Fraction and Bagley are working on establishing Marvels First Family as one of the most interesting teams in the Marvel universe. The Avengers and X-Men are cool and hip at the moment, but dont pass on the Fantastic Four. This issue proves that they have just as much heart and intrigue as any other team Marvel has to offer.

This issue also features the best Bagley work we have seen to date. Perhaps this has to do with new inker Andrew Hennessey or perhaps there's just more of a focus on the characters and anatomy. Either way, everything in this issue looks superb. Previously, the Richards children looked somewhat off, but that isn't the case here. Fantastic Four #7 looks fantastic and how could we hope for anything more? Read Full Review

Fraction delivers a clever ending to this two-parter, with an interesting hook and some great dialogue. Ben and Johnny finally learn Reed's secret about their degenerating powers and Ben's withdrawal from the family is confronted, setting him up for a more personal arc in the next issue. Bagley's artwork continues to impress, his dynamic panel compositions and action sequences brought to life by Mounts' colors. A highly enjoyable read. Read Full Review

Now is Ben going to get his wish? Are we going to see what the FF have been up to while the Fantastic Four have been gone with crazy future Johnny there as well? Or will things go horribly wrong and will Marvel's first family end up somewhere (or again some-when) else entirely? Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #7 certainly seems to be an improving direction for the series, and a particularly good read for those mainly interested in the characters for being incredibly ingenious. Read Full Review
