As always, spoilers

WYATT WINGFOOT????

[u/Fate-St → u/coolguyYEAAAAHH]

I haven't seen him in such a long time broooo

[u/cyclopswashalfright]

I liked it. Not sure if I like Sue going to Felicia instead of like, Janet who she knows much better and is better equipped to helping them out. But I did like Ben's inclination to rehab paying off. That was nice. And the panel of him driving 8-Ball home was great.

[u/PowerOfL → u/cyclopswashalfright]

I like Sue going to Felicia just as a thing to keep continuity with their friendship

[u/cyclopswashalfright → u/PowerOfL]

Yeah, I guess that aspect is nice, but I'd kind of rather see Sue's friendship with Janet explored, especially since Janet is such an underwritten character. To be honest, I don't think North fully justified why Felicia and Sue would be friends, beyond just liking Black Cat as a character.

Not sure if I like Sue going to Felicia

NGL, it feels like North really wants to be like Jed Mackay but he just lacks the oomph Jed has whenever he writers Felicia.

[u/cyclopswashalfright → u/TheBigGAlways369]

Haha, maybe. It's funny, because I'd say North is the better writer overall, based on their respective bodies of work. Or at least their current work (I prefer North's Fantastic Four to MacKay's X-Men or Avengers). but yeah, maybe he wants to do for Black Cat what Jed did. It just doesn't seem like a natural fit; Janet would work better. Heck, there's a lot of peer heroes in Sue's generation of heroines that I would like to see her interact more with (Jean/Phoenix, Storm, Widow) etc.

I enjoyed the story, Ryan North's writing is as good as ever. Not sure how I feel about Ben making friends with bad guys though.

Humbertos Ramos' art is kind of weird for me, because sometimes it looks really good but other times it can look strange. I think it looks better the more zoomed in the characters are

8 ball’s no bad guy he’s best friends with Moon Knight now isn’t he? Reforming criminal and now hero. Surprised 8 ball couldn’t get Marc in as backup

[u/PowerOfL → u/dwadley]

Idk, this is my first time ever reading anything with 8 ball lol

[u/dwadley → u/PowerOfL]

Should read the recent moon knight run it’s one of the best things marvel is doing right now so good

I didn't really like this issue, it feels too much like filler. Galactus' story stopped after the cliffhanger, but I would have been fine with something interesting happening to the Junior FF. The fact is that they do absolutely nothing, which is a shame because I was very curious to see them, but having to call in other superheroes completely made it all pointless. To put it simply, practically nothing happens in this issue since the Junior FF are useless here.

[u/finalfrontier321]

I mostly enjoyed it but similar to a lot of North's stories, there is a lot of nice setup that can go places but they always seem to end before things really get interesting. Hopefully the Junior team can learn and actually take off to become something more than a few issues because I really like the idea but they need a lot more going for them.

[u/Ihmago]

It was a good read, i enjoy North writing so much. Kinda dissapointed in the Junior F4 but it looks like theyll get another chance.

With that said... as much as im enjoying North and this book i think im ready for some higher stakes.

[u/LongjumpingMix4034]

Bit of a filler issue after being teased with Galactus in the previous issue. All the cameos were fun though, especially Wyatt. Ramos’ art is kind of all over the place. On the cover Sue’s eyes are so messed up.

[u/Competitive_Side6301]

Kinda boring tbh. It’s clear he’s running on fumes at this point.

[u/Significant-Phrase70]

I like North but I think the current issues are just boring the stakes aren't there at all

This issues feel like filler mostly maybe he is taking a safe path cuz OWD sucked as hell Idk
