A Skrull Walks Among Us!

Standing in stark contrast to last month's issue, this month sees the Fantastic Four get back into action against the Skrulls (last seen way back in issue 2) and their latest menace—The Super Skrull. Having had Doctor Doom andNamor amongst others make repeat appearances in the series, it was only a matter of time before we were treated to the resurgence of The Skrull; and it's a welcome one at that now that Doctor Doom has gotten a little stale as of late. What results is a fairly non-stop action packed issue that flows nicely and uses the Four's powers both individually and as a collective very well. Not only this but we get the usual banter and opening panel comedic elements thrown in there for good measure too—a well rounded, refreshing and more than welcome story, featuring one of the best covers yet.

"A Skrull Walks Among Us!" reintroduces the intergalactic threat of the shape-shifting Skrulls. After their advance party voluntarily turned themselves into cows (don't ask) last year, the Skrull Emperor thinks one 'Super Skrull' can do the job better (why these guys don't just go ahead and launch a full scale invasion is beyond me).  Imbuing one Skrull with the power of all the members of the FF, with a little extra in each case, the Super Skrull is sent to earth to defeat the Fantastic Four on...
