Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman

review 1: This was my first real attempt at reading Fantastic Four. And yet, I kind of feel like I know the characters, at least on a basic, shallow level. Hickman didn't really write anything that would make me change my mind about any of them, but I really don't think he was trying to reinvent the characters. That's fine. Not everything needs to be reinvented. I'm looking at you, DC. The stories here are solid and fairly well told, if nothing terribly exciting. The multiversal council of Reeds is a really cool concept, and I liked how that story was resolved. I was surprised at how much I liked the story about Franklin's birthday. I can't say that I expected much from it, and though it is a quiet story, it isn't a boring one. Just watching Johnny wallow in his jealousy of Spidey i... mores worth the price of admission.I'm going to give Hickman's run a go, see where it takes me. I don't expect to become an FF fan, but that's ok.
review 2: In the midst of reading a lot, it seems much of it is okay to fair, and it is a great surprise when you run across something that reminds you what really good and great is like. This collection is great. Wonderful characters that drive the plot, which still leaves room for them to have their own little moments. Ever optimistic and brilliant Reed teams up with alternate universe versions of himself to Solve Everything in the first outrageous but completely appropriate to the character story. My favorite moment in the this collection is Sue Richards talking to the poor little clone of the Wizard who insists on calling himself 32 because he is just a clone, but still wants a corner piece of birthday cake like a normal little kid. less
