I am reading the FF reprints, which I am enjoying but this last story is hysterical in how bad it is. This is the thomas/Buschema story which just seems to pull storylines out of the air and staples them together. It makes me think that when running a title 12 months a year, maybe the stories just don't have to be so good. As long as the stories are entertaining enough to fill 30 minutes of entertainment, and that the stoies are consistant, it will find a market and become endearing to readers. It is like old TV sitcoms.
