This is going to send intensely nitpicky, but in Hickman’s run, didn’t he set it up that Ben would become human for a WEEK a year, not a day?
That’s how I recalled it.
The wiki agrees!!!
Looks like my concern was only an issue with the solicits and in the story itself they got it correct. Still, I feel like at the end of last issue they might have screwed up too. Alas I am too lazy to check. No No Prize for me.
Getting the first dozen of these by subscription.
And then no more forever…
That is the exact same way I feel about FF, I could (and will) read this book forever.
Any issue that is Ben-centric will be one of my favorites!
This was a great issue. And again, since a very long time I really thought Bagley’s art was brilliant. especially in the scene in the rain.
I agree about Bagley’s art, there were two separate inkers, and I personally liked the look of the Yancy street scenes more than previous issues.
With the right inker, his art can look quite nice. With a bad inker, like he had for most of his DC run, his art looks like a child’s cartoonish scribbles.
I thought his art looked better in this issue too. It reminded me of Alan Davis.
Strong issue all around.
I Loved Hickman’s Run and FF is really great but I really can’t get behind this series, and I feel like I’ll give this one more issues before I drop it.
I agree with you. I have read Fantastic Four since Byrne’s run and this is the 1st time I have not enjoyed a Fantastic Four run. I dropped the book as of this issue, which was a very hard choice for me. But there’s just something missing from Fraction’s run so far. I have not really enjoyed it at all.
The solicitation for this issue had me less than excited. Glad that whomever wrote the solicitation doesn’t write the book; it really was fantastic…(yeah I know what I did there) Bagley and Fraction are doing great work.
