This issue of the Fantastic Four is entirely given over to a fight between the FF and the new Frightful Four (which bears a strong resemblance to the Wrecking Crew).
But it's not a particularly creative battle - for the most part, the bad guys just use the Thing as a punching bag - but he's a crafty brawler who should be able to hold his own.
Writer James Robinson brings a few interesting twists, but mostly it's just a lot of noise and not much story.
The art by Leonard Kirk, Karl Kesel and Jay Leisten is very good - dynamic and exciting, capturing the action nicely - but so far, the story isn't holding up its end.
Grade: B-

Giving this book a B- is kind. I'm hanging on barely, but it seems to be going nowhere. I'm about start rereading the Kirkman issues of FF instead...
Sad to hear. I love the FF, but haven't been able to pick this new run up yet. Sorry to hear the story isn't working.
