Status Updates From Fantastic Four Epic Collect...

#60-63

Annual #4 + #57-59

#52-55

Back half of the Annual. Liked that Jack Kirby wrote and drew a short story where he was having fun with it. Stan and him clearly were joking around often in the bullpen. The other story with Silver Surfer was nice in the way that it touched on the consequences of a story without having the Fantastic Four getting involved in it. One more bit of reading and I'll be done!

First half of annual #5. Timeline is getting weird, don't know if this is before the last few issues I read, or if it's a few issues down the line, as it doesn't fit after issue 67. Love seeing Reed and Sue out of action because they're having a kid! Didn't realize I timed this that well.

#67, it was interesting to read these last two issues and not know what organization was being represented here. I still don't know. I thought it might be AIM or Hydra, but it's never explained. Don't know when I'll be able to read issue 68, so I will be curious to see if I come back to it if Adam Warlock is more of a character. Found the overall storyline interesting. Only a few more pages to go.

#66, I was thinking we were setting up for some Hydra type stuff, but we got to the end and realized we're setting up Adam Warlock. I've been really surprised with how many Guardian of the Galaxy characters have been popping up in this, but it's all space age 60s stuff, so it makes more sense than I initially thought it should. A good issue.

#65, surprised that the tease for this issue in the last one only amounted to less than a page of the story here. Enjoy that we're getting some downtime with the characters, but might prefer to get the whole issue as that. Reed's line of "wives should be kissed and not heard!" is actually crazy. Like that we're getting more of the Kree. Ronan without blue skin but his normal costume looks really weird.
