're still somewhat related. I'd like to see just how it all fits together. Hickman is doing a great job with the story; I just think with how much he's cramming into the story that this is going to read as a phenomenal trade while those of us reading the monthlies are dying to see where it all eventually leads to! After all, it's been over two years (issue 570 Oct 2009) since this story started. The story telling has been phenomenal but we need some climax!
This story continues from last week when they decided to help grey Reed. They go through the portal and we get to see (again or for the first time depending on how long you've been reading Marvel comics) just how powerful Franklin is.
There's also some more flashback to Val and Nate working together.
FF turned out to be my favorite issue this week and I used it for my POW!. If you want to see me debate the merits of the issue with Dan (it is spoileriffic so know that going in), then check it out here.
