Mar 04, 2009It's a shame that DR: Fantastic Four is Hickman's unofficial first F4 book, because it's underwhelming. I suppose there's a fair chance he's saving all the big, Internet-breaking ideas for the next issue and these are just the warm-up act, but regardless, I wasn't too impressed with this one.

Comics Bulletin - Matthew J. Brady
Mar 03, 2009Given this single issue, it's hard to judge whether the series will be worth reading. Hickman does set up a story that could well be very good, but the fact that he doesn't do much more than that here is kind of a mark against him. And the artwork doesn't help, either. So, this first issue only gets a mild recommendation, but keep an eye out for the rest of the series. It could be a keeper. Read Full Review

The Weekly Crisis - Kirk Warren
Mar 04, 2009While I did enjoy this, there's that pesky $3.99 price tag and the fact this is almost entirely setup for the remainder of the series with few reasons for nonFantastic Four fans to really jump in. Read Full Review

A joyous start to Hickman's legendary run on the Fantastic Four.

No idea why the critics disliked this book so much. It wasn't a "10", but it was interesting set-up. I suppose the lack of action scenes hurt the perception.
