    Default Fantastic Four 540 Preview

    So we finaly get an issue of FF that talks about Reed's science. Looks like the happy-go-lucky genius is questioing himself in aftermath of his whole family leaving him (those jerks) and is comparing himself to Nazi scientists (Albeit humeriously). Seems Reedy dosn't exactly like the idea of locking people up in the Neg Zone. How shocking. someone on the Pro-Reg side who thinks that the Pro-reg side is wrong. Like that has'nt been done to death.

    On a less serious note, Loved the Tom Lehrer reference (Even if it did once again relate the Pro-Side to the Nazi's, I love the song). Now if they only included Posioning Pigons in the Park or National Brotherhood Week...

    Finally! Let's hope this is indeed an all-Reed issue, and goes into some detail about why he's doing what he's doing - more than just 'I'm ignoring the ethical implications because I'm a scientist,' that is.

    I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I got a laugh out of Wildstreak's dialogue. "Still weak... One chance... Have to get out of here... before Deadpool kills me... for stealing his spoken-out-loud self-narration bit..."

    Until someone said her name I was wondering what Jesse Quick was doing in FF.

    Ok, so in the last bit, was that implyed to be Sue making wildstreak invisable and then telling reed bye before smashing through the window?

    I heard the containment field is powered by kitten blood.

    But seriously what kind of genius designs a machine that when just touched by metal it explodes... weak.

    Firstly- wasn't that the 541 cover? I thought 540 was Thing walking amist a warzone?

    Secondly- thank God, some Reed! I forgive JMS for not doing anyone but The Thing last issue because he couldn't show the others, but there's no excuse for it in 538.

    Also, nice to see Reed further humanised while still being pro-reg. It IS possible.

    Enjoy it while it lasts. That looked like some pretty clear foreshadowing of Reed reconsidering his role.

    I'm thinking JMS is sort of using the same approach as Bendis in NA by giving entire issues to a single characters perspective. Bouncing back between Reed, Ben, Sue and Johnney would in many ways be less effective for something like this.

    Personally, were it me writing 6 FF tie-ins, I'd write one for each character, but with one 'finale' at the end to wrap it up, and one special just for THIS after CW4 because...

    Well, at thios time we need a FF issue, not just one character!
