A Clear in Present Danger

Synopsis-Talk about a classic battle, Namor vs the Torch. Namor hits New York, and only the Torch remains to stop him. Namor gets the upper hand and starts to beat the crap out of the Torch. Luckily, Johnny called over a dozen super heroes to help him. She-Hulk appears first to match the Namor's strength until Ant Man shows up and knocks him out with his sting blast. Namorita, Namor's cousins Clone (loooong story), shows up after the battle. It is revealed that the negative ions in Namor's brain were thrown off and because of the absence of three of the four Fantastic Four, Namorita, Ant-Man, She-Hulk, and the Torch form the new Fantastic Four.

Trapster and his group find the team's old head quarters, that was shot into the negative zone during the Heroes Reborn saga. The team finds a number of new alias who were attacked by the Trapster and they join the fight to stop the Gideon foundation. They follow the trail only to find an Alpha Primate (a lower class Inhuman) and Maximus (brother to Black Bolt).

Best Moments-The only thing as cool as the Thing vs. the Hulk battles was the Torch vs. Namor. Namor was at his full fury, which is rarely seen in the books. He's one of the most powerful beings on the planet. It's about time his presented like that. She-Hulk was hilarious, which she should be. While the team went against tradition and changed their roster, it was a good temporary change.

      The Negative zone adventure gets better and better. No one really explored the inhabitants of the zone until now. I kept thinking of Blastaar every time I see the rather large inhabitants of the zone.

    Did I say this before, well let me say it again. This is a great point to jump on. The book is truly living up to it's name, the world's greatest comic.

Weak Points- The characters still seem off. Great story though Over all rating-  4 out of 4 flares. Great book, worth reading.
