Remember how I said I wanted to add the last Fantastic Four book to my hold?
If I had to choose between this one and that one, I’d pick this one. But I think I’ll be getting both. Mike Allred’s art is always worth getting no matter what and with Matt Fraction writing, this is certain to be gold.
I wonder if it will be tonally anything like Allred’s run on X-Force/X-Statix…
If it is, it might be my new favorite book.

Facing a relentless siege of villains with bones to pick, this team quickly realizes that the best defense against certain, uhm, Doom, is a good offense.”
