Fantastic Four #68

Mark Waids work on this title is easily the best this book has seen in a very long time, as his understanding of the group dynamic that exists within the Fantastic Four is near perfect, and when he throws this world into chaos one can't help but delight in the overwhelming sense of excitement he's managed to create. I mean this book has two very clear cut moods, as before Dr. Doom makes his attack this is very much a lighthearted romp where Mark Waid & us readers get to delight in the weird, wonderful world of the Fantastic Four. However, after Dr. Doom makes his move the book very abruptly takes on a decidedly darker, almost nightmarish quality, and while the art isn't quite up to this new mood, the writing makes up for it. I also have to say I'm rather impressed by how utterly evil this latest attack by Dr. Doom truly is. This is exactly the shot in the arm Dr. Doom needed, and here's hoping he's got even more cards to play, hidden up his sleeve. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four 68 is the most shocking, action-packed, and suspenseful issue yet. Doom reveals that Val is an extension of his senses thanks to a couple spells he put on her right after her birth, and Reed, Johnny, and Franklin create multiple gizmos to help Johnny get revenge on Ben for dropping a mega water balloon on him. Valeria says her very first word: Doom. And by reasons unknown, the lab begins to catch fire so Reed starts his teleporter to get Franklin to safety. Franklin goes in too soon and ends up in a demon dimension. It was just as crazy and awesome as it sounds
