Marvel Knights 4 #21 (2005)

This series has been struggling to create big arcs with big ideas that matter. No, I take that back. It’s been failing, not struggling.

This issue starts with a sexually frustrated Sue Richards waking up without her husband next to her in bed. Then, it’s a night out with the girls…

I did not realize Sharon Ventura was still a she-Thing.

As they get more and more drunk together, she reveals to her friends that she’s been frustrated–and looking (but not acting out) elsewhere since the Jack Kirby days.

It ends with her reaffirming her love for her husband.

This is the first time I’ve enjoyed reading an issue in this series. Well done.
