This issue . . the Fantastic Four part of this story, ends up being a cross-dimensional, cross-dimension story. I'll explain this the best I can, but . . it's complicated. In another dimension, Dr Doom . . from a third dimension, had crossed over, and in the process replaced Reed Richards. I don't know how or why. And . . it's really not important. Anyways, that Doom/Richards did whatever he did there, and then decided to come over to this dimension. So, I guess, he considers the FF his biggest threat and quickly replaces our Reed Richards and seals him in a grave in Latveria. Apparently he had gone there to try to strike a deal with our Dr Doom. Victor realizes that he'll just become double crossed, so . . he refuses. However, for whatever reason, he decides that he wants to try to protect Susan from whatever this Doom/Richards may have planned. So he abducts he and puts her in a 'virtual-reality' kind of prison. Long story short . . they figure all of this out, once they release Reed, and bust into Doom's castle and save Susan. Meanwhile, back home, Guido and the kids . . Franklin and Valeria, end up defeating the fake Reed. Well, actually . . when Shatterstar 'ports the team back home, Guido knocks Reed's head through the portal just as it's closing . . by accident. However, the most important part of the story to me is why Layla is in Latveria, and what's she doing helping Doom? In the previous story-arc Layla and Jamie were stuck in the future. In order to get back, they needed the future Doom's help. Layla's bargain for their return was that she would help Doom out for a year . . with her 'knowing stuff' information. Apparently Doom feels that it's been a lucrative partnership. However, when Shatterstar 'ports everybody home, he and Layla don't make it through. So . . I'm not sure that that's all about. I like the direction that Peter David has taken this book. I thought the first story-arc of this new numbering system was interesting. And I think Bing Casino is doing a great job with the art. This issue especially just seemed head and shoulders above the previous ones. This guy appears to have some great talent and incredible potential. Hopefully he'll be on board for a while. We'll see.
