The Rundown: Ben takes Sara home and discovers the truth about why she was missing.

Sara’s powers destroy the building she was being held in and Ben manages to escape with the little girl and make their way back to Yancy street. After bringing her home, Ben tries to tell Shelly what happened to her brother, but they both learn Marty is not only still alive, but he is the one responsible for what happened to Sara.

As Ben goes to confront Marty, an enhanced Hammerhead and his forces arrive on Yancy street to retrieve Sara after taking down the Thing. Sara violently defends herself as she and Ben team up to stop the kidnappers once and for all.

The Story: Fleecs brings this story to a close with the perfect amount of heart, humor and thrills I was hoping for. The story does a brilliant job of showing why Ben Grimm is such and interesting and dynamic character with a huge heart. I really enjoyed the action in the story, but the human drama is what sold me on the finale.

The Art: Mason delivers great art throughout the issue. The visuals are perfect for this style of story and the characters within it.
