FF#250 should be a textbook or something. This is Marvel Comics at the top of its game. A Big Battle issue that still has big ideas. Great guests used well. Uses continuity but isn't mired in it. Plenty of 'awesome' moments and splashy shots, but still tells big story concisely.
And appropriately fantastic story-telling and art.
I read this until it fell apart.
If only Byrne were a mute! Maybe we'd still be getting comics like this!
That panel of Cap taking down Skrull Night Crawler roxes. Most imaginative shield toss I have seen.
