Ah, now that's more like it.
This issue of Fantastic Four feels much more like "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine!"
It's not perfect, mind you. A bit of the issue is bogged down with some housekeeping. The team must return from the alternate dimension / universe / whatever where they've been trapped - an easy task for Reed Richards and his daughter Valeria (they have some nice father / child moments here).
Once back, they find another team has taken their place - but what might have a been a lot of sturm and drang is instead handled in a clever, fun fashion.
It feels much more like the balance of action, adventure, comedy and smart storytelling that we've been missing for far too long.
Dan Slott provides a terrific script, and Stefano Casselli and Nico Leon provide lots of dynamic artwork (with a nice comedic touch on display).
The series isn't quite there yet, but this is the best issue yet!
More like this, please!
