Very little happens in this comic. I don’t mean that in a bad way though, because what does happen has meaning, humour and heart. The narrative style is interesting, as it starts with Val and Franklin describing the Future Foundation to the reader (point of view style). At the end of the issue you find out exactly why.

Fraction’s writing is fun and light (the scene with Darla and Johnny Storm was my highlight – “ask someone about the thing”), and oh my god Mike Allred’s art. I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum about it, but if you like it then you’ll love it here. He gets to draw every type of character, all of the FF kids and they all look fantastic (apart from Ben Grimm maybe, but this is just personal taste perhaps). Laura Allred on colours does a fantastic job too, excellent bright colours that fit Mike’s pop art style.

Fun, sweet and tinged with moments of sadness, FF is a great read. I can’t wait for the plot to really kick in now that the team is 3/4 assembled.
