A clever and entertaining one-shot story as my pick of the week with Fantastic Four #14 from Marvel Comics.
OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU: ABSOLUTELY THE MOST UNEXPECTED STORY YOU’LL READ ALL YEAR!
Something has gone terribly wrong on Earth, and it’s spreading from human to human - quickly, unstoppably. The Baxter Building is not immune - and before they can even realise there is a problem, everyone on the Fantastic Four is compromised! …Everyone, that is, save for Jo and Nicki - the young adopted children of Ben and Alicia, whose alien Kree and Skrull physiology leaves them immune.
But what can two children do to save an entire world all by themselves? And what if what’s needed for a cure is physically impossible? Jo and Nicki take center stage in this mind-bending single-issue epic!
PLUS: A SPECIAL BACKUP STORY CELEBRATING DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH!

I am really enjoying this run of Fantastic Four so far. I’d say this is the longest I’ve read in this series. I love the feeling of family working on the stories, and the team really captured the relationships in the Baxter Building.
The kids are the powerful ones here. There is a clever twist to the story which made me go back to fully appreciate the story and the twist in the tale.
This goes well with the art and the style of the story. Some sublime storytelling!
