Fear Itself: Franklin Ex Machina

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are a few scans from Fear Itself #5.

Enjoy!



Thor has just put down Ben Grimm/Angrir, Breaker of Souls. Ben might be down for but hold! It's two meddling kids!



Wow, Val is becoming more like her favorite uncle every day.



Wax on, wax off.

I swear I thought Valeria was like 2.

Of COURSE the Richards Kids and the FF would become my highlight for this event. :)

0_o.... WTF FFRANKLIN! YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT EARLIER?!?!?!


.... sorry, im okay.... im okay... OMG THAT WAS AN ASGARDIAN LEVEL POSSESSION!

..... no no im okay im okay....


*breathe*

seriously though, i like Franklin, i like that he is a mutant... but really...

Ok is this the same Franklin that seemed at least 4 years younger in Dark Reign? Franklin's age bounces around so much it drives me crazy. Besides everyone knows that Franklin's powers are the reason none of the flagship characters ever age.

Does Fraction dislike Cap or something?

Thor was so badass in this.

[cypherfdp]

If Franklin used his powers on a frequent basis, literally every problem ever would be solved by now.

"Dr. Doom stole the power of Odin, Galactus, and Mephisto? No problem! I'll just vaporize him and spread every individual molecule across different universes! Hey mom, can I have a raise in my allowance?"

I had so much glee when I saw Ben was back. Now if there is any justice in the House of Ideas, next issue will be Ben rallying the troops to turn the tide long enough for Tony to do his thing in the Asgard workshops.

Over whelming odds, off the scale power levels? You think I'm impressed? I don't know the means of the word quit, just as the Champion of the Universe.

[shadowpsykie]

One thing (besides Franklin not going on and ending this as there do not seem to be any drawbacks for him doing this from these scans)

Ben will more than likely be forgiven by all and return to the fold... while the Hulk gets SHAT on YET AGAIN!.... im sorry. but that is getting really Damn OLD.....

I really don't like Franklin Richards now.


Seriously, what is the point of anything when you've got this kid who is more powerful than god walking around?

I mean, let's keep it real, he ought to just...fix...the universe. People really messed up by creating a character who is basically "do anything, no consequences."

This came out today? Damn, missed it at the LCS.

I love those kids. I really wish they'd have a mini or something the Power Pack. And Beta Ray Bill, because the whole "pony" thing was adorable before.

[eyz]

Yuck :/
I find those FF suits totally unappropriated for the kids...

Val (who wouldn't even be around if Franklin hadn't made it happen back during the Valeria Von Doom thing) always treats her big brother like he's an idiot. Considering how she's supposed to be super-smart on Reed's level and considering how her brother can easily make and re-make universes on a whim, I'm not sure how "smart" it is to keep calling him names. I know she's a little kid (heck barely past 5 despite how she's drawn as a pre-teen) but considering how Fraction usually has her behaving/speaking like she's a fully formed adult I wish they'd be more consistent in her characterization.

Wow, this is very poor. Do writers not realize that obvious Deus Ex Machina s are very, very poor writing?
