Meet The New Sue--Same As The Old Sue?!?

So, y'all remember the new, improved Invisible Woman from the early 90s, right?

Ye gods, 1990s, I swear some day there's going to be a special tribunal...

But did you ever wonder what the old, demure Susan Storm would think of the new, in-your-face Susan Richards?

Well, thanks to the magic of time travel, we have an answer, as the "modern" Fantastic Four (with Scott Lang replacing the "dead" Reed Richards!!) heads back to an "alternate past" to meet the much younger, just recently formed original FF!

So what does young Sue think?

Hussy? Hussy? And note that's after they had toned down Sue's costume a bit since that year old cover above!

Well, fisticuffs are of course inevitable, and...




Sue, you've come a long way, baby!!

Fantastic Four #375 is from 1993. The panels are from FF #388 (1994)

    Huh. According to marvel.wikia.com, the cover artist for #375 was Paul Ryan. Looking at it, I would have sworn it was Keith Giffen. And... the #388 interior art is also Paul Ryan, and to my eye it looks very little like the #375 cover. Am I nuts?

    I always found Ryan's art to be a bit variable, depending on the inker on how rushed he may have that month?

    That cover of #375 is a scan of one of those damn prismatic covers of the era, so it probably looks a bit off. Giffen doing the FF, though? I'd be on board.

    As for the interior of #388, I get the sense that Ryan was trying to emulate to the flatter, less polished work of Kirby's very early FF. That's just a guess on my part, though.

    I have always wondered how little Franklin felt about his mom appearing in that... um... costume.

    Sally--It's even worse. During this era, grown-up-Franlin-from-the-future was hanging around the team...
