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 in the MU. Yes she is a mother, sister, friend, and wife. But a spy? I'm wondering if he took inspiration from Hickman's Avengers run. Nonetheless, espionage and Sue Storm are a perfect pairing. Waid does a great job of showing and telling as he gives readers new and creative ways for Sue to use her powers. I underestimated how much drama and tension invisibility and force fields can create! The stakes are high, Sue has a new status quo, and she's a refreshingly competent heroine who isn't written to show up her male counterparts.
The art's also fantastic. Clear lines. Good use of lettering. Characters expressions aren't awkward and inking is on point as well. more
