It seems like it's taking longer and longer for these Fantastic Four issues to come out. I'm sure it has something to do with the coordination of all the Civil War stuff. But still. Anyways, Ben has left the country. Of course he had to jump through some hoops to do it first. And they sent him there penniless. So where does he go? Paris. Doesn't seem like the type of place the Thing would go. But, there's no accounting for taste. Anyways, once he gets there he tries to settle in and just blend in with the crowd. Right! Like that's gonna' happen. He immediately gets recruited to join Les Heroes De Paris. (??) Never heard of it. They introduce us to all the members, then they eat, and then go off to fight a "Moleman" type character. Of course the whole thing is because of a woman. So when the thing takes down his underground area, and brings him to the surface, the woman he loves is waiting there for him. Worried that his antics will get him hurt. They make up. The French team crys. And then they go get something to eat again. Not really what I expected from Straczynski. But, my guess, is that this was a fill in issue, while they're waiting for the timeline of their book to catch up to the Civil War. And he was probably pretty limited in where he could take the story. Hope we get back on track soon though. I want to get back to the regular Fantastic Four books.
