Fantastic Four #29 is a good start to the tie-in storyline, though it focuses so much on Sky it may lose readers. Instead of this being about the team, it has decided to tie its cart to this rather new character. The emotional story works in a clever way, though, and gives the story purpose. Read Full Review

Crossovers hardly ever capture the essence of the characters the tie-ins are supposed to represent, but Slott finds an interesting way to tell this FF story as a parallel to previous King in Black issues. Read Full Review

One thing you dont normally see is a bunch of heroes just popping up but this issue had them all over in the backgrounds, which in a way isnt the norm with event tie-ins. Usually, its a more secluded setting for whoevers book it is and then it brings them in near the end of the main series. Sadly, I felt like the end twist in Fantastic Four #29 happened off-panel and it was a letdown. That said, if you are an event completist, youll not want to miss the Fantastic Fours involvement in King In Black. Read Full Review

Dan Slott's FF has been a pleasant and enjoyable read from the start, and even though Tie-ins rarely have the same quality as the main story this one still managed to be likeable

There is fine difference between being a jerk and being careful about something. Sue was written as jerk not as careful big sister and kinda mother.
I get it why she doing that. But way she is written doing makes her a jerk. I get that Sue is having her doubt on Soulmate Thing but Johnny is also an adult. She should be written as careful sister but not as sister who is spying on her adult brother.

so uhhhh...if you know Dan Slott, he occasionally throws characters under the bus for the sake of his story.

RIP Sue Storm

It was pretty good. Nothing to complain about but nothing too great either. I kind of like the sky character so I hope she sticks around and this was a pretty good tie in overall.

I liked parts of the issue. It only kind of fits in with everything else, which is annoying. And Sue comes across really bad here, even though I feel like the essence of what she's doing - trying to protect her brother - is on point. The way in which she's written is very off.

With their conflict with the Griever now concluded, the Fantastic Four rebuild while Johnny and Sky take the opportunity to get to know one another better. As Johnny begins to realize how much Sky sacrificed to be with him on Earth, their peace is shattered as Knull has begun his conquest over the Earth. Johnny buys Spider-Man time to escape to Reed’s lab and unbeknownst to Sue, falls victim to Knull’s influence. Due to their bond, Sky is taken by the symbiotes and unleashes upon Sue. Barely able to escape, Sue reconvenes at Reed’s lab and the two contact Ben to regroup, unaware Ben too has been assimilated into the symbiotic hive.

Something about this issue didn’t read right with me. Sue was not written as her normal strong and confident self. To me, Sue has always been that pilot of a strong female character but I didn’t see any of that here.
