Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, Vol. 4
by Steve Epting, Nick Dragotta, Mark Brooks, Jonathan Hickman
"So this is it? A Billion to one. You think I'm afraid of that? YOU THINK I'M AFRAID OF THAT!? FLAME ON!!!"
Goddamn goosebumps throughout the later half of this volume.
So this is basically three storylines going on at once. We have Reed dealing with the dead Galactus from a different time period and going with the modern day one to find out what happened. Then we have Sue dealing with the underwater empire, while also dealing with Namor's crazy horny ass. Last but not least we have a breach at the Baxter building and these creatures are getting in and now it's up to Johnny, Ben, and the fantastic four foundation kids to stop them!
Good: Sue's story is actually really good and the end results aren't only interesting but super fun. Ben becoming human for a week is wonderful and gives the dude much needed relief time. Johnny has a few great moments, one mentioning he wants kids more than anything, and of course plenty of funny moments. However, I won't spoil what happens here, but goddamn there's a moment I quoted above that sent chills down my spine. So epic. Oh and the last issue is a silent one all the way to the very end and it's truly amazing how well it's done. Both sad and heartfelt, one of the best issues in the series or any series.
Bad: Some of Reed's stuff wasn't as interesting as the rest.
Overall this is fantastic. For a series where I mostly thought was good but not great I was getting a bit worried this would never click for me. Luckily it did, and I was blown away. A very very very easy 5 out of 5.
