Professor Storm has class
The Future
Foundation has a substitute teacher for the day – Professor Johnny Storm! As
the class gets ready for what they expect to be a boring lecture on the
language of love, it soon turns into an unexpected field trip into the negative
zone. But when they arrive to take a simple tour, Storm learns that his
political power in the negative zone may have been taken out from under him.
Written by
Jonathan Hickman with art my Nick Dragotta, this issue of FF had all of the humor, adventure, and super science that have
made this secondary Fantastic Four
series so wonderful.
Hickman has
been playing with Marvel’s first family for a while, but it always feels like
an exciting first issue whenever you read a new installment. The pairing of
Storm with all of the adopted children and members of the FF has a great
chemistry that pits all of their wits against Storm’s more brash approach to
things.
Dragotta has
a really slick style that translates well to this motley crew of characters. Storm
looks like an updated version of the original character design, and I really
enjoy the white uniforms that the team has taken on in the more recent series.
The best
part of this book is the very different personalities of all the children. They
always have something funny to say and I’m excited to see them eventually
become a part of the bigger Marvel Universe when they’re unleashed on the
world.
Fans of
super science, inter-dimensional travel, and field trips that go hilariously
wrong will enjoy this. There isn’t a ton of action in this issue, so if you
were looking for a slugfest I’d get a different book this week.
