Ultimate Fantastic Four #60 - Marvel


For being the final issue of this title, this book certainly didn't tie up any of it's outstanding story-threads. Sue and Ben are still looking for Johnny. They're concerned for Reed also, but he took off after Namor because he thought he was responsible for the tidal-wave. It's a natural assumption. Anyways, Sue got the help of the Mole-man and her mother also. They figured out that all of them are carrying Reed's nanobots inside of them, so now they just need an antenna large enough to get a fix on the signals. Which means they have to go to Atlantis. Long story short, they find their Sue and Ben's signals on Earth, but no others. Then Sue gets the idea of overlaying Reeds dimensional maps on top of the Earths. They find Reeds signal in the Squadron Supreme's dimension. But Johnny's signal? It's in a dimension that they have no idea where it is. We see it, and it looks like Hell. But I could be wrong. But with this being the final issue of the book . . how are we supposed to get any answers. Well, it turns out some of them will come from the Ultimatum mini-series. However, I'm guessing, most will come afterwards from Ultimatum: Fantastic Four Requiem. I imagine there will be on of these for each of the Ultimate titles. And from there . . hopefully, we'll find out what the future of these characters actually is. I thought Joe Pokaski and Tyler Kirkham did a pretty decent job with this book. I just don't like all these unanswered questions. But that's how they build suspense. Right? Anyways, it looks like were down to the Ultimatum title, and then . . . whatever mini's follow it up. I sincerely hope this isn't the end. For any of the titles.
