    You're Losing Me......

    Let's get this out of the way. I love the Fantastic Four. I always have. I will read you to the bitter end. But......
     
    I really hope this is the last 'set up' issue. I love the direction, the anticipation of what's to come and the artwork but let's get on with it. This is four issues in a row with very little action and even more questions that need answering. Not everyone may have the devotion or patience I have and I hate the idea that people may be dropping this book because of the slow pace.

    This needs to get going. Get some action and suspense started and begin tying this together.

We all thought that the Blue area of the moon was ...

      Negative Zone madness! Johnny Storm ventures into the negative zone. I haven't picked up a F4 book in quite some time, and I know I've missed out on a lot of stuff, but luckily, Marvel has those sweet catch-up pages to let me know what I've missed out on since the last time I truly read a F4 book, when Human Torch was a herald of Galactus, during Disassembled.  The Good I enjoyed some of the more action-orientated splash panels in this issue, Hickman's writing is usually pretty strong, but ...
