ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR # 48

Carey continues to grind gears as his run on UFF stalls out. While an improvement over last month's edition, this issue still fails to grab me.
Who are these people? Am I supposed to just assume he's a random deranged scientist that wants to somehow resurrect his wife? And why does he need Sue Storm? I don't understand why he didn't just grab some random girl off the street and use her. Surely he's not kidnapping her for the one or two drugged out suggestions she gives in regards to the Negative Zone this issue? Why did the hired muscle turn on him? Why did he even keep her around after she delivered Sue? I feel like I'm reading an earlier Countdown issue where random people show up and do random things for no reason whatsoever.
The only redeeming part of this issue is the Crimson Dynamo. I really liked his personality and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the future. Hopefully the Carey's Power Rangers upgraded Crimson Dynamo's don't kill him off next issue.
Verdict - Check It
