i still/always see soap opera potential with the FF and their long and assorted cast.

I haven't seen the issue, but I'm sure we haven't seen the end of Sky or Lyja even.

I remember the earlier storyline, the first Inferno, that also had Johnny's powers out of control. It was very hot, yet Sue was even to touch him through her force field in one scene.
So this seems so off the chart from that, but those effects were from the mystical Inferno plot stuff, as I recall.
