It was a pleasure to revisit.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-5190040730929083532019-02-06T10:20:59.862-05:002019-02-06T10:20:59.862-05:00I enjoyed this story immensely.

It humanized him and provided a background explanation as to why Reed Richards doesn't fix everything wrong on Earth. One of those reminders we readers need when we pout and kick as to why Superman doesn't do the same. <br /><br />And, in addition to what Ben says, a happy Reed means a viable, working Fantastic Four (as a team at least, if not a comic that fails to generate sales)<br /><br />If a person accepts the Prime Law of Comics Stories that there has to be some colourful violence every issue, then the Celestials were the only choice. The Council of Reeds dealt with Galactus easier than Spider-Man stops a purse snatcher. To provide adequate threat, without any space available for back story (eg Thanos), a group of rogue Celestials fit the bill.
