I thought this was a pretty good issue. Why? Well, the relationship between Johnny and Lyja was explored a bit more, and I liked they it was dealt with. All in all, I thought it was a pretty good F4 issue.

@doomwad - Dead on, brother. The Johnny/Lyja bit was entertaining. In fact, understanding Lyja's motives in the Secret Invasion really helped us understand this whole miniseries.

I think the plot for this was good and interesting, but it felt like it was being rushed along. Too much summary from Franklin Richards. It was cool on the first page, but too often it replaced things actually happening, or at least made it feel that way. This felt like 32 pages crammed into 22, and not in a good way.

Yeah I could have skipped on this mini. Its cute but I think they could have just banged it out as a oversized one shot

I also felt like this last issue felt a bit rushed. The complex problem of escaping the Negative Zone was wrapped up in like two pages... Why not explore the Johnny /Lyja relationship in issue #3, and extend the series for one more issue to deal with the escape?

I'm just glad that something's actually happening and this story has moved along and told a story...although it coulda easily been in the main book as a way to make the main book interesting.
