FF, Vol. 2
by Steve Epting, Barry Kitson, Greg Tocchini, Jonathan Hickman
The first FF volume was super well done, and while 2 is bigger and more explosive, it loses some of the charm the first volume had.
This one we see a lot of the Inhumans. You know, that crazy bunch who nobody seems to like but Marvel pushed for years to get into the spotlight. So yeah, they arrive to help (?) Reed stop the evil Reeds. At the same time we get a somewhat conclusion for Doom here and his mission. We see that Reed's pops isn't maybe telling the whole truth. We see our Reed finally come ask for help from the friends he knows and loves. And last but not least, we get Sue being a badass mother.
Good: I enjoyed the smaller, quiet moments. I especially liked Sue in this, and Reed finally admitting he needs help, and Spider-man even has a few great lines. I also thought Hickman obviously LOVES Blackbolt because he does this character justice. There's two amazing moments, one a fight, one a stance, and it's great. Last but not least Doom is pretty great in this series.
Bad: This epic feeling of a conclusion to the last arc felt missing here. Nothing surprising really happened, which is a surprise in itself. The plot grows deeper and tus this feels a lot like a bridge chapter.
Overall, still good. The art is great, the pacing is solid, there's some touching moments, but this didn't blow me away like the last two volumes. Still good though, a 3 out of 5.
