BEST OF THE STACK - FANTASTIC FOUR #565

It was a really good week. No fails, no serious disappointments (New Avengers was pushin' it once again thanks to my buddy Mr. Billy Tan) but overall nothing but good stuff. Which made picking a favorite tough. Mighty Avengers managed to make me care again after a few issues of dullsville, Unknown Soldier was way brutal, Jack of Fables had a funny revelation, Conan is cutting things in half and Dear Billy ended in the horror we all knew it would. However I guess it wasn't really all that much of a contest once I picked up FF 565. As you can see above, the mystery critter fromt he previous issue was in fact a mega Cthulhu beast. Double-page spread of awesome followed by more great art and action. And man, it managed to end even awesomer.

After a full on battle, Sue drops a friggin' church on the mofo. Snap. Another double-page spread of total badassery. The FF has been so good since the Millar and Hitch run began and it just looks like it'll get even better. The end of this issue features a lady from the town run by the monster writing a gracious note to Sue a few months down the line. And it looks like everything has gone to shit. Doctor Doom and his mysterious evil teachers apparently wrecked some shop. Thing's fiance may bite it (surprise) and something else bad happened. What? Who knows! Next month is but 3 weeks away!
