I don't necessarily want to say anything bad about this book, so let me just sum up the story. The Fantasticks have taken off in their ship to try to save Will Shakespeare, whom has been abducted by Otto Von Doom. Otto has Sandman, Medusa and a Wizard on board with him also. The Fantasticks just have a woman that Johnny is in love with, but whom is engaged to someone else. They follow each other to the end of the earth. In the battle that follows, Otto's ship is destroyed, and the Fantasticks ride theirs over the edge of the earth. It's probably just a waterfall, but, whatever. Sue uses her powers to get them all down safely, and they discover they are in the land of New Atlantis. Numenor, it's monarch is intrigued by Sue, and one of his hand maidens, Rita, is smitten by Johnny. This finally stirs some feelings in Reed. They're jealousy, but they're feelings nonetheless. The issue ends with Numenor making a deal with Otto. He'll fix Otto's face, and Otto will deliver Sue and Johnny to Numenor and Rita. One more issue left, and then this agony will be over. The artwork in this issue is also not very good. But, whatever. It'll probably still sell 80 thousand copies, even though it's mediocre at best.
