REVIEW by Brian Fisher
This is one issue I’ve been waiting a long time for. So much for Mark Millar’s claim that his run on this book would show up on time every month. But for writing of this quality I can take a bi-monthly release schedule. I don’t think FF have ever been as good as it is right now. Maybe back in the Byrne era the FF were this good, but never before and never since. Millar and artist Bryan Hitch are a tag team of excellence and never seem to be as good apart as when they are together. A sort of finale, this issue wraps up the story of the New Defenders, super powered being from the future trying to save the people of their time by transporting them to the Earth of the present. True science fiction elements permeate this story. And, after all the FF were never “super-heroes,” they were intended to be sci-fi heroes, and they should be written as such. And that’s how Millar approaches them. This is a pitch-perfect FF story if ever there was one.
