Yeesh... what was the point of that?
I mean, this is the problem I have with the Ultimate titles. They're all about messing with characters rather than doing anything with them.
Look at Stan and Jack back in the 60's or even John wonder-beard Byrne in the 80's. At least they produced exciting stories. We got islands of monsters, Doom time-traveling, even cowboys on robot horses. Wild ideas, this has been a staple of the FF. Even Grant when he wrote 4 and mainly messed about with the ideas of the team, gave us some amazing visuals and action.
Ellis just took 23 pages to have Sue Storm and Reed Richards kinda hit on each other, throw around scientific terms and look at their own bodies while we find out that... Doom comes from vampires (well, we let the locals think we verr, my son whom I hit at the dinner table until he recites his family tree, oh and here's a Van Damme joke too! but I kid the Van Dammes)? And his body is the armor?? OHhhhHHhhh... very lame.
To think people get paid for these things.
I dunno, I know this title is very popular now, but it is so inferior to the greatness of this title's past... and why are there like 5 FF titles now? |
