Comic Crusaders - M.R. Jafri
Sep 09, 2020Overall this issue brings a joyful change to the family dynamic and a massive complication in the return of Uatu. This issue certainly gives the title some momentum going forward. Hopefully Fantastic Four is able to build on these changes quickly and continue to entertain and surprise us. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - J.A. Fludd
Sep 10, 2020Well, if you want to talk about characters growing and changing, it looks as if The Thing and Alicia becoming foster parents will set the stage for exactly that. With Jo-Venn and NKalla going from being mortal enemies to sworn friends and now living under the roof of The Fantastic Four (and the still-unexplained connection between NKalla and Alicia), things are bound to be interesting for our Fantastic family going forward. Are Jo-Venn and NKalla ready for Yancy Street? Is Yancy Street ready for them? Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Sep 09, 2020When all is said and done, Fantastic Four Empyre: Fallout #1wraps up the Empyrestoryline in a nice clean bow. With some humor, and a fair measure of heart, Slott and company send off Marvels latest company crossover on a truly feel good note. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin
Sep 09, 2020Combining real heart and insight into the Fantastic Four with some necessary event wrap-up business works out well in Fallout. It looks great, the family sounds right, and the book is a lot of fun to read. Top it off with a bombshell of a surprise ending (one that demands a follow-up!) and this turns into a must-read.

Black Nerd Problems - Chris Aiken
Sep 10, 2020Aside from some great character moments, this event does a lot of foreshadowing. It wouldn't be a comic book event after all without teasing what's next. While there isn't much action, Sean Isaaske sets the right atmosphere to match the story. The Unseen lurks in the shadows again and does much more than be the Watcher's substitute. There is also the matter of who supplied the Cotati army with advanced weapons, which is a plot thread that kind of comes out of nowhere. None of the books ever seemed to touch on this either. Either way, Empyre: Fallout Fantastic Four #1 is the better of the two epilogues. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Sep 08, 2020This is a good epilogue to Empyre, wrapping up loose ends and preparing us for big shifts in future stories. More than anything else this is a great time with heroes we love for 20 or so pages. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Sep 15, 2020A strong issue that gives us a breather and some quiet time with the characters before setting up the next big thing with a shocking return. I like it. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - Dispatchdcu
Sep 08, 2020Overall, this issue tries to wrap up the EMPYRE event and introduces new components to the FANTASTIC FOUR story moving forward. There were a few hallmark moments involving Ben and Alicia, as well as the resurgence of a missing key player to the Marvel Landscape. However, was it really needed in its own issue? No. Frankly, the biggest positives of this issue are the redirection of the series ahead and the end to an event that was mediocre and flat at best. Read Full Review

A bit directionless, as there is a lot to close. Thor is great here This is the reason FF exists: Family.

While not as interesting as the Avengers issue, this was pretty good. I liked some of the character moments. I think the FF are represented well here. I am intrigued by the ending. I just re-read Original Sin for my Hickman Avengers re-read, so that doesn't feel quite so pointless now. I'm glad Uatu is back, and I'm pretty sure those weapons came from The Watchers, so I'm excited to see where that leads. Hopefully, it is something covered by Al Ewing and not a future Fantastic Four arc.

Fun and good read! That final reveal is intriguing but I'm not the biggest fan of Original Sin so we'll see.

Family comes first in this epilogue that ties off the Cotati threads before closing with a bombshell. Like the Avengers epilogue, this one is scattershot, but it has a stronger central plot: the fate of Kree/Skrull war orphans. Excellent art and heartwarming character work is balanced against some definite cheese in the dialogue. I smell an intentional and shameless Scooby-Doo reference from Quoi.

I thought for sure Spider-Man and The Human Torch were going to make out.

Another plot twist and another mystery in the Marvel universe. Fun read and great writing for the Fantastic Four and their new members!

Eh this was okay. There were some good moments but also some annoying moments, what can you do.

Sigh. Slott's style of dialogue is annoying, its reminds me of Bendis. This issue is WAY TOO VERBOSE. I just did the same thing and skipped pages. Using alot of small bubbles excessively, it just becomes a chore to get through. However, even despite all the walls of words, Slott does manage to pull put some great moments, especially with Thor. This just serves to cap off the entire conflict with the Cocati. Some nice art, a great conclusion to the fighting children and the FF, and a banger cliff-hanger than can spring into a future event that might have some potential. An epilogue unnecessarily pestered with dialogue, but a decent epilogue overall.
