review 1: A wonderful finale. Hickman gives voice to the full ensemble cast he's gathered during his run, Moloids and mermen, the Dragon Man, Alex Powers and more. He has a lot of fun but also invests real growth and meaning in his characters, recruiting a new genius from Wakanda and offering a satisfying farewell to future Franklin, who guides his younger self into assuming power cosmic.The Human Torch has some great cameo moments as well. He tries to explain reproduction in substitute teaching the little crew of geniuses, "Sometimes a man loves a woman...or, I guess, a fish person loves a rock person, or whatever." He also loses the leadership of the Negative Zone when rebels demand free elections and put Annihilus into power through a write-in campaign, a funny and fair reset of ... morethe status quo.I found the main Fantastic Four run to be a little more hidebound, but I enjoyed the fluidity and inventiveness of this cast. Great stuff.Read digital versions.
review 2: I was under the impression that the last 6 months of Jonathan Hickman's FF/F4 run would be inconsequential stories to pad out the end of his run. I couldn't have been more wrong.These tales conclude all of Hickman's longstanding plotlines whilst leaving some threads danging for other writers or Hickman himself to pick up on later down the road, as well as prepping certain characters for Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers plans too.These stories are alternatively funny, clever, heart-breaking, and all absolutely flawless. The art from Dragotta, Walta, and Araujo is not your mainstream comic art, but works wonders on these familial stories which are all fairly light on action but high on emotional beats.Thank you Jonathan Hickman for another superb collection. less
