Well, #11 was a pretty entertaining issue, and got me freaking geared up for #12, the conclusion to the Doom arc.
This issue starts with Doom analyzing video sent back to him from his robot insects during their attack on the Baxter Building. He sees Ben, Johnny, and Sue all in their new suped-up forms, and realizes that like himself the teleportation accident changed them. However, he doesn't see Reed using his powers so thinks that he may have escaped the accident unscathed.
We then see Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny in the Fantasticar on their way to Copenhagen for their meeting with Doom. We get a little comic relief from Ben and Johnny as they comment on Reed and Sue's lack of shame, then quickly cut back to Doom. He is basically gathering his army as he tells all the squatters who live in his shanty town that the Americans are coming for him, leading the townsfolk to chant "We won't let them take you!" (Apparently Doom is really convincing.)
Back in the F-car, the Four pinpoint Doom and start to come in for a landing, when Doom launches a rocket at them and blows the F-car out of the sky. The Four survive the crash ok thanks to Reed's overuse of airbags. They then each launch an individual attack on Doom, but each is in vain: Johnny is taken out quickly when Doom forms some metal pin projectiles out of his arm and throws them at him. Ben gets a rocket to the chest, and Sue gets poisoned by Doom's apparent ability to convert his inner organs to deadly poison. But just as we think she's done for as Doom moves in for the killing blow, we get to the last page (and coincidentally the best page of the issue IMO), featuring Reed stepping in to save the day with the line: "You get the hell away from my girlfriend."
I give the issue a 7 out of 10, but kudos to it cuz it got me really excited for #12. Check it out!!
