Nefaria turned up in Amazing Spider-Man recently, in a weakened state, and I couldn't remember how he got that way. It may have been here, but he pops up all the time, so who knows for sure.
Still, always fun to see how easy it is for Doom to defeat other villains.
I can't remember if this is a reference to another series or story that actually happened around this time. Maybe A+X?
Either way, love the Two-in-One callback.
I always love these moments of quiet intimacy between Reed and Sue.
Also, as a scientist, Reed should know the sugar won't keep the kids up all night. Sugar making kids "hyper" is part placebo effect and part observer bias. The caffeine in chocolate may have some effect though.
God how good is Leonard Kirk? Why don't people talk about this more?
The 1st page - Sue at the desk with all the negative space - and the DPS of the FF going into battle against Fin Fang Foom are both amazing artistically.
One reason I didn't love the run originally though is because it is, for the most part, a downer, right from page one.
Time for another Fantastic Four binge thread!
Continuing in order, I'm up to James Robinson's and Leonard Kirk's run.
I remember I didn't love it when it was serialized, but I enjoyed it a lot more this time around.
Covers weren't great though.
Doom becomes the Annihilating Conqueror, but that's all part of the plan as Darla immediately robs him of the extra power, and Scott shows up to finish the job. It's so good seeing the plan come together.
A little in-joke about how Fraction has left the book on the milk carton here.
It's not a grand plot or character arc that makes this book great. It's details and moments of humor and joy.
