Fantastic Four 547 by Dwayne McDuffie, Paul Pelletier and Rick MagyarMy only gripe with this issue is the cover, as it's one of those generic covers that give no clue to what's going on inside.
Inside, however, is a good story. There are references to The Initiative, but they don't dominate the story. Instead we get cosmic mysteries and threats, old-school villains looking for revenge, a healthy dose of humour and nice art to boot.
Rating 7.5/10 (lost 1/2 point due to the cover)
Wolverine #54 by Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi has improved quite a bit with this issue and the story starts to get more important than the endless fights with Sabretooth and Bianchi's art (which is still great).
I do hope that Daniel Way and Loeb have discussed Logan's origin and so that these two stories will tie-in together eventually. At the moment, they are world apart.
Rating 8/10.
Fallen Son Chapter 4: Spider-man by Loeb and Finch was the poorest issue out of the three reviewed here tonight.
The art was good, but the story a bit lame. Pete spent the issue feeling sorry for himself and then rushing into a confrontation with the Rhino. The real problem is that we've seen Pete in these moods plenty of times before and I would have preferred to see another hero doing some soul searching.
Oh yeah, there was a pointless Wolverine appearance just to reinforce my point yesterday that he seems to be everywhere at once. No needed really.
Rating 6/10
