Ratings and reviews

Firstly, I want to state my general position on reboots; I love them. They take a good concept but which is dated in format and vastly improve the overall package. Just when you think the next reboot cannot improve on the last reboot there is a pleasant surprise (think Spider-Man). But this isn't it, sadly. Certainly the art and layouts are worse. Best missed if you have seen the last reboot.

Alberto Aguirre-Sacasa is a man who knows how to write Fantastic 4. His run on Marvel Knights 4 is seminal reading. It was fun to see him romp in their origins. Alberto has a very organic dialogue approach that is fresh and dynamic. Pretty rare in comics.

This is really good for an introduction of Fantastic Four members in the new era. Although it's a 2011 book but it still looking relevant to these days with a great artwork, color & amazing storyline! With a cameo from the 1st Marvel superhero, Namor! The whole fighting action him with the Storm siblings is highlight of this book! Credit to the color artist! 👏. Awesome job!
