Don't bring your war to Yancy Street...
Rated T
Fantastic Four #10 is that rarest of all comics " an event tie-in that can be read by regular readers and crossover followers with equal ease. Read Full Review
I had a lot of fun reading this issue. It has great energy that I hope carries through to future issue. There are lots of moments that are just fun and exciting. It also has some themes that really speak to me. Read Full Review
With our heroes and the kids now settled in to their new home, all the pieces are in place for renewed and continued Fantastic Four greatness. The next order of business, to be taken up next issue, is the honeymoon of Ben and Alicia. And what better time to bring back yet another FF tradition: An epic battle between the many-splendored Thing and the ever-incredible Hulk! Thats for next issue. Read Full Review
Slott takes an event tie-in and finds a way to progress his story, his characters, and possibly set up a Future Foundation book in the process. Read Full Review
Yeah, it's still good. There's a fair bit to like, but overall this issue was kind of uneven. It does well to not force the War of the Realms crossover into it, but it kind of destabilizes the molecules of the smaller stories that this issue really should have been about. Despite the involvement of the big-bad-company-wide crossover, this issue continues to shower love on the heart of the Fantastic Four. Family. Read Full Review
This is easily the weakest installment of this new Fantastic Four series to date, but that's okay because Slott has raised the bar pretty high to this point. The crossover is just a small misstep on a nearly perfect series. That all said, it's still a mostly enjoyable read. Read Full Review
The Fantastic Four try to have a quiet day on Yancy Street, but the War of the Realms drops Frost Giants in their laps. The brisk script and gorgeous art make the fight satisfying and also turn it into a vehicle for further character exploration, particularly of Franklin and Val. I believe the creators do better with the latter than the former, even if their intentions were the opposite. It's an ambitious story that doesn't achieve all its goals, but it'll definitely warm the heart of a reader who likes her FF familial and friendly first. Read Full Review
FANTASTIC FOUR #10 is, above all else, an annoying issue to read. The dialogue and pacing are all over the place, and any central character arcs feel rushed and insignificant. The artwork is the most redeeming quality of this issue, but even that can't save it entirely. Read Full Review
A balance between a traditional Fantastic Four story and a typical event tie-in; this issue focuses on Franklin Richards, who's now a stereotypical teenager. Read Full Review
Pretty good for an event tie-in.
Val and Franklin struggle to fit into Yancy Street, making peace with the neighborhood just as Frost Giants show up to try and stomp it flat. I couldn't be happier with the content and tone; I do love my FF with an extra serving of family interactions. The visuals are good tending to great, but the artist carousel is still a problem. Paco Medina's Sue stood out in a bad way for me, for some reason. If I'm repeatedly distracted by asking myself "OK, is that Sue?" then I'm not giving my full attention to the story.
Breezy and fun. On to the next arc!
A nice tie-in that actually spends most of its pages building on the character arcs that have been previously established. Definitely important to read if you're reading FF. But it's not essential to WotR at all.
A nice filler that sort of ties into the War of the Realms. I'd rather have the next arc, but this was ok.
An adequate tie-in!
This issue showcases Slott’s greatest weaknesses as a writer: privileging gimmicky plots and twists over character, as happened in his Spider Man run. So as good as his ideas sometimes are, they get bogged down by a Saturday cartoon quality. And here the story is not even good.
Godlike Franklin Richards is having an identity crisis. This is a guy who has created and destroyed universes. And what do Reed and Sue do? They send him to a community youth center in Yancy Street. Really? This is not only horrible parenting but recklessness and stupidity, when you are talking about a kid who can at least destroy the Earth.
Then another Slott big flaw, cheap sentimentality, with all the Yancy kids stuff. The FF needs a top tier writer to more
