Jae Lee is always a welcome addition to any project, and the look and feel of the Inhumans is incredible because of it, though the annual which introduces them seems, again, paced poorly; it's as if the series is, at this point, being made to move too quickly so that we get as much of the FF universe as possible in the littlest amount of time. The Thinker is pretty ingenious, changing the gender and history of the character and only alluding to the Awesome Android, so that we're left wondering how this universe works wholly. The more I read and recognize the more I start falling in love with the Ultimate universe; I'm hoping the same feelings are carried throughout the other titles (as I have yet to seriously begin X-Men or Spider-Man).

Putting aside the fact that this is effectively three issues of the comic (a two-issue arc and a double-sized annual), I can't say for certain anything of importance happens. We meet a new villain who is more frustrating than anything else, the annual doesn't really do much, and the artwork left a bit to be desired.
The pro of the Ultimate version of Fantastic Four is the sense of fun. There wasn't any of that in this volume, unfortunately, but it was mercifully short, so...
