4.0

Slott is famous for Spider-man, and I did enjoy some of that run a lot, while other parts not so much. I also didn't like his Iron Man volume 1 at all. So I wasn't sure about Fantastic Four. Finally reading the copy I bought awhile ago, I can't believe I waited so long. This was a freaking BLAST!

So we all know Sue, Reed, and the kids have been out of the Marvel universe since secret wars. When Johnny and Ben are about to throw in the towel, Reed and Sue let them know they are still alive. But the fantastic four might be in trouble as a new villain has popped up and hellbent on destroying everything...again. Oh and Doom makes his grand return!

Overall, this was some good stuff. I love the chemistry between Reed/Sue, Ben/Johnny, and Val is fucking ADORABLE still even if she aged and makes me cry cause little baby val was also too cute. But everybody gets a chance to shine and the ending is building nicely to something special. I also love the art, it's great. The new villain (or she might be old? Not sure) was the only part I didn't care for. She was okay.

This is great for fans of fantastic four or can jump on if new to the family. Easy, fun, and exciting. This is what Fantastic Four should be. A 3.5 out of 5, but I'll bump it to a 4.
