John Byrne’s legendary run on the FF goes from strength to strength. This one features the debut of the team’s new costumes (the first time they changed since the team’s debut, not including Johnny’s brief dalliance with a red suit) and the conception of the baby who would become Valeria Richards… eventually… sort of…

Pues desde luego Byrne no pensaba en pequeño, no. Este nuevo tomo de Cuatro Fantásticos nos lleva de nuevo a una aventura de carácter más que cósmico, donde se va atrever incluso a apartar a los protagonistas de la colección de un número prácticamente entero, el número 277, en el que se produce la destrucción del Mundo-Trono Skrull en manos de Galactus (la verdad es que esperaba más combate y más intervención por parte de los 4F en esa historia, pero la verdad es que ni se enteran).
Por otro lado, el grueso del número transcurre en la Zona Negativa, con el equipo explorando esa dimensión, y, sin darse cuenta, permitiendo que Annihilus pasara a nuestro mundo, cogiendo como prisioneros a Franklin y a Alicia (a los que tortura de muy mala manera, lo de Alicia es realmente sádico). De hecho, las aventuras de los 4F en el otro lado son un poco flojas (salvo la que pone final a la historia, en la que Reed Richards casi "muere"), y lo interesante es lo que ocurre en el Edificio Baxter y con otros superhéroes, como los Vengadores, Spiderman o Daredevil. De hecho, es en estos números en los que cuando la Visión contacta con el Nulicampo de Annihilus se desconecta, lo que llevará a medio plazo a la conexión de la Visión con ISAAC, la IA de los Eternos de Titán y su siguiente intento de conquistar el mundo... En fin. Una gran historia río en el Universo Marvel.
