I’ve never been a Fantastic Four guy, but I gotta say, every time I dip into this current iteration of the series, I have a great time. I read the previous issue, #19, where the Trapster uses a Cosmic Cube to trap the FF in a noir where Alicia Masters plays the private dick and Sue Storm the femme fatale, and it’s flippin’ great.
Anyway, the Thing and the Human Torch apparently live in Arizona and have workaday security jobs now at a brewery? Good for them! And Johnny has a handlebar mustache? You keep right on bi-coding yourself, king!
Check out our exclusive preview of Fantastic Four #20, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.

Things are calm and normal, and definitely will be for a long while. Things are NOT about to explode in everyone’s faces, and this is NOT the last chance at normalcy that the FF will have for a very, very long time! With that being absolutely the case, Ben “The Thing” Grimm and Johnny “The Human Torch” Storm get part-time jobs to bring in some extra cash for the family – and end up getting the same job at the same location. But surely pairing a hotheaded fire guy with an exasperated rock guy is a recipe for peace, quiet and tranquility, right? And surely these two won’t bring their own drama with them when working side by side, yes? Also in this issue: anagnorisis!
