Thumbs up from me.
I'm not a Mark Millar fan, but if something is fun, it's fun.
The only thing that I didn't like so far is in Issue #24, fourth and last panel of the page, with a very prominent butt shot of Sue and the line "... that beats a (blank) transformation any day of the week." And that was once in 26 issues.
As long as we can stay away from politics, profanities and "heroes" who are slimy and not worth cheering for, I'm probably going to stay happy or mostly happy.
I don't think Ultimate Fantastic Four should be about real science. Not keeping things real or even nearly real isn't a problem for me.
I would have liked a story about the Fantastic Four becoming famous, because that's also a story about going from the mundane to the world of "the fantastic" in a way, and I want that. To me that trip into "the fantastic" is basic to the Ultimate Fantastic Four. (When the going gets weird, our heroes get going.) But not getting everything I want doesn't make the series bad for me.
I like that we see the Ultimate Fantastic Four in time, in space in another dimension, on an exotic mountain, in a Baxter Building made even more fantastic by the sinister genius controlling it and so on. That's what I want.
I like the characters. I like that a lot of work is being put into them. I love that they are heroes, and the more we know them the more we know that.
The stories are good or good enough, they mostly make enough sense. And if the story-telling is wild enough, and comprehensible enough to go with, I'm not interested in finding fault.
Mark Millar can stay on this book as long as he likes as far as I'm concerned. Just keep it amazing, not sleazy, and we're rocking on.
