This was a lot better than expected.

Basically fantastic four goes broke. They run out of money and have to deal with everyday issues. You know, losing their home, not making enough money, finding jobs, things like that. It's refreshing to see them work as a unit, a family, banding together to get through tough times that don't concern a big invasion.

However, the last two issues go more supernatural and we have a big bad alien invasion in the woods. Though it's smaller scale than expected, and works, it does take away from the very grounded feel of the first few issues.

The art is fantastic for sure, some amazing looking effects and designs. I will say Sue feels a bit to sexulized at times, least the poses, but the rest looked great and really shined through.

I'll be checking out a couple more volumes for sure. A 4 out of 5.
