Yes, yes, vampire crossover, whatever. It's a token tie-in at best here.

But hey, Ryan North does some interesting character stuff with Reed Richards!

The cover is just a sideshow, the main thrust of the story is the FF confronting a tech-bro and his app.

One panel from Fantastic Four #11 (LGY#704). The main story is a Ben Grimm caper that also features a dog and has a tribute to Judge Dredd, but let's look at this panel. Johnny Storm explains a sexy dream he just had. Weird phrasing, no? What's he hiding, I wonder?

So, here's the launch of the post-Dan Slott, Ryan North-led Fantastic Four run. Let's start off with the writer's manifesto for how this series should go:

Got that? Good. The issue itself:

A done-in-one Groundhog Day escapade, yet it does not even feature every member of the Fantastic Four!

And if you thought the current run of Spider-Man has its hero in a bad situation of his own creation, well, you'd better get Peter Parker to hold Reed Richards' beer:

"When my mother read this issue -my mother was not a comic book person - her reaction was that it was a nice Cuban missile crisis story...I realized at that point...people who don't know the stories we are referring to are still able to react to the underlying emotions of a story about the end of the world."

"My original concept was a book that would pay homage to Marvel Comics #1 by including stories with it's stars, the Torch and the Sub-Marnier. I took a break from pursuing regular comic work to produce a package I felt would really represent my best efforts and tell a story I really wanted to tell - a 12-page retelling of the Human Torch's origins, fully illustrated and lettered.

The first person I showed it to was Kurt Busiek, with whom I'd worked with on Open Space, and someone I thought would be interested in my idea for a short story anthology starring Marvel heroes and featuring painted artwork."

Either way, it feels like a very natural and great wrap-up for the entire narrative. It ends on a very positive note, whereas the original thing -- where Phil Sheldon is throwing things around the office and is all bent out of shape, still mourning the death of this teenager he barely knew -- was not a very high, exciting ending for the original project. And it ends on a character, Danny Ketch, who nobody would want to remember anyway by the end of the '90s. -- Alex Ross

But as we have gotten further and further away from 1994, the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider is not this big-hit thing -- he is now one more piece of Marvel past history in the greater universe. I think that doing this sixteen-pager plays with characters who, at this point, have stood the test of time. The new X-Men are going to be the new X-Men in this important watershed moment in comics forever. -- Kurt Busiek

"But Icon_UK, there have been so MANY Captain Marvel's, which Captain Marvel is he honouring?" you ask

"Oh, my sweet summer child," I say, "ALL OF THEM!"

(Princess Evila'd had her turn.)

The man who hated the savior of the world faced him.

Elsewhere, there were two others who hated the savior.

" You wanted something to destroy the dragon, General.. "

( They were somewhere dark. )

They faced each other in her apartment.

The enemy faced the hero.

" What is this all about? "

" What it has always been about, Peter Cannon-

" Power. "

( Her lips curved. )

He awoke in her New York, out of a demon tempting and into her appealing as she had before.

" I see a power in you that perhaps you do not fully see yourself.

" A power whose limits you have not fully discovered.

" Channel it in the proper direction, Peter-

" And you could rule the world! "

" Really?

" Uh.. how do you know I haven't already? "

( He smiled disarmingly. )

He had overt ones, like the guy who tried to kill him with a dragon.

He had ones less so, like the Hooded One and Princess Evila.

They were working behind the scenes.

( Their plans were less immediate. )

There were men who, in secret, wanted to kill the dragon.

There was a man who, on his own, wanted to kill the dragon.

One day, he had the weapon to do it with.

( He had what he'd invested himself in making. )

Peter Cannon was the dragon he'd saved the world from.

There were those in the world who knew the dragon as a monster and hated it.

There were those who also hated the effects of the dragon.

( They sat together. )

They got 'em from the estate of his creator, Pete Morisi.

In 2012, they published a Peter Cannon series.

Co-written by Steve Darnall and Alex Ross, it consciously follows from the more well-known derivative: " I mean, the character in 'Watchmen' is based on this character. There's no two ways about it. But [Alex and I] thought, 'What if you took those traits and made them less of a plan and more of an instinct?'

" .. 'Suppose you never sat down and said "I'm going to save the world" as Ozymandias did. Suppose you just did something that happened to bring that about with no intention.' Well, then you have a choice. You can say, 'My work is done' or you can think, 'My thumb is the only thing stopping this dike from bursting open, and so this gesture is now and [sic] obligation.' "

It opened on a dragon.

( The dragon arrived amidst fire. )
