This is famously one of the best Lee/Kirby/Marvel stories of all time, and while I can appreciate that, the build up to it is a bit uninteresting (Frightful Four. Yuck) and the story itself is so well-read now (50 years later) that it only really entertains because of Kirby's art. Lee is a heavy-handed writer, and if he could just get out of the way, I feel like this whole series might be better.
