Fantastic Four #7 (Marvel)
Dan Slott (w) Marte Gracia with John Lucas (a)
And so the team invade Latveria despite the warnings of the death penalty by Doctor Doom the countries Regent. With a quick resume of Dooms origin the confrontation with Galactus continues and the team go into action sans Sue who is sent to protect some of Doom's peasants.
Meanwhile the kids are playing truant, leaving holograms of themselves in the bedrooms but quickly get found out...
I don't want to give too much away but this is another great issue and shows me what's been missing for too long: the first family of Marvel, The very Fantastic Four!
Nuff said!

The Savage Sword of Conan #2 (Marvel)
Gerry Duggan (w) Ron Garney (a)
Now this was a massive improvement from the first disappointing issue which set up the scene but took far too bloody long! It's only been two weeks since the first instalment of The Cult of Koga Thun as part two, Go Ask Crom takes us to the wizards city via a few followers who like killing, maiming and stacking intruders. The claim to have ate Crom!

Star Trek: The Q Conflict #2 (IDW)
Scott Tipton & David Tipton (w) David Messina (a)
And so the continuum pick their teams which turn out to be a real mish-mash of the four original Star Trek TV crews. A bit of fun that leaves Quark last and protesting he shouldn't even be here as he's not part of Star Fleet. Tough. The "little troll" as he is referred to is in for graduation of the game.
Under the threat of their home worlds being burned the crews are forced to compete but Picard puts his foot down and demands certain rules. The first contest is to retrieve and artefact from a world full of stray doorways. Who will win. Who will lose.
The game is afoot.

Freedom Fighters #3 (DC)
Robert Vendetti (w) Eddy Barrows (a)
This fantastic alternate history adventure continues with the Fuhrer watching the execution of the original Freedom Fighters and the life imprisonment of Jesse owns for his "crimes" at the 1936 Olympics when poor old Adolf succumbs to a heart attack after calling for the head of Uncle Sam, the symbol of America.
Long live the Fuehrer as his son takes the helm. Meanwhile in the future the new team are striking back. The Black Condor wants revenge and is let loose against the Ratzi's. Meanwhile the new Fuehrer's son is in the background awaiting his call to action. Watch that grin and brace yourself for a twist...
Along with Hawkman one of the best comic series from any publisher. Tell 'em Howie sent ya!
Rating: 5 Stars.
