Well, maybe those fans are just comparing Roy's depiction of Sue to that of Stan Lee? While it is true that Sue Storm in the Bronze Age was not the same as she was in the Silver Age, the Bronze Age still often showed Sue as the weakest/least useful member of the team.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650921114832558648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-27495934575741678452010-08-11T21:32:55.729-05:002010-08-11T21:32:55.729-05:00I had a subscription to the FF back when this stor...I had a subscription to the FF back when this story come out, but it wasn't until reading your overview of it that I was suddenly struck by the similarities between this and Gerber's Badoon/Guardians of the Galaxy story in the Defenders, with the teams split up on different worlds while trying to save another planet. I'm sure there have been plenty of variations of that basic story structure. Still, lots of fun in both stories. BTW, Roy screwed up a bit ... Galactus doesn't require a planet to actually have life, intelligent or otherwise, to sustain him; he just needs planets with sufficient energy that could potentially support life. The world of the extinct dragons should have satisfied him very well, with or without the dragons.<br />At least that's my take on the way Galactus' needs were described in FF #49.Fred W.

Of course this is not to say he couldn't write more personal stories; you have only to look at his slow and careful character development with the Vision to see that. <br /><br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-57528004050282886342010-08-11T07:20:00.829-05:002010-08-11T07:20:00.829-05:00This is a combined story of heroic comic character...This is a combined story of heroic comic character.A truly super hero finished all the bad evils and brings peace for universe.every kids wants to be a super hero.<br /><br />Thanking<br />satirical cartoons<br /><a href="http://www.fridaymash.com/" rel="nofollow">satirical cartoons</a>satirical cartoonshttp://www.fridaymash.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-78319598240473805602010-08-11T06:32:25.492-05:002010-08-11T06:32:25.492-05:00I really rather liked the Thing-suit era.

Lee's technique is more often successful I think, and here Roy takes a page from his mentor to great effect. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
