What a great cover. What a nice plot. But the interior work....welll......

Immonen did a decent job but, some of the panels were god awful rush jobs. Ahreane (if I spelled his name wrong, it's okay because he doesn't really deserve a correctly spelled name) didn't seem at home here.  It kind of seemed like everyone spoke the same, except for Ben (who i believe mentioned clobbering as much as Thingly possible).  Spiderman, Daredevil, The guy with the glasses (who is this? can someone tell me?), and Namor didn't seem at all themselves. Also a continuity bitch, with Brand New Day does anyone know that Spiderman loved and lost Gwen Stacy? Arheane did a terrible job with Doom and from what we know of him The Marquis. The Clyde thing seemed forced/

The ending with Ben and Debbie was nice and thought-out, more due to Millar's plot than Ahreane's script. The ending with the Marquis of Death...interesting, but it seemed really forced upon the reader quickly.

A personal note:

Up until this Millar and Hitch run on FF I had never really enjoyed Marvel books. Other than a few exceptions and Bendis' Daredevil I didn't like Marvel at all. I am disappointed by the end of this run, but I am really glad to say that I love the FF, and that I love Marvel now.  This run will be special to me probably until I'm dead or at least in a catatonic state.

I'm pretty sure the guy with the glasses was Bruce Banner...making his departed female Betty Ross

Spidey's revealed his real ID to the Avengers and the FF post-BND.

Art a three?  The Thing vs. Apprentice battle was gorgeous, as was the shot of Sue and Debbie hugging.  I also liked the page of the Thing at the bar with the shot of Debbie in wedding gown saying "I'm listening."

I thought the Spider-man speech was really powerful, btw.
