Really should invest in a welcome wagon at this point.

Duhr. I was thinking Klaw had pulled this one before, but I was thinking of Batroc. Still, all sorts show up on earth and just team up with whoever. Like today's book! From 1993, Fantastic Four #377, "If This Be War--!" Story and plot by Tom DeFalco, pencils and plot by Paul Ryan, inks by Dan Bulanadi.

This issue feels a bit frantic, with a number of plots colliding at once. Franklin Richards had been taken to the future by his grandfather (and possible Kang) Nathaniel, only to return seconds later as a battle-hardened teenager, having spent years fighting in a sci-fi future. Susan is furious, and doesn't believe him; while Reed has to acknowledge the possibility; and Franklin glumly realizes his folks are just like he remembers them: at each other's throats. Ben is the most stable of the team at the moment, and he was wearing that bucket helmet to keep his Wolverine-slashed face together. Johnny was in jail, for burning down Empire State University in #371; which is noted with a bit of glee by Klaw.

Klaw is in town to hassle the Torch and the FF, but he just happens to be there when Huntara, Warrior Princess of Elsewhen, arrives out of nowhere intent on destroying the four. Which four is unclear: she could be after the Beatles for all we find out here; but Klaw convinces her to team-up against the FF just like that. Meanwhile, in orbit, Paibok the Power Skrull and Devos the Devastator are also watching the Torch and preparing to attack. We get a couple pages for the origin of Devos, a quick check on pregnant Skrull Lyja, about three panels of reconciliation between Reed and Sue, and then--deep breath:

Ben still doesn't trust former She-Thing/current Ms. Marvel Sharon Ventura after he got cured by Dr. Doom, who is sending a probe from Latveria in search of beings of power...to probably klonk over the head with a lead pipe and steal said power. J.Jonah Jameson and Peter Parker are outside the Torch's trial, and while JJJ is tickled pink to see a "costumed freak! get his, he may have a mild stroke when Silver Sable hands him her bill for bringing Johnny in, then going after Venom. The Sandman's also there with Silver, in solidarity with Ben Grimm; and of course Matt Murdock is Johnny's attorney. Was She-Hulk busy? Well, they probably didn't want two green girls in the same scene; as Lyja throws a lot of glare at "pretty lady" Bridget O'Neil, whose life Johnny had saved before burning down ESU. As Matt begins his opening argument, Paibok and Devos smash in one end of the courtroom--Matt thinks they're trying to provoke the Torch into doing something rash and ruining his case, but they don't seem like legal scholars, they just want to kill them. Klaw and Huntara smash in the other side of the courthouse; ready to face "the Four who must be destroyed!"

I think I've seen Huntara in a fight scene or two later, but I don't think I have the slightest idea what her deal was, or if the Fantastic Four actually was the Four she was looking for. But she wasn't even the most interesting alien barbarian princess-type the team knew; she was no Thundra.
