Dark Reign: Fantastic Four
by Jonathan Hickman, Sean Chen
I told my friend I'm finally reading Infinity. His response? You better fucking read Hickman's Fantastic Four before Secret Wars or you won't feel the FEELS!
So I went back and decided to follow the reading order online. Surprised it recommended starting with Dark Reign but screw it. I loved the hell out of the Dark Avengers so why not...right?
Well this was my first official fantastic four comic and...it's okay. What's it about though right?
Reed is kind of figuring out why the hell Secret Invasion and Civil War happened. What he could have changed himself. Then you have the Richard kids coming home to Ma and Pa. They are super smart, super cute, badass little mofos. Then you got Reed by accident putting Sue, Johnny, and the Thing in some kind of weird loopy world where they travel through various worlds similar to their own but in different themes and structures. Weird huh? Welcome to Fantastic Four I guess!
Good: LOVE the kids interaction. They're adorable and so cool. I also really enjoyed Reed and Sue interaction as they actually felt like husband and wife. Osborn is always a pleasure to have in and the art is solid.
Bad: The crazy loopy weird ass story of traveling through different times was kind of tooooo cheesy for me. I guess I got to be more open minded getting deeper into the series but I was kind of bored. Also, the ending felt rushed.
Overall not a horrible start but I wanted more. However, I hear it only gets better from here. So here we go into the fantastic four world! 2.5 out of 5.
