The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Right, so this takes place before this week’s issue of Fantastic Four and shows how the Celestials got to Earth, they came through the Gate, but not after killing the last of the evil Reeds and also, dun dun dun… Doctor Doom. Yep, Doctor Doom is definitely dead, no way he’ll be back. I jest, but this was still good comics, and very well structured in how Hickman doled out his flashbacks. We see Evil Reed whip out his Ultimate Nullifier, flash back to him claiming he can use it safely, and then… he doesn’t and dies. Oops. Am I right in thinking that the big open room that Val and Nathaniel do their calculations in is the main hall from the base in SHIELD? It looked like it. Bobillo’s art will obviously continue to be divisive, but I think he’s a great fit for a book about kids, he manages to make each child look distinctive. Where does this book go from here? The last page was pretty grim, but the cover to #15 is the freaking Power Pack grinning their heads off! I’m guessing that Power Pack will be the ones to save the world from the Celestials and that both this book and Fantastic Four will be cancelled to be replaced by 3 new Power Pack ongoings.
