Most of this was fine, but I want to talk about the final story, by Azzarello. I haven't seen anyone discussing this for what it clearly is: a self-insert for Azzarello as Joker about his time at DC. There's even an extremely poor taste batd*ck joke! It's wild this made it past editorial, and that no one in the reviews seems to be calling it for what it is.

Ryan North approaches the Fantastic Four with the same sensibility Paul Dini approached Batman: The Animated Series. He gets what makes Marvel's First Family fun, and he zeroes in on that month after month. This issue, coupled with Carlos Gomez's delicate line work, is a clever elseworlds film noir take on the Four that reminds me why I love comics.
