Fantastic Four #557 - Marvel

This issue wraps up the Nu-World story-line. But, honestly . . that part of the story really went out with a whimper. I mean . . yes, every hero in the world was involved in trying to take out CAP, but, in the end, all Reed had to do was put on his anti-Galactus suit and take one swing at him. TKO! Well, maybe it wasn't that simple, but . . it sure seemed like it. Alyssa tells Reed that she's put a fail-safe into CAP that he's never allowed to hurt them, under any circumstances. Reed takes the logical leap, and assumes that she probably also added his name to that list. Of course he's right, and when CAP can't attack the anti-Galactus suit, because Reed's in it, he takes the opportunity to take him out with one punch. Sure . . its a very powerful punch, but still. Anyways, I'm sure this isn't the last we've heard of Nu-World. I believe it was started by the US Government, but now, because of the recent threat it unleashed, pretty much every government in the world will be involved. It's the only way they could get them all to agree to cover up the recent indiscretion. So, even though the immediate threat is gone, and Alyssa will once again be leaving Reed's life . . for the time being . . I'm sure this story is really far from over. But . . it's shelved for now. Meanwhile, Johnny still has to deal with his moral dilemma of being in love with a thief and villainess, Psionics. He comes home and finds her laying in his bed . . covered in money. "I've been a naughty girl and robbed another bank. Does that mean you'll have to handcuff me?" And at the end of the issue, there's a new Nanny that's come to interview for the position . . Mrs. Tabitha Deneuve. But unfortunately she's arrived just as someone else comes crashing down the elevator shaft. Ben breaks open the doors to find a beleaguered Doom, saying . . "Find Reed Richards! NOW!" This was another brilliant story in the Mark Millar / Brian Hitch chapter of the Fantastic Four's lives. What more can I say about the talent involved in this book right now . . . it's incredible. The only bad part is . . every chapter leaves you wanting more.
