Victor Von Doom
Fist of teh Internets.
Wow........the one of the best issues I've seen since Millar/Land took over.
The art...the writing...great!!!
Synopsis:
So we find a new world populated by superheroes. This is all thanks to Reed and the Gang.
After they warned their past selves of what the future held.....the old crew fixed the calculations and the Apple Teleporation experiment goes off without a hitch. What follows is Reed making contact with the Skrulls. The Skrulls give Earth a pill that will end disease, famine, etc.....all while unlocking the latent superpowers in everyone.
With all the new super-powered beings flying around...Earth looks for new leaders. Thor is elected President and Reed is his VP. Reed, Sue and Johnny all take the pills andunlock their respective powers (still the same). All but Ben. He's happy with just being human. In fact...everyone on the planet has taken the pill and Ben is the last normal human on Earth.
The Skrulls are on their way back to Earth to see the progress Earth has made in the last 18 months since they took the pills. Blah, blah, blah...big ceremony. The Skrull King (Super Skrull) is wearing a special armor for "protection". It allows him to mimic any metahumans powers for a thousand miles.
Later that evening the Skrulls are having a secret meeting. We find out that the pills have evil side-effects and this is all a ruse. The pills given to Earth for advancement is actually a routine that the Skrulls use to conquer planets across the galaxy. Sue is invisible and overhears the entire conversation.
Skrull King knows she is there and kills her with an optic blast thru her skull. Meanwhile, people begin to fall and decompose all around. When Reed and Thor find the Skrulls tp question what's happening (they still don't know they're being played).....they find the Skrulls along with Sue laying dead on the ground.......
I love the attention they gave Ben. I also love the twist of him being the only human left.
4/5
