The idea to separate the FF in their first new issue wasn't great to begin with. In this second issue we learn that it was not even meant to be a concept for a whole story arc, but just an interlude with no real obstacles at all. In fact, the solution to their dilemma was a complete disappointment - an ex machina idea that North probably thinks was really clever. That, plus lazy artwork by a big n more

Hello Chris good to see your pumping out these reviews! I saw in your latest Giant Dark Phoenix review people are throwing around names at you, just ignore them. Anyone calling people a Nazi for having a different opinion on comics are children who can't have an adult conversation. Anyway I liked this ish but I see your points. Take care.

Chris Y - Aug 22, 2025

Completely agree! I don't know what their problem is. This was most likely my last review of FF. I love the team, but the last time I enjoyed the series was when Alan Davis was writer/artist for a few issues, I think over twenty years ago. I read a couple of issues now and then, only to find that I don't like it. This current run is the worst I've seen, both regarding the art and writing. See ya!

This story is basically a stand alone issue for Sue RICHARDS with a bit of Reed spread throughout (I mean that literally as Reed has never looked sillier).

We're expected to believe that Reed Richards covers the entire planet in arrows made of diamonds, that somehow haven't had a tectonic movement in 8 billion years.
