Not to overstate the obvious, but . . . this is a fantastic book. Dwayne McDuffie is doing a fantastic job on this story. And I continue to be a huge fan of Paul Pelletier's. I've been a fan of his for a long time. Way back to the Ex-Mutants. Anybody remember them? I've said this before, but I really don't think the guy gets enough credit for his work. And with Rick Maygar as his inker, this book looks especially nice. Anyways, the Frightful Four have gone to Titan to kill the Richards. But they are pleasantly surprised when they find that Sue is there alone. Which works out even better for them, because now they can hold her hostage and make Reed come to them. The Wingless Wizard is actually the mastermind behind the whole debacle. He's out to humiliate Reed again. Like that'll ever happen. Anyways, last issue ended with Reed's ship exploding. The Wizard booby-trapped it just in case Reed had to use it. But this issue we learn that T'challa had the foresight to test the ship remotely before using it. Very smart, this guy. So the Wizard, in the meantime, is torturing Sue, because he want so hear her say "The Wizard is Reed Richards Superior". Really. That's what this whole thing is about. And then these guys wonder why they can't ever beat the FF. So when they all arrive, there's the usual slugfest. They beat them all, except for the Wizard. They can't do him to much damage, because he's the only on who knows where Sue is. But then they find out, just in case T'challa did involve himself in this escapade, the Wizard brought along . . . Klaw. Which should make next issue an interesting issue. Like I said good story, great art. What's not to like about this book?
