This new Fantastic Four thing is playing out quite nicely. But you know, Reed and Sue are never very far away. Anyways, last issue our team came up against the Silver Surfer when they were out looking for the body of Gravity. A young hero who recently died. They find it, but it's in the protection of Epoch. She realizes the Gravity is just in a Chrysalis state, and when he comes out of it, she grants him the cosmic power & awareness to be the new Protector of the Universe. Black Panther, during all of this, has gone back to Earth to gather some things. He's in possession of the harness that Doctor Doom once used to steal the Surfers powers. T'Challa does the same, and then gives the harness to Johnny so that he can use it to fight Stardust, Galactus' other herald. With the help of Gravity they end up beating them both. They then turn their attention towards Galactus. They try to get him to change his mind about devouring this corner of space. But Galactus won't be swayed. So instead Gravity turns his whole power on him. The other heroes are afraid of what he's doing. But, what he's actually doing is feeding him. Now that his hunger has been satiated, he's agreed to let Epoch be. Another win in the FF column. Meanwhile, Reed and Sue have gone to Titan for their honeymoon. But they're interrupted when it's come to Reed's attention that some form of matter has entered our cosmos, and is heading straight towards Earth. This peaks Reeds curiosity. Sue doesn't want to, but she agrees to let him go back and investigate. As long as she can accompany him. Like I said, they're never very far away. This issue has a fantastic story by Michael Turner. And McDuffie and Pelletier are doing a great job on the interiors. I was worried, but so far T'Challa and Storm seem to be making a fine addition to the team.
