I was buying Byrne's FF when I could from the spinner racks, but missed a lot and only managed to backfill them after She-Hulk joined the team. This was an issue I missed. But wow, I loved it! Especially with the story being from Sharon's point-of-view, like you guys noted. It was such a novelty in my superhero comics. So good.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I enjoyed in Byrne's run was his using the original Fantasticar rather than the upgraded model. Now that I'm reading the early FF issues along with Make Ours Marvel, it was a surprise to see the flying bathtub was only around for the first year before being replaced. I love the wonkiness and simplicity of its design, so it's great seeing it in his run.
So the Skrull milk replenishes itself. Reed's anti-Skrull enzyme replenishes itself. Reed just use Skrull milk to make the enzyme, didn't he!! GAH! BLEAH! AUGH!
See you next time Neverending Pylons!
