Reed Needs some Sleeves on those Arms..., It looks like a Giant Man Shaft. :smiley1:

I love the fact the Hickman is picking up on two threads that no one else has.
The fact that Valeria is now working on the problem that Reed was stumped with that led up to the Civil War, and now has been left dangling and forgotten by everyone else.
Plus the Franklin issue that no one really addressed to much satisfaction post Onslaught/Heroes Reborn... the fact that this kid has the power to create mini-pocket universes!
Great that Hickman has latched onto the sibling rivalry created during Millar and Hitch's run, where Franklin wished he had some kind of powers like the rest of his family. As we remember from Byrne run, Days of Future Past, Fantastic Force, Onslaught/Heroes Reborn... he actually has some incredible reality warping superpowers that are way more dangerous than Scarlet Witch's.

Yeah, which is why I'm assuming that they did not give him those short sleeves when Hitch redesigned the costume and gave Sue and Johnny short sleeves.
I think it was Neil Gaiman or Clive Barker that had a rather off colour joke/anecdote surrounding Mr Fantastic and Invisible Woman's private life in the bedroom.

I never knew they had a daughter.
It's the one that was retconned back after Sue had a miscarriage back in the eighties just after they returned from the Secret War.
Rather convoluted, but there was some time-travel and Doctor Doom stuff thrown in there when she originally came back in time as a teenager who claimed to be Valeria Von Doom, the daughter of Doctor Doom.
It was recently revlealed that even though she's just a toddler, she's already smarter than her father Mr Fantastic.

As much as I Really do Like the Idea of the Fantastic 4..., I have never been able to get into thier Books..., and have tried Many times to do so...
You don't happen to recommend some Good Recent Trades that cover some of this Nonsense , do you ? Names ? I do like the Art presented quite a Bit..., I like how Reed Looks , actually like a Bad Arse.

The Millar/Hitch run is a nice self contained 12 issues, and the latest arc that has just wrapped up by Hickman that has the Legion of Multiversal Reed Richards taking on Galactus and the Celestials.
The John Byrne Visionary trades are classics.

I've always like Eaglesham's work. Especially since he toned down his "squatty" bodies. Great illustrator and solid storyteller. Looks good!

Like the Kirby look to Eaglesham's gear and backgrounds. Don't really care for the "bad ***" Reed. Byrne did the best inteerpretation of him artistcally.

Somewhere in here, there is a joke about the potency of Galactus' "Galactic Glaze".
