Somehow I missed reading Vol. 4. Not sure if anything important happened, but this volume seems to start off with a clean slate.

It begins really well, revisiting the initial flight of the four that gave them their powers. It's one of those stories that keeps all the facts of the origin the same built adds a different perspective and layer to it. Two issues in I'm liking where it is headed. This is more what I expected from Slott who can be very creative and innovative at times.

Unfortunately, the story devolves into generic comic book drama, preset reactions from characters and standard fisticuffs. A few moments were nice: Reed and Sue, jokes about Johnny's previous love life. But it all just felt really rushed once it got started.

The art changes dramatically and frequently which is a shame.

So far, Slott's run has been less than fantastic.
