It's taken them 56 issues, but . . they've finally gotten Namor involved in this story. I wondered when he was going to show up and try to sweep Sue off of her feet. Anyways, we find out this issue, that Agatha Harkness and the Seven . . . are one and the same. They, or it, is also the entity that's followed Sue back from Oregon. Remember when she went there to help out a friend of hers when she found a giant egg underground? Well, in the process of Sue being there . . the egg hatched, and whatever was in it followed her back to Manhattan. Apparently it's the same entity that destroyed a large section of Atlantis also. Namor came to her rescue at the end of last issue, after she had taken quite a beating from the Seven, and they dumped her unconscious body into the river. He'd taken her back to one of his other cities for her recuperation. This issue . . . she wakes up . . . and after some awkward situations, he takes her to show her that the surface world now faces a threat that caused his kingdom much damage in the past. Unfortunately, now that she's up to speed, she's many leagues from home . . literally. However, it seems that Reed has made the connection . . or, I guess you could say, it's been made for him, when Agatha attacks Reed and Ben, and then switches into her Seven form. It appears that Johnny is going to be the energy source that she needs for her reproduction. Meanwhile, back in Oregon, Sue's friend has just found another cavern full of these eggs. As usual, Mike Carey has put together a story very worthy of the FF tradition. It has everything in it a good FF story should, plus . . it's being told in the Ultimate Universe . . the artistic license is a little looser. We get a new artist this issue also, with Eric Basaldur. I like his style. It fits well with this book. And he draws very sexy women. Which is always a plus in my book. Anyways . . another cliff-hanger ending. Fan-frikkin-tastic!
