There's also a cute little moment where we see Spider-Man recognizes that his brief stint as the more beloved half in this duo has to come to an end, as he lets Johnny save the endangered Squiddy McSquid, and become the belle of the ball once again while he becomes an object of scorn. There's also a couple cute little moments like the brief appearance by the Thing, and the final gag that ends the story. As for the secondary story, it's an eye-opening look at Reed's life before he took his trip into space, but frankly this story was a rather hurried affair that didn't leave much room for much. As for the art Mike Wieringo has a grand old time on the opening story, as it's essentially an extended action sequence, loaded with visual gags, and his high energy style is perfectly tailored for a story like this. We also get Paul Smith on the back-up story, and he delivers some lovely work, with Reed's emergence from the energy portal being the visual highlight. Read Full Review

The laid back and comedic tone Waid has set in these last two issues is incredible. I loved when Ben was watching Spidey and Johnny get pummeled by Hydro-Man and started recording on his TV. Great issue was AWESOME art
