By Oh, the cover to Fantastic Four 537 really suckered me in good. Remember when Doc Doom stole the Silver Surfer's powers? Just imagine what he would do with Thor's power! Nah, not gonna happen. Only whoever is worthy can wield the power of Thor, and it ain't some two-bit rustpot from Latveria. I've vented my frustration by adding a little colorful warning to the cover...
Despite that non-event, the story was still weak. Wasn't it just too convenient how Doom got out of Hell? Good timing with the fall of Asgard and hitching a ride on Thor's hammer. McKone's artwork is great, and the story did allow him to do some neat full page spreads. Ben Grimm slugging it out with Doom was my favorite and would be a great buy for an original art collector.
Dr. Don Blake is getting on that bus to get the hammer, or is this another tease? Nuff said.
