Fantastic Four - The End - #3 - Marvel


I'm a little confused on this one. I'm not sure if this is the end of the Fantastic Four, or the end of our universe. The way the stories going right now, it could go either way. Here's all the stuff going on. There's a very old Dr. Strange who's trying to give his daughter Clea enlightenment. I take that he's getting ready to undergo some sort of mission, and he needs Clea ready should he not return. Then we go to the bottom of the ocean with Sue and Namor. They've just been attacked by Attuma. Sue's trying to find something in the wreckage of Atlantis. It appears to be Kree in nature. But the closer she gets, the harder it going to be for her to break free of it's grasp. It looks as if her and her ship are about to get pulled into an underground magma pool. Up on Mars, Johnny and Norrin Radd have come to visit the Thing and Alicia. Well, that's not the real reason they're here. They do want to visit, but they're actually here to see the royal Inhuman family. They want to warn them about the signal that slipped through when the galactic grid was down for a moment. But it looks as if their warning may be to late, as there is already a commotion on the planet. When they go out to investigate, they find a reactivated Kree Sentry. Meanwhile, Reed is having problems of his own. He keeps trying to send out probes, but they keep coming back fried. He can't figure out what's going on. Jennifer is up there keeping him company, but she is also in Wakanda for the royal festivities. So who's really up there with Reed? The Shi'ar are tracking some cosmic disturbances. They seem to be random but the find out they're actually waves. When they track the waves back, they originate from earth. And finally Uatu is trying some reverse psychology on Galactus. He asks him, "In your battles with the FF, when you life was theirs to take . . . you were spared. The Test, Galactus, is whether you are worthy of that primitive species compassion." Sounds like a challenge to me. That's a lot for one book. Even an FF book. But with Alan Davis and Mark Farmer at the creative helm, you now it was going to be great. Only 3 more issues to wrap this story up. I wonder how they're going to do it?
