That was a very fun issue. Making a returns after a couple of decades, this new volume continues in thebsame vein as the original run, albeit with a more Fantastic Four focused narrative. Issue 1 mostly deals with Ben Grimm, and his feelings towards what happened to Sue and Reed during Secret Wars. He misses them, and is sent to a warehouse where all of the old Baxter Building items are being stored, recieving a message recorded by Reed in the event of his demise. It essentially says that Ben needs to look after Johnny, and keep adventuring, just has they had done as members of the Fantastic Four. Towards the end of the issue, Ben confronts Johnny, who is clearly distraught at the loss of his sister, pleading with Ben to stop reminding him of their existence. The issue ends with Ben telling Johnny that Reed and Sue my still be alive, all while being observed by Victor Von Doom. I e njoyed this issue,nd Chip Zdarsky does a gret job with the writing, as he does with Spectacular Spider

Wilson Fisk as Mayor of New York really works for some strange reason. This Marvel Legacy arc brings a cool new dynamic to the relationship between Wilsin Fisk and Daredevol that I don't thimk we have ever really seen before. Before this, Daredevil could just fo to Fisk's building, and beat the tar out of him; but now, if he chooses to do this, the police will be alerted to Daredevil's actions, and hunt him down. Before this arc began, it had been established that Matt managed to take his case to the Supreme Court, and make it the norm for costumed heroes/vigiliantes to testify against criminals, in order for them to go to prison, and actully stay there, rather than going there briefly, and then being let out due to the fact that they could just blame the vigilante for beating them up. Now, it seems, that Daredevil has been branded as a criminal, and can no longer act without the intervention of the NYPD. At the end of the iasue,  Matt recieves a phone call from Mayor F

Hey, remember when I posted regularly on here .... good times. Those good time will be returning very soon, as I will be renewing the Marvel Chronological Journey, beginning with Defenders #110-131 (will probably do that in small junks), followed by 6 other series reviews, culminating in a review of Marvel's first Secret Wars event. I will make an effort to actually post these reviews on a regular basis, and let you know if I am unable to do so. Once I reach Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars,  I will be covering in 2 separate parts; Issue #1-#6, and then Issue #7-#12. This will be the structure for all event reviews for this feature in the future.

SPOILERS FOR SUPERFRIENDS PART 1 This week marked the beginning of a new Batman arc, called Superfriends. This first issue very well written, and captures the dynamic between Batman and Superman very nicely, Tom King understands both if them. Throughout the issue, Superman is talkng to Lois about calling Batman about his engagement, which directly parallels Batman's conversation with Catwoman, about calling Superman to tell him about said engagement. This is accompanied by both couples investigating some crimes, which eventually are revealed to be the same, with the four of them meeting in a building, after coming out of separate lifts. The issue ends with Bats and Supes fighting the bad guys. The tease for the  next issue of Batman was 'A double-date, 78 years in the making'. I feel that this arc could be quite interesting if it continues with the quality of this issue. This goes doubly for the art, as well as the writing, as I really enjoyed Clay Mann's art. I gi
