Ten years after the unmitigated disaster of the first attempt at a reboot of Marvel's least interesting sperhero team, whuch made them into teenagers for some ludicrous reason, MCU #37 goes for transposing it all to a retro-futuristic alternate Earth of 1964, and the primary-colour approach of the comic books of the era. This works in that it's largely played as an airy family drama until, of course, a cosmic being turns up intent on devouring the whole planet and the floodgates are opened to a deluge of CGI. Saying that it deals with the twin threats of Galactus and the Silver Surfer better than the 2007 film with the same basic plot really isn't much more than the faintest of praise.
