Compared to recent issue of the Fantastic Four . . this was a pretty calm issue. The family has decided to take a vacation so they've gone to Scotland to see Reed's cousin Hamish. They've gone there for the holidays and they sincerely believe that they'll just get a little R&R, and some family time. Which they do . . this issue. But . . this is really the calm before the storm. There's something going on in this little 'burg. Something just below the surface that no one can see. And no one wants to talk about. One woman does try to warn Sue. She tells her to watch out for her kids. But then one of the locals plays her off as the town heretic. All we find out this issue is that there's some locals that seem to be working for someone that calls himself Korgo. And they want Valeria. Or rather Korgo does. She'll fit his 'needs'. I've always enjoyed this book. The Fantastic Four have been one of my favorite groups . . or families, for quite some time. But I really feel that Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch have brought a new life to this book. It's incredible . . and fantastic. Mark just brings so many cool ideas into his stories and I really love the way all the seperate chapters still have ties to each other. Just like life . . a new 'focus' or 'direction' is always predicated on the events of the previous one. One couldn't happen without the other . . . the natural occurance of events. I'm not sure how long they'll be on this book, but I hope they've got them chained to the desk because it would be nice for them to be here as long as possible. This is easily one of the best books on the shelves right now.
