Fantastic Four - The End - #5 - Marvel


We're coming to the end of this story, but for the Fantastic Four, of course, that just means that the story is going to get even more frantic and involved. I mean, we only have 1 more book in this mini-series, and the final splash page, in this issue, is the entire Kree and Shi'ar warfleets descending upon our galaxy. And that's the beginning of the final book? Well if we get nothing else out of a Fantastic Four storyline, and that's not to say you don't because you do, you get consistency. Because the Fantastic Four are consistently in the deep end of the pool. And they consistently have to paddle like hell to get out of it. And they consistently prove that they work together better as a team, and a family than they do as individuals. Actually, what I mean to say, is that they each have their strengths and talents, and are formidable individually, but when they come together, they are near to unstoppable. And in this book, they finally do all come back together. Johnny and the Thing, along with the Avengers and the Inhumans, have finally beaten the Kree Sentinel on Mars. But not before it got a signal sent out. Which is pointed right at the satellite where Reed is. Also Susan has descended into the depths of the earth, literally, and has found the Orb of Gnomon and has returned with it to Doctor Strange and his daughter. And with that, they also head to the satellite where Reed is. And speaking of Reed, he's been sucked in to the Negative Zone with the Super Skrull, and is at the feet of Annihilus. But, having arrived at the satellite shortly before anybody else, Johnny and Ben, knowing what has happened to Reed, go in to the Zone to bring him back. They are successful at the task, and everyone arrives back at the satellite almost simultaneously. But there's not much time for a reunion, because as I said before, we are about to be invaded by the entire Kree and Shi'ar warfleet. Is that enough action for one issue for ya? Also, as I said before, they only have 1 more issue to pull their fat out of the fire, and wrap this up. Can it be done? Well . . . this is the FF. The fun is in seeing how they do it. What a ride!
