A downside to reading comic book collections from the library is that they often don\u2019t have full runs of titles. Particularly annoying is when then only have one volume of a two volume story in the system. Anyway I have had to jump from volume 5 of the Ultimate Fantastic Four to volume 7 – collecting Ultimate Fantastic Four #33-38.<\/p>\n

In this collection a group of aliens, known as Seed Nineteen, on the run from a skirmish in a war in a galaxy far, far away crash land on Earth and run into the Fantastic Four. The two teams fight before joining forces against Seed Nineteen\u2019s enemy led by the Ultimate universe version of Thanos.<\/p>\n

This collection is notable for me because it is the first time I have read anything by Mike Carey outside of his work for Vertigo \u2013 Faker, Crossing Midnight, The Unwritten, Hellblazer and Lucifer. I was curious to see how a writer that I have always associated with fantasy or supernatural stories \u2013 he also writes a series of supernatural novels<\/a> \u2013 would get on with a superhero story. I have to say that I enjoyed it very much as it had a strong sci-fi\/space opera element that you don\u2019t get in many superhero books. Also the revelation for me was the beautiful artwork by Pasqual Ferry. I have not seen or heard of this artist before but I want to find more. I think his work<\/a> would suit a more fantasy\/supernatural themed book \u2013 apparently he is (or is about) to take over on Thor<\/a> which could be amazing.<\/p>\n

So an interesting sci-fi tinged story combined with great art means that this is probably a book I will look to buy sometime in the future. I also hope someone returned to answer the open plot points raised in the story concerning Reed and Thanos. Great stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
