Fabio m. Mitchelli

Every once and a while a book comes along that blows my expectations out of the water, this is one of those books. A one-shot story, Ataque del M.O.D.O.K. has a simple premise: Sue and Reed Richards go on vacation to Puerto Rico where, with the help of a local hero, they thwart M.O.D.O.K. and his A.I.M. trained monkey army. Hitting the exact tone necessary for such a silly story, this book balances its comedy with a fair amount of action and drama. While the story hits all the right notes, it is actually the art that steals the show. Even if there were no words on the page, this book would still be worth picking up solely for Juan Doe's incredible artwork. I have been impressed by each and every comic book and comic book cover that he has put out with Marvel and this issue is no exception. I could go on and on and on about the perfection of the style, but I will just leave it up to you to check out the comic and see for yourself. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up immediately! --
