My Rating
Up To Scratch
Over the river and through the woods to Aunt Petunia’s house they go. If only for the traffic! Johnny checks his phone for local fast food joints as the line of vehicles continues to back up on interstate 44. Growing concerned, Susan uses her powers to create a hovering disk and begins to float up towards the bottleneck. Johnny continues his analysis of their local food options. The choices look bleak. It’s either Gyros Reborn, Goblin’ Nation, or Mmm Burgers.
Lunch will have to wait as Sue reports back on the situation. The good news is there are no overturned chicken trucks. The bad news is Nicholas Scratch and his Salem Seven are back in town. It’s clobberin’ time! Wait, did she just say Salem Seven?!
Can the Fantastic Four reach into the past and remember their beef with the New Salem crowd? How are left-handed Amino acids and right-handed sugars related to hocus pocus? Is the Fantasticar equipped with the “play it again” function? Collect the series to find out!
Reviewer Notes
Have you ever wondered if science and magic are interchangeable? Well, this is the issue for you! Say hello to the Supreme Warlock Nicholas Scratch and his Salem Salem. They’re…back…
Ryan North continues to impress with his callbacks to the classic era of the Fantastic Four. I did have one question though. If there are photosynthesizing mirror-bacteria from the Dark Dimension, why would it only be on Ben Grimm? Wouldn’t it cover the other team members? Enquiring minds want to know. I’m giving this one four out of five stars.
