    There's been a lot of action in this series lately. Jonathan Hickman (with Ron Garney and Jason Kieth on art and color) give the characters a chance to catch their breath. These types of stories are great to see once in a while as action after action can get overwhelming and possibly monotonous. When it's time for the action to slow down a bit, this is where writers have to show their versatility as well. What begins as a simple trip into the future (only in comic books can you say going to the future is simple), the story soon takes off and Hickman shows us why so many of us have been enjoying his run on the series. His stories often go in directions we're not expecting and his ability to surprise us comes across as genuine rather than feeling forced. I've been a fan of FANTASTIC FOUR since I first started reading comics and I'm loving everything that Hickman is giving us. Read Full Review

    This is, to put it simply, an awesome issue. Hickman and Garney are at their best, the characters have never felt truer to themselves, and this may well be the greatest Thing story of all time. And youre telling me Hickmans only sticking around until the fall? Crap. Read Full Review

    Seeing how epic storylines that threaten the fate of the universe have become commonplace in this title, it is nice to have a chapter that takes a breather and refocuses on what is most important to these characters. Last time Reed was left to his own devices, he tried to fix everything with a group of alternate dimension Reeds and almost destroyed everything he held dear, so it shows character growth that he now decides to go on a science field trip with his dad and spend some time with his best friend.

    "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" has been a dense read for the past few years, despite the fact that comic fans have been drawn to the title due to the acclaim pointed in its direction. "Fantastic Four" #605, however, is about as open and inviting an issue as fans could hope to find, especially given that this issue is roughly Hickman's fortieth on the title. Fantastic Four fans looking to find a way back to the title would do well to pick this book up, as would fans of the Thing. After all, you never know what tomorrow is going to bring now that Jonathan Hickman has rewritten it. Read Full Review
