What a brilliant note to end that issue on.

Aaron had already done well to craft a brilliant meta-narrative that both addressed the reader and established Marvel's plans in the issue, but to reveal that Valeria was the narrator all along, hurtling through the cosmos with her brother, was particularly brilliant.

We know not yet where their destination is, but where Franklin and Valeria are Reed and Sue are never far behind. On top of that, the issue itself may have even hinted at their destination, with the final panel closing on the pair reaching out to a cosmic hand, burning bright in the galaxy.

Given that Ben and Johnny did just fire a big four-shaped flare in the sky, it could be the thing that Valeria has noticed. Indeed, the closing narration, which says the character is "imagining [her] way home", seems to suggest as much, along with the fact that it ends with a big ol' four emblazoned in the final panel's corner.

It very much feels as though Two-in-One is the title to follow now, especially if Marvel's first family are earthbound. However, irrespective of their final destination, it's just brilliant to see Ben, Johnny and the rest of the FF slowly approaching their long-coveted reunion. A brilliant legacy, in the book's case, to leave behind.
