(The Thing is the very model of the guy who always gets back up, no matter what!) Ben and his godson go at The Griever together with a shared cry of “It’s Clobberin’ Time!” and whatever Reed is up to is now fully in motion. Spider-Man tries to give Franklin a pep talk with the “With great power…” speech, and the Thing isn’t having it! Benjy pulls the Webhead away from his godson-“This is the Fantastic Four we’ve got a different thought process”-and simply reminds Franklin that in the FF, when they get knocked down, they always get back up. At this point something delightful happens. Having been smacked down hard by The Griever last issue, Franklin, who is still the most powerful player among them, is too intimidated to battle her again. They’re going to do something else instead, and the key to their plan is Franklin.
In said reunion, Reed reveals that the way for the FF to defeat The Griever-who is an abstract being like Eternity, Infinity, and the In-Betweener-is not actually to stop her. This gives the FF breathing space for a touching and much-awaited family reunion. After sending the Torch and the Thing to demolish the transport device with which he brought all the heroes to this battle, he sends the Fantastic Four’s gathered allies to do the same to The Griever’s own ship (but spare one teleport unit), for reasons that will soon become clear. Reed Richards, as we know, is not one to accept that any problem has no solution-including the dilemma of how to save his family from the wrath of The Griever now. This comes completely out of left field.) Reed realizes that he and The Griever are already acquainted: she is the voice in his head that once taunted him when he tried to calculate a way to save the FF’s native universe from heat death, telling him that it was a problem without a solution. (Including, for some reason, Iceman, who is supposed to have been enlisted in a story we’ve never seen that somehow involves the Sub-Mariner. Fantastic reassembles the Fantastic Four and calls in everyone else who has served as a substitute member or ally of the team.
I would have considerable spleen to vent about how long it’s taken to get the conclusion of the showdown between Earth’s greatest heroes and The Griever at the End of All Things-but in light of what happened in the world of comics and entertainment at the beginning of this week, it’s best that we just go right to talking about what happened in Fantastic Four #3.įacing a life-or-death battle with a being who is the cosmic embodiment of entropy itself, Mr. It is now halfway through November and we’re only now picking up where we left off because Marvel saw fit to delay the release of this issue for a month. When we last saw our Fantastic Four, it was September.
