As Jonathan Hickman wraps up his run on Fantastic Four, he’s been hunting down loose threads like a tailor with OCD. The Human Torch is back from the dead. Reed’s ex-girlfriend got blasted to the far side of the universe (cue 90’s stand-up comedian, “Am I right, guys?”). What about that super-villain clone that Reed invited into his house? Nothing could go wrong there, could it? We’ll begin to learn the answer to that question as we review Fantastic Four #610.

Dave Conde went to Grad school for Accounting and was voted “Most Likely to Quit Accounting and Become a Professional Skateboarder”. This is not demonstrably false. He reads a bit of everything but values the writing above the art. The only books he’ll buy regardless of the story are by Frank Cho, because…well damn. (Once he masters drawing more than one female face, Frank’s going to be unstoppable.) He’s Dave. Solamente Dave. And he can’t be locked up in a cage like some kind of Manimal. He’s outta heeeeeeere.
Deadpool is on the run now that his enemies know he lost his healing factor. What the hell kind of super power is “healing factor”? I’ve got a “healing factor”.

But can a book starring the silent king quench your FF thirst? Well, if the name “Blackagar Boltagon” means anything to you, you can go ahead and read this issue. For the rest of you, please read on…
In a world controlled by the narratives in the collective unconscious, what happens when the main story ends? In the aftermath of Tommy’s final battle with Pullman, who will pick up the pieces and can this book continue to raise Harry Potter Fan Fic to an artform?
It begins like this: Listen: The Thunderbolts, a team of villains on work-release as heroes, have become unstuck in time. It ends like this: “Poo-tee-weet?” After the jump, Major Spoilers reviews what happens in between.
With his Fables series so popular that two TV networks ripped it off, writer Bill Willingham found that there was enough demand to launch a spin-off series exploring other corners of his fictional universe. His first six-issue arc probes the pre-Disney origins of Sleeping Beauty, who is in a love triangle with Ali Baba and the Snow Queen, while a tiny, naked, blue man watches. Can a comic book really live up to that set-up?
