I'll be the first to admit the Fantastic Four has NEVER been a series I much enjoyed. I still haven't found a great book yet but the first volume was good enough that I figured I'd try the 2nd volume in Hickman's long running series.

So of course the storyline becomes bigger in scope as we go to new places. The story starts with moleman visiting our fantastic family and wanting them to come underground with him. Then we go to a new Atlantis, or so they claim. And Johnny does some dumb shit as always and almost starts a war of sorts. This all happens in 5 issues.

Good: I like the banter with the family. Very realistic and fun. I also think the art is great, especially since one underwater scene is done super well. Oh and the ending sets up some really cool ideas.

Bad: It's kind of oddly confusing at points, too big for it's own good, a lot of setting up pieces, and not the big payoff. So, like Avengers run, a lot of build up.

Overall, I know Hickman is long game. So while this volume didn't blow me away it was enjoyable enough to want to keep going. A 3 out of 5.
