CROSSOVER PART 2
The Fantastic Four are being pursued by the most unlikely of enemies on an alternate Earth - the Marvel Zombies. And the only ally they can turn to is...Magneto?
Any doubts that I had about Greg Land's new style went completely out the window when I hit this issue's absolutely gorgeous double-page spread. That has to be one of the best visual introductions that a character has ever received, and this is doubly impressive when one considers that character in question doesn't even show up until after this attack has ended. In fact, this issue is full of lovely visual moments, from the chaos where Reed works to escape his evil counterpart, to the wonderful moment where readers discover that Spider-Man is one of the infected. The panel where the Hulk smashes has way into the comic is also an amazing piece of art, and while the last page is essentially a repeat performance of the final shot of the previous issue, how can one not love the sheer evil that is projected by this closing image?

It explained the very beginning of marvel zombies universe, even before dead days. This is a nice story and the ending was horrific as hell. I don't like this ultimate Reed to be this stupid and naive, but it doesn't make this comic worse. I mean, if he was a genius (really), then this story just would not exist.
