Doom was really strong, and I was disappointed that Sue was being mentally manipulated by her unknown to me evil self, Malice. The reintroduction of a fan-favorite Marvel Universe hero into the battle may have caused more problems than it solved, because not even he can save the Fantastic Three from Johnny's newfound might Who will live, who will die and how will Johnny ever be the same now that he's tasted the Power Cosmic?

It resolves one of the first hooks thrown in by Hickman in the first volume but in the end the series suffers from pacing issues, too many hooks and no development for any of them until much later on for no reason whatsoever.

While his scanner is picking up readings they are suddenly confronted by members of the Ruined. Also, there are a couple of moments of corniness in this volume that I was surprised by.
