	Interesting note: This issue contains a letter from George R.R. Martin.

	This Gideon shift is simply not believable!

	This was just stupid. You have the money to do anything you want. Go enjoy life.

	The plot itself wasn't so great, but I really liked the interactions between the FF in this one. Particularly, when they weren't fighting each other. I actually had to laugh out loud when Mr. Fantastic made his little joke about knocking it off near the beginning.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. This may be the worst Fantastic Four comic yet, which is unbelievable, considering the legendary run they're about to have. Even that stupid baby alien was a better villain than "random rich douchebag."

	Gideon's son should have died at the end of this ish. Having him gone for 3-4 minutes just doesn't seem that traumatic to me.

	That was just terrible. One of the worst FF issues yet, So many holes, the ridiculous Gideon change and — yet again — good guys fight good guys because they're all too stupid to talk.

	Wordiest issue ever - Stan, pictures are worth a thousand words in comicbooks.

	Gideon's actions don't flow from his prior demonstrated character. It feels false.
