This is quietly becoming one of the best Image series. Schulner has given us the story of Luke and his (dozens? hundreds? ) of clones. After failing to rescue his wife and newborn son, Luke is saved by an unlikely ally, his father. Luke learns why his father created these clones and that he just might be the alpha clone. Meanwhile, a small group within the US government is not happy about these clones being free and decides they need a little help from the beta experiment. Things are getting good.

FF #5 by Matt Fraction and Michael Allred

FF #5 Review

FF #5 Review

Medusa is a scary force to be reckoned with. It’s going to be even worse if she turns out to be a villain. It certainly seems like that’s what might happen. The group works well together even though the press paints a different picture. The substory with Alex Powers just got real serious. What does that boy think he’s doing? Poor Bentley is in some big trouble. Fraction gives us an enjoyable story with lots happening. Let’s see if he can keep juggling all of these plots. Come for the Fraction, stay for the Allred.
