Poison Ivy fan - Sep 11, 2024

How could you rate any issue with Poison Ivy in it only a 6? Didn't you like the scene where she had Sgt Bullock under her control and foiled his attempt to grab and arrest her?

While the Maker psychologically torturing Reed is definitely something that he would do, I unfortunately felt lost at times with how much the narrative jumped around. Additionally I'm tired of seeing the Fantastic Four being brutalized even though I'm sure
Camp didn't do it with malice. Not a terrible comic, just not one I had a lot of fun reading.
