![]() ![]() Namor uses his flight abilities to knock over several hill pirates, wondering to himself if Hyperstorm was speaking the truth when he implied Reed’s survival. Demons, they must be demons! Look, one of them even has little wings on his ankles! Some of the pirates get cold feet, suspecting dark wizardry behind Ben’s fighting prowess. Ben acknowledges the point, and promises they’ll go looking as soon as they take care of these bums. The pirates speak in a language of their own, and we learn that their leader orders the band to slay the men and spare the women, so their brotherhood can barter those beauties to local slave-masters for some fine horses.Īs the pirates fling themselves into combat with the Four, one of them curses in the name of Mitra when Ben intercepts him - the stone creature, it moves, it lives! Ben tells him that’s not all! Since his universal translator, sewn into the lining of his shorts, finally kicked in, he can tell them he can also clobber! Sue warns Ben that Hyperstorm claimed he was sending them all to Reed, so wherever or whenever they are, they must be near where he ended up. Okay, that’s some weird random knowledge you have there, Sub-Mariner… Lyja sarcastically thanks Namor for the clarification, as for a moment there she was afraid they’d stumbled on a rabid horde of cutlery salesmen. Ben wonders who these Schwarzenegger wannabes think they’re impressing, and Namor concludes they must be hill pirates - marauders who ambush passing caravans. Ben gets his bearings only to realize they’re no longer in the laboratory where they were zapped - what did the weirdo do? Where are they? Sue nervously comments that the question isn’t really where he sent them, but when! Nearby, a whole bunch of raiders with various melee weapons rush down a hill to attack at the command of Andros, their leader. We pick up with the Fantastic Four lying in a desert shortly after getting blasted with a time-beam by Hyperstorm, their latest dumb supervillain nemesis from the future. Reed is wearing his old Fantastic Four costume, though apparently he’s picked up some homeless person chic at some point to complete his ensemble. REED RETURNS! Sorry, I just had to repeat the capital screaming bit too, just to keep the parallels going. ![]() This cover is an exact parallel to the last one, just switching out Doom for Reed - who honestly looks pretty scruffy and beaten down here, so he could probably use a shave and a coffee at some point. ![]()
