 Fantastic Four iIsla De La Muerte! #1 $3.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by TOM BELAND Art & Cover by JUAN DOE ENGLISH EDITION Puerto Rico...island of beauty, intrigue and, for one ever-lovin', blue-eyed visitor…a pile full of danger! Ben Grimm has been keeping a secret from his teammates for years. But when Reed, Sue and Johnny investigate, the mystery brings them to the tropics, face-to-face with an old nemesis and a monstrous creature known as…EL CHUPACABRAS!! All we can say is, "¡¡QUE EL MÍO SEA MARVEL!!"  "So, it’s like this: if you dig Juan Doe’s super-stylized artwork (think Jay Stephens or Darwyn Cooke meets Photoshop), you’ll dig this Puerto Rican adventure with the FF. But if you don’t dig the art, there’s not much here for you. What starts as a fairly interesting and low-key take on the familial aspects of the FF becomes far too generic once the villain of the piece shows up, and doesn’t really get its rhythm back ‘til the last few pages. If writer Tom Beland had been able to just sticking to his strengths (interpersonal drama, Puerto Rico) rather than ‘superheroing up’ this story, it’d be easier to recommend unreservedly. As it is, though, this is really one to grab for the art alone." THIS BOOK GETS 7 GRAHAMS OUT OF 10 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
