That's because it gets to the heart of the series - our heroes rescuing those in need of saving, cracking jokes and smacking heads along the way.
It doesn't hurt that this issue focuses on the Thing and Rocket Raccoon - a great comedy team if ever there was one.
Their mission is to free a planet of slaves, so expect lots of clobbering and shooting - and perhaps even some romance (although it may just be classified as consensual space sex).
I love the cover by Art Adams, which evokes John Carter of Mars, and the interior art by Valerio Schiti is terrific, with expressive characters and over-the-top action sequences.
As always, writer Brian Michael Bendis puts the focus on the humor and the dialogue - and turns in a real gem.
My only complaint is that there's still no Fantastic Four comic. COME ON, MARVEL!
Grade: A
