3.18 (748) Fantastic Four vol 1 #554 ... #FF ... #BryanHitch ...

[This is posted on 1st Dec 2017]

The main highlight of this issue is artist Bryan Hitch who had just finished a huge super successful run on Ultimates vol 1 and 2 and while his work may be late and the covers less than inspiring, the interiors are mind-blowingly good that everyone is willing to wait and apparently that is the main reason why anticipation was running high when he and writer Millar came onboard the FF. That's probably why there was a huge print run and thus back issue prices are slow to increase which is good for folks like us who buy them from the discount bins hehehe!

So did the issue have spectacular art? Yes

Is the issue enjoyable? A bit harder to say because Millar used this to start off many plotlines simultaneously hence while there is no earth shattering crises but we get to see many brewing and the cover kinda spoiled everything anyway

Who is Mrs Fantastic? Basically we get to see Reed's other love prior to Susan who is a genius as well and hot and an adventurer to boot. Suffice to say Sue has nothing to worry because his ex has also got herself another man already

Susan's new team is basically Susan going out to the superhuman committee to meet some of the other ladies and trying to see if she can organize a group to do works together not so much superheroic save the world but more awareness and charity (we do not like that word sorry) stuff

And as the cover indicates, the entire family is back and the problem is going to start soon thanks to Reed's ex. So seatbelts people because with the next issue, it's going to BURN

Ratings: 6/10
