AuthorMark Millar
ISBN0785133704
Shorts (562-565). The first four issues do a great job of focusing on family: not just the Richards, but also Ben and his girl, and even Reed's only cousin. This is what the FF is all about; I'm glad that Millar got to write a bit of downtime amidst his big stories (and also that he got to offer a bit of a coda for...
