Book of the Week

2-24-10

Once Again, Hickman and Eaglesham put out a great issue of Fantastic Four. It's got the fun and adventure of a 60's sci-fi movie when people would discover new worlds around every corner.

Last issue, they team went underground to a radioactive city of mutated Moloids where Galactus' skeleton is buried. This time, they travel to a research base in Antarctica only go to an underwater city of fish and snail and dolphin people.

Eaglesham's art really adds a lot to the storytelling. Much of the book is completely told in the art. There are no words during an underwater battle, and the sequence is told with no confusion at all. This task can even be difficult for veteran artists.

It looks like this book is going to send the team all over the universe in these one-issue adventures that will later be seen as a larger overarching story.
