fantastic four by jonathan hickman omnibus vol 1

I must have been a subscriber for six or seven years. There was a time in my life when the Fantastic Four was undisputedly my favorite comic. The Fantastic Four deal with the Wizard, the Council of Reeds, Nu-Earth, and Franklin Richards' birthday. See? I told you these kids were fucking creepy! Of course, the thing ends with a time-traveler visiting Valeria, and Franklin creating a baby universe. How cool would it be to have Spider-Man drop into your birthday party?! The last issue is Franklin's birthday party, and it's pretty cute. Naturally, that creepy Valeria (once again) knows how to help.Īnd then this random Hulk (Banner Jr.?) jumps up and kicks some ass. There's some kind of battle raging when they get there! The transporter is broken, so they can't get home! A scruffy guy (he pilots the planet or something?) and a brain with mechanical legs are their only hope of getting home! I'd never heard of this place before, so everything about it went over my head.

Johnny and Ben decide to go on vacation to Nu-World, but Valeria and Franklin stow away.dum dum duuuuuum. Most of that story was pretty cool, and I understood what was going on. Fantastic quite a bit more because of the price he wasn't willing to pay.Īs a bonus, I did finally find out where the hell all of the Alternate Reeds sprouted up from, and how Mr. But to do that, to be that great? Well, it comes with a price.Īnd, I have to say, I liked Mr. In this one, Reed challenges himself to Solve Everything. There was still a lot of underlying things going on that I didn't quite get, but for the most part, I was fully engaged in the story. And this volume was a step in the right direction, I think.

Most of the time when I think of this team?īy Sunday, I'm hoping that image will be erased and replaced with something much cooler. Part of the challenge for me this week was to find a Fantastic Four title that really got me interested in.well, a Fantastic Four title. Our FOURTH week of Shallow Buddy reads is a nod to Marvel's oldest family, The Fantastic Four!
