Well our team may be in separate corners of the galaxy right now . . . but that doesn't slow them down much. The current FF team have recently returned to Earth, after defeating Galactus. Well . . . not so much defeating him as getting him to switch his targets. So they've returned to Earth and are basically twiddling their thumbs, while they wait for the next emergency to arise. Well . . . all except T'challa that is. As the Monarch of Wakanda, he has plenty of diplomatic and political fronts to keep him busy. Also . . . knowing the FF . . . they're not going to have to wait for long for something to pop up. Which of course it does. Twice actually. First Reed, who is on a second honeymoon on Titan, has discovered something flying in to our galaxy. He gets it, and with Sue's permission, goes back to Earth to try to figure out what it is. With Dr. Pym's help, they discover it to be a type of hard-drive from another world. Basically it's a warning. The race on the drive, is pretty sure that if this message has gotten out, that they've been destroyed. Basically they want to warn our galaxy, that according to this Contraspsis, we're next. Does that sound an awful lot like contraceptive to anyone else? Anyways, so now T'challa, Reed and Dr. Pym have decided to assemble a team, and send them out to assess the threat. In the meantime, back on Titan, Sue, returning from her and Reed's little excursion are bushwhacked by the Frightful Four. What a terrible name for a group of terrorists. But . . . what're you going to do? Anyways, the Wizard has let Reed know that if he doesn't come back soon, he will kill his wife. What he doesn't tell him is that he has planted a bomb in Reed's spaceship's FTL drive. So on the last page, we see the ship exploding as they attempt to leave the Earth. Overall a nice story by Dwayne McDuffie and cool artwork by Paul Pelletier. Also, what an amazing cove by Michael Turner. This book is still as exciting as ever.
