Even more creative and fun uses of Susan's abilities. We need more adventures of Sue as a spy.

Super hero-turned-spy Susan Richards is tracking her former partner across the world. If her invisibility and force fields don't help her find him in time, they're both headed for execution!

Much respect to Mark Waid for taking on the daring task of introducing Sue Storm's first solo series. For starters, many casual readers frequently have mixed feelings on the Fantastic Four. They say they're boring, a repetitive act, and that they're only the slightest bit interesting only when they're together.

Waid has shined a new light to that old thinking by fleshing out Sue's role more

What's the deal with cartoony Brodok? Why is Clint so passive? He was always the proactive, somewhat stubborn, but courageous as hell guy on the Avengers roster. Why doesn't Kate call up her old YA pals? Why does Kate willingly accept Gwenpool after her "background check" rule?

Lightheartedness doesn't justify bad writing. 1. Waid and Wieringo's Fantastic Four, Waid's Daredevil, and Fraction's Hawkeye are examples of great writing with lighter tones. 2. See 1.

How is introducing BRODOK, something that hasn’t been explained yet, bad writing?

Joelle Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. And finally, a female hero who doesn't sound like she's being written with a man's voice

Not much happened to be honest. While reading this, i was confused on the continuity between this book and Two-In-One. How are Ben and Johnny on earth here when they're elseworld in the other book? The events don't line up and Slott's characterization on Johnny is questionable right now.

Zdarsky's Two-In-One had the better debut issue.
