Its hard to get particularly worked up about any comic book deaths any more. Even with a writer as good as Hickman, on a title as good as this one, you know its only a matter of time before the deceased is back among us, so all we can really judge it on is whether the story itself is effective. So far, it is. So I look forward to the end of this title, the relaunch as FF, and the inevitable return to Fantastic Four just in time for issue #600, at which point FF may or may not stick around as a title focusing on the Future Foundation. Im just speculating at this point. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a fantastically tense issue, a prologue if you will, for the inevitably bad stuff that's scheduled to happen next issue. It's an artfully rendered example of how to extend and execute a set up to something that everyone knows is coming, and continue to add remarkable sense of mystery to who exactly will end up dead. "Three" has been touted as the end of the first large block of the story Hickman's been telling on this book. If this issue is any indication, it's going to finish as strongly as it began.
