I keep hoping for big things from this series, but so far, it's hasn't lived up to its "greatest comic" legacy - it's good, but that's all. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #18 does a good job unpacking the title's latest revelations while also keeping the action rolling breathlessly. Though the previous issue made a big tweak to the team's origin, now it's constructively tied into the ongoing arc. The art team aligns distinctive styles into a consistent story, and all of them keep up admirably with the script's busy pace. Read Full Review

More good old action and adventure as only mighty Marvel can bring it. I love the Overseer's outlook, it seems to be similar to Thanos, if only for the planet Sprye, instead of the universe. His solution to bringing balance to his homeworld may not be as devastating as Thanos was for the universe but resulted in tragedy nonetheless. The usual team conflicts threaten to break up the family dynamic but Reed succeeds, as always to put things together in a satisfactory way. Some may think this is cliched, but I prefer to think of it as a trope, as long as our heroes behave in the ways we've come to expect and rise to the occasion to succeed, I'm more than happy with the outcome of this issue which promises" to be continued. **** (8.8 rating) Read Full Review

Final ThoughtsI need more of this. Its a revelation, as in the storm that gave them their powers. And, its a powerful message about how doing things for the best of intentions, can also lead you to agonies. It's serious stuff. Plus, if you havent read the series so far but find yourself having room in your heart, go back to issue 15 and read from there. It has made me understand and empathize with Thing and Johnny in new ways. Read Full Review

This remains one of the most exciting Fantastic Four stories in some time. Read Full Review

It's nice to see the Fantastic Four out of their element, even with several art styles in the same issue, and the ending shakes everything up again, making for a great cliffhanger. Read Full Review

While it certainly has the action of the F4, Fantastic Four #18 is too hectic to be a winner. Read Full Review

It was good! Some would call them retcons others would call them flushing out old threads and making them new again but whatever it is some work well and others not so much! The concept and ideas are great but the way the story comes apart toward the end. I was there with The Thing until it fell apart in the rubble with the Overseer. So the highs were good but they didn't sustain.
The art was mixed artists but it kinda worked overall. Some were clean sharp along with busy, beautiful and border line crowded. The colorist Arciniega makes the blend better.
What any comic book needs is consistency and F4 has yet to get a full arc with one artist. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't keep up with how many artist worked on this book the last year and half which kills it for me. more

This was pretty good. They keep trying to pull more twists with each issue and not all them are needed but it is what it is and its good for what we got. Its been a lot of fun.

Stop it Dan.

When Carlos Magno comes aboard the artist carousel, well, that's the exact moment I need to get off and have a little lie-down.

Very poor artwork.

So a third rate villain is responsible for the creation of the FF.
It’s an intriguing concept which somewhat fails in the execution, as has consistently happened in Slott’s run.
It feels like a FF’s 70s Roy Thomas or Gerry Conway story, which is good and bad in that It introduces a throwaway new world, with throwaway heroes.
But once again, the retcon is intriguing and could have some story potential for the future.

This felt rushed. Again, the best part is The Thing. Dan Slott should be writing a Thing solo.

I just don’t care for this at all. Nobody speaks like real people, and the plot is so whatever.
