There's one huge thing that really took me out of the story here - Thing and Human Torch use way too many Briticisms. Sometimes it's words like "holiday" instead of "vacation" and sometimes it's "walkabout" instead of "out for a walk". Other times it's phrases that just don't sound right. The Fantastic Four live in New York and should speak like it. What took me out of the story even more was the way Davis wrote Thing. He was way too smart. Davis tries to lampshade it by having Doctor Strange say "so you learned a few words from Reed", but it just doesn't work. Here's a great example of some phrasing that just doesn't work for me (speaking of a grave): "Looks like one of the tenants has gone on a walkabout". Does that sound like Ben Grimm?
The story itself is weird and doesn't really make much sense. When you get to the end you realize it's because Alan Davis is writing 3 annuals this year. Great, so we get to hear Daredevil and Wolverine sound like Brits. Hurray!
