Breaking down the outline for Fantastic Four #38.
There's a guest star in this issue that's going to make a lot of people happy.
You'll know who when you see the next cover.

Potentially controversial opinion: Lyja should be Johnny's fiance and thus avoid that idocy with Doom's fiance.

I'd be totally fine with that. I really like Lyja as a character, and wish she was used more often.

[Oberon]

For better or worse (oh my gorsh, did I say that?) Lyja belongs to the FF, as part of the greatest cast they've brought along with them, always.

Not everyone is a hero or cherished, but they are all fundamental parts of the FF.

[Oberon]

Well, the guest must be of FF relevance or importance.

My top guess would be Crystal, as she has fire powers of her own.

But after that, maybe Frankie Raye.

Galacta?


Silk?

[Digifiend]

Silk may seem out of left field... until you remember that Slott is her creator.

[Oberon]

So we're bound to be disappointed?

As much as i'd like to see Lyja regularly (and Sharon), Id also love to see her guest in SWORD.

Finally! A worthy anniversary book!

Will be putting this on pre-order today when I pick up my comics.

FF supporting characters (when they had a great deal of them) had a tendency to go off and become their own franchises. Lyja (who is a good character, but I cannot see the FF treating her like a friend) could certainly be a nice addition to other books. This helps the FF become a bigger part of the overall current Marvel Universe.

[Oberon]

I admit I'm selfish, but so far I've learned to live without all the other appearances.

I just can't commit to all those comics (I used to read more than a dozen a month, maybe 2 even)

[Oberon]

Say what you will about DeFalco, but he had a couple of characters who were worthy of this.

Paibok has also appeared elsewhere. Not sure but would like to know about Devos the D-vastator

Huntara even.

Well, let's not forget that in MC2 Lyja was a full-time FF member as well as being Johnny's wife.

Also, even if she was in SWORD, that has much hilarity potential... since Paibok is a former lover of Lyja. Paibok the PowerSkrull and Lyja the Lazerfist as an odd-couple team up could be utterly hilarious.... which, yeah... Paibok showed up in Xmen more than FF. But the two of them were in some books together previously.
