2.195 (560) Fantastic Four vol 2 Heroes Reborn #5 ... Marvel ... #JimLee

To each his own ... that's what we say when it comes to the master, Mr Lee's artwork and here is an example of how good his work is that inspite of the fact that more than 2 decades have slipped by, it still looks as gorgeous as when we first read it and not the slightest bit dated

Here in the Heroes Reborn corner of the Marvel U in the mid 90s, we see that the development in terms of storyline is going ahead at breakneck speed. SPOILER ALERT First up is our friends Ben and the Torch who actually worked together throughout the issue without one silly quip after another which is refreshing as it shows them able to balance down time with serious issues. And they tackle an intruder by the name of Wyatt Wingfoot. The Wyatt in the 616 regular Marvel U is a friend of Johnny Storm's. Here he is a secret agent on the run

And so he brings our friends together to go after Mr and Ms Fantastic who as of issue 4 were headed to Wakanda to investigate an anomaly that came crashing to Earth

SPOILER ALERT Naturally as the cover indicates, everyone had been side stepped or rather kidnapped by Doom as Doom had already recovered said object crashing to Earth and that object is none other than the Silver Surfer. Doom is trying to find a way to power himself using the Surfer's own life force of cosmic energy

However, unbeknownst to Doom who thinks that he is the only ruthless manipulator and double crosser in the room, there is one more in the form of yet another Wyatt and before the issue ends, both Wyatts met and one turns out to be an alien!

What an issue! What a development!
