Ultimate Fantastic Four #31

Ultimate Fantastic Four #31
Well...this issue is something. Man, you gotta love those Marvel Zombies!
My only complaint is the Lovecraftian thing. I mean, come on, seriously? Introducing Lovecraftian elements to the Marvel Universe is a huge mistake. We are only 31 issues in. It's waaay too early for "old gods" and magic. I mean, if Doom's all on about how it wasn't his mistake that was responsible for the accident, what better way to prove it than through displaying his scientific prowess? Magic seems to be a cop out for him. Sure, the magic Doom can be formidable, but we haven't even explored everything else yet. And if you start with the magic so early, it is sort of like admitting that you've run out of other ideas - since, hell, you can do anything with magic. And then, once you're done with that, there's nothing left to do except to turn Doom into the anti Dr. Strange.
And once Reed knows what is infecting Johnny, is there any doubt that he could fix it himself? Come on, books is books.
But the dialogue is great as always, and the pathos are true - however they came about, they feel genuine. "Victor? Are you crying?" Great line.
And you gotta love those Marvel Zombies! Due to the Lovecraftian elements I can only give this book a GOOD, but everything else was really fantastic.
