Final Thoughts:I'm really digging each issue as we go along! The artwork is very good and the dialogue is just Fantastic. I really believe that Dan Slott nails down each member of the team. I would recommend this issue to anyone. However, maybe they should start with part two of the story arc first. As interesting as this issue is, I do wish we would see more from the Overseer. This issue didn't wow me but I definitely had a great time reading it. You should definitely check it out! Read Full Review
Man, I really love this story arc
" Whatsit look like ? I'm fightin' the systèm ! Helpin' downtrodden and oppressed ! "
- THE THING
Another solid entry. I think it was a lot of fun and thats what this series is about. The art was great and looked to suit the story well. I am enjoying this points of origin story.
Enough
Sue and Reed figure out the big secrets as Johnny and Ben end up on opposing sides of the monster revolution. It's a fun, speedy story, with excellent character work on Ben and Sue in particular. But the idea of the Overseer's flagrant evil going unaddressed for decades waiting for some heroes to fix it is so Captain-Planet-level simplistic that the author seems downright hesitant to focus on it. That, I think, is what creates the frustrating "do all the Spyricans understand the situation or not?" ambiguity.
Kudos to Ben and the writer for memorably bullseye-ing the theme, though: "This ain't no perfect world. Not if it ain't built fer everybody!"
This issue is okay. I really enjoy all the stuff with Ben Grimm. I just love how he's written. The rest is fine. It's not bad, but it really isn't on the same level. I honestly think Dan Slott would do better on a classic Two-In-One book. But hey, at least this issue finally makes a significant move in tying the story back into the FF's origin.
… So does everybody know about the cosmic rays turning people into monsters thing or don’t they? The only good thing here is Big King Grimm.
