In that series, every page of every issue was utilized to its full potential, with something big, relevant to the era in question, and an interesting extrapolation upon the mythos. With this, it just seems like Russell is writing yet another version of the FF's origin or some treatment for a possible movie.
As for the art, it's not bad, but it's rather uninspired. They couldn't get a more dynamic artist, like one of the many greats who've worked on the book previously?
And finally, I love Sue, she's one of my favourite characters in all of comics, but taking down Doom with a single hit to the back? Really?
