Fantastic Four: The World's Greatest Comic Magazine! # 604 . Yes, it is the greatest!

For the past three years, a story-line was being developed.
At times it was confusing to follow- things didn't seem to make sense, or fit in the 'issue- to- issue' stories. But I stuck with it...and I'm very glad I did.

This issue is the culmination of some incredible writing. From Attalan and Inhuman culture, to a lost Atlantian society to Negative Zone death matches, it has been an amazing trip.
There's no need to know the back story to fully appreciate the content in FF#604.
If you like Galactus, trippy time-travel theorem , Mad Celestials , The Avenger's , Spider-man, Ronan the Accuser, cool Inhuman Negative Zone Gladiators, and a never before seen Galactus rolling up his sleeves to put the smack-down on a threesome of Celestials , you'll dig this book!

Here, Galactus is in a position he has never been in before--HE'S the Herald!

I gotta sing the high praises of this series, and feel an obligation to inform other CB fans not to miss out on this emotional issue.

The value of family and sacrifice for the one's you love is a powerful message told here in true comic book form.

In the process of acting upon these values , and with alot of help from your friends, the FF may just save the world !

With a future version of Franklin and Valeria showing up to help the FF and Co. in an impossible situation not even Reed can resolve, the story concludes with perfect satisfaction, like a good cup of coffee after a delicious meal!

If you're not a FF fan, don't worry about it- you don't have to be;
you just have to be a CB fan.
This one issue is what comic books are all about IMO.

1.Solid, creative writing.
2.Consistently good art.
3.An emotional connection to the characters.
4. ...and a life lesson interwoven throughout.This book, and especially this issue, has all of that!

It's perfect .
