Status Updates From Fantastic Four, Vol. 6: Empyre

Was the Fantastic Four always THIS MUCH about family?
Or did the writing get better, so that it was less clunky and obvious?

I am not sure how the Cotati are worse than the Kree and Skrull, but okay.

Is the Order of Pama something I should be familiar with? For all the ridiculous villains, I do not hate plants being angry at humans. We have given them plenty of reasons to be furious.
Why exactly they are angry at the Kree and Skrull- I will pay closer attention.

In the first few books Val and Franklin were kind of irritating. But they are kind of growing on me. I never liked when children were the most powerful beings in the universe. It felt arbitrary. But Slott is a good enough writer to make them feel powerful, and also immature at the same time. The opportunity for a ridiculous accident is always there.

Did they just put a Mojo-Jojo Easter Egg in the Casino Cosmico?
