Ultimate Fantastic Four #44

One-sentence summary: More Silver Surfer goodness as the Ultimate version is revealed to serve an entirely different master with some morally mixed-up motives (heh, alliteration).

Not too bad an issue. I'm off and on on Ultimate Fantastic Four, and I like that the Ultimate Silver Surfer seems to have a very different backstory from the 616-universe. However, the actual story was just meh, and, honestly, despite how much plot happened, no one did anything that interesting. It was sort of interesting to see the FF get the crap beaten out of them by the Surfer, but that was about it. I do want to see where this story goes, but the ending was, well, a bit sudden, really. I wish they had let a bit more suspense build before this issue ended.

All in all, not too bad. Not the best the series has produced, but at least the villain is more interesting than Ultimate Alchemist (though I'll admit that actually turned out to be a bit of an interesting storyline).
