- Fourever [2018] - Reed, Sue, and the rest of the Future Foundation are off creating
universes to restore the multiverse (with Franklin and the Molecule
Man). Ben and Johnny, back in New York, despair of them ever coming
back. But when a cosmic entity calling herself The Griever At the End
of All Things starts tearing down what they've built, Reed summons
everyone who's ever associated with the FF to take her down. It's a fun
read with some bits of good characterization, such as Reed's daughter
flirting with one of the alien warriors, but for drama it's flat and
empty. The Griever flicks away Franklin and destroys Molecule Man with a
touch, but is stymied somehow by a couple dozen street-level heroes? I
couldn't get past that part, despite the ostensible explanation. I liked the extras in the volume, like
the Fantastix and wedding planning stuff. [3.5]
