Rated T
This is a good issue that has established a strong purpose for the characters that links loosely to the Empyre event. Seeing Wolverine and Spider-Man team-up is always a treat and their use is maximized in the issue. Read Full Review
Well, we have one more FF issue to tie in with Empyre, and from the looks of things its going to be very eventful. How will the Priests of Pama use Jo-Venn to get their hands on the technology of the Omni-Wave Projector, and how will Franklin and Valeria, with an assist from Spider-Man and Wolverine, shut them down? And how will it play into the finale of the Empyre saga? One things for sure: the Richards kids, after this, will have a new reason for not liking their vegetables. Read Full Review
The saving grace here is that some of the tertiary FF characters that Slott has made great over the last several issues play prominent roles here, and it's exciting to see them flourish. Read Full Review
Another fun comic. Empyre isn't near the disaster I thought it would be.
This was all-out fun than anything. I love how Wolverine and Spider-Man are added to it since #21. It really has something to be desired for, I don't have any complaints.
It's a Slott book through and through with Spidey as guest star. Can the FF work without the FF, I am not sure but there was just enough to keep me here for the next chapter. Again Medina and Izaksee have mixed art pages here but it worked well.
Good art with a passable story.
I'm just gonna go out and say it, and people can blast me for it. I miss Dan Slott Spider-Man, and it's pretty clear that Slott misses writing him too. These past 2 issues have been very Spider-Man centric in terms of him having the spotlight and the best lines. It reminds me a lot of Slott's best writing on the character, and it does make me feel a little nostalgic reading it. That's it on that subject, feel free to drag me through the dirt. Otherwise this is a fun tie-in, with this and the X-Men tie in, I'm starting to like the tie-ins more than the main event. SHOCKING I KNOW. I also might continue reading fantastic four after this event because I do think Slott writes the series well even though I dropped it before empyre due to more
Val and Franklin faff around and lose one of their orphans to *squints* Shaolin Cotati fanboys? Okay, whatever. Dull antagonists, dull plot, predictable twist. The orphan loss seems to be a cheap move to make sure this arc fills 3 issues. Top-shelf art and decent dialogue hold it up out of the depths of mediocrity, though.
Observation: Dan Slott is packing this volume with boring new characters that will moulder for decades until the next generation's version of Al Ewing saves them from obscurity. Coming summer 2043, Rise of the Dark Harvest!
Not as good as the first issue. I hope the rest of the New FF do actually appear. And I hope that these next few issues don't end up like usual FF is.
Can this book get any cornier. I just read captain america and this back to back and they are both series that can use a new writer. It has some fun parts but overall its really lacking.
Oh my god there was just so much talking and nobody would shut up. Man this was an annoying read.
