This issue slowed down the craziness enough for the story to simmer and allowed the characters to develop more. However, when it's time to escape into lunacy, it pulls you in fast and hard with ease. The art is also very exceptional and matches the pacing of the story. I highly recommend it.

This current run of Marvel's first family has a specific characteristic that separates it from every other on-going series on the shelves right now. That characteristic is the single issue or at most, two-issue stories. You can pick up any issue from this 20 plus run and you start and finish an adventure by the fantastic four right there and there.

In this issue in particular, the range of these artists is on full display. You have incredible tense action between Spider-Woman and Gremlin. It carries a terrifying Terminator vibe. There's fire bending, ice attacks, venom blasts and explosions in full bright colors.

The artwork in this series has been exceptional. This issue is no different. You have the action scenes well detailed and fluid while at the same time there's moments charged with a lot of judgement, for example (Talking about you Tony Stark), and the tone of the writing perfectly matches the emotions portrayed in the art.
