X-Men #2: When Two Become One

Fantastic Four #16: The Masterpiece World of Spyre
Fantastic Four #16
The senses-shattering saga of Spyre plays a number of familiar Fantastic Four riffs and comes up with some new and entertaining things to do with them. This is stuff we’ve seen before in ways that we haven’t seen it. Coming up with material that is true to the FF tradition but isn’t a mere retread of old stories isn’t easy, but Dan Slott seems to be on top of things. I look forward to seeing the full effects of the visit of The Fantastic Four to planet Spyre, and what it will mean to the future.
