"Point of Origin" Part 2
Everyone knows the story of the brave souls who were bombarded by cosmic rays and transformed into superhuman beings, how they became their world's first line of defense against all alien threats. They are The Unparalleled! Seven super heroes who now must fulfill their destiny by defeating the fearsome, foretold forces of The Fantastic Four! Wait. What?!
Rated T
Fantastic Four is back to being a bold, bright, rowdy and original sci-fi action-adventure. By the end of the issue even after introducing a ton of new characters - it goes by quick - you feel as if you've experienced something that is so rare in comics: infinite possibilities. Read Full Review
Where does the prophecy about The Fantastic Four come from, and will The FF become a part of the world of Spyre forever? Will The Thing be overrun by the monsters of the planets underworld? Why does Sky think The Human Torch is her soulmate, and what will Citadel have to say about that? These questions and many others will be answered in the next issue of The Fantastic Four!

Dan Slott changes perspectives and we get a completely different outlook on the Fantastic Four. I think he did a Fantastic job! Read Full Review
With a blend of classic FF antics and new space-age characters, this is a great kick off to a seriously exciting ride. Read Full Review
The heroes (and this comic) are finally exploring new territory. Read Full Review
This issue is alright. It's mostly world building, which isn't always exciting. Hopefully though the next issue will be more exciting now that the ground work is all laid out. The art is still really great though. Read Full Review
Last issue's cliffhanger leads to such a boring and unimaginative new issue that I've halfway convinced myself that Dan Slott is pulling a prank on us, just to give myself some hope that this can be redeemed. Read Full Review
Slott's really picking up the game in the past couple issues. I really liked this issue, it's what the Fantastic Four are about: adventure, science, and family. They're super-heroes on Earth, but that isn't their main job, they were scientists to start with. The art's pretty good, wouldn't say it's amazing. Hopefully Slott can continue doing well on this book, not really a fan of his Iron Man
Some good action here.
A bit of a letdown after such a stellar last issue. The idea is great but the delivery was lacking a bit for me. Having the perspective of the Unparalleded on the story while I go on for pages not understanding what any of the F4 are saying was a turn off for me. I get what they wanted to do but it didn't work for me. The art was great and the transition between artists was noticeable but did not take from the story.
" Now yer speaking my language ! "
- THE THING
I liked the twist on the story. It was the only way to make what is a common story into something a little more interesting. Still not a homerun like the last issue.
Not sure what I was expecting to come out of this but, this definitely wasnt it. It was not bad at all though. Its been pretty standard FF right now. Sometimes I wish this book would get just a little more serious. It just sometimes is silly but, overall a good read.
The story recasts the FF as alien invaders of the planet Spyre, sketched out with its own squad of heroes (overlarge) and Star-Trek-y social gimmicks (arranged marriages, divided society, sinister Overseer). The visuals are solid; the script tears off huge Silver-Age-y mouthfuls of scenery. This arc looks to be headed in a "planet of the week" direction, which isn't bad per se, but the setup in the last issue could have launched something so much better.
Man, don’t you hate it when your universal translator goes on the fritz just long enough for you to have a fight scene, and then suddenly you are not four-told monsters at all but you get to marry a hot bird?
