Doctor Doom’s master is apparently defeated by the protégé, during a fight where half of the world’s heroes died. But after the fight, Doctor Doom becomes a force for good, marries the widow of Mr. Fantastic, cures cancer and aids, solves world hunger and becomes a champion for peace on Earth. But right where it all started, it ends in the destruction of Doctor Doom and the christening of a new Doctor Doom. Is the world ready for such a threat?

This issue was quite fun, if not confusing at times. Having skipped several issues of the Fantastic Four, it wasn’t easy to get back into the story. The flash forward subplot didn’t help, although it was interesting. The paradox of the future Doctor Doom marrying the future version of the woman he killed a few issues ago is mind boggling. I’m not even sure how that story got resolved. I blame it all on the little copies my store gets of this series. Which brings the point that perhaps it will best enjoyed when it is all collected in one edition. The story is captivating and I can’t wait to see where Millar is going with it.

Hitch continues to deliver superior renderings in these pages and he will be missed when his and Millar’s run end. He clearly defines how the characters should look, although I don’t like how he draws Doctor Doom’s nose. It seems like something DC Comics’ Hawkman would wear!

Rating: 9/10
