Some little critters are angry at the invasion of the negative zone and are plotting their revenge. Elsewhere, the Wakandans are looking for a new place to stay after the destruction of their embassy last issue. But their stay in the United States is not warm and cozy and they have limited time left, before they are attacked. Will joining the Fantastic Four change the situation?

It’s a quiet issue after all the civil war excitement and Hudlin shows that he handles humour as well as political drama and action. Of course the Fantastic Four team up seems forced and takes away from the story. This is also a set up issue for future storylines.

The artwork is uneven. Portela shines in some pages but his work looks awful in others. It almost seems like two pencillers worked on this issue. I guess I just don’t like his rendition of the Black Panther who looks like a 300-pound guy instead of a lean fighting machine.
