Hey, remember that time Iceman replaced the Human Torch as a member of the Fantastic Four? No? Well, Johnny Storm sure remembers! And now it's time to let everybody else in on the secret of the Fantastic Four story we were never supposed to talk about!
Rated T
Family is important. That is definitely the big takeaway of ‘Fantastic Four'#24 in this fun-filled new issue. Iceman comes a knocking and that leads to hot-head Johnny Storm taking umbrage, leading to the telling of an untold tale in the FF's history. A tale illustrated by Paco Medina and adopting just the right amount of Jack Kirby influence. All in all, a faultless book and one of the best in Dan Slott's run so far. Highly recommended.

This is good comics, people. This is wholesome, heart-warming, clever, beautifully-drawn comics. This is as wonderful a love letter to the Fantastic Four as has ever been written or drawn. Read Full Review
Whatever may occur between The Fantastic Four and The X-Men in the future, this issue gives us a pleasing break from all the cosmic goings-on that have embroiled our heroes for the last few months. And it shows The FF doing what families always dogrowing and changing. It took a couple of years to get to the explanation, finally, of Icemans presence in the battle against The Griever, but it proved to be worth the wait. Next issue: Dr. Doom, Victorious, more surprising fallout from Empyre, and a new cosmic villain! Read Full Review
This is a great feel-good one-shot that melds the X-Men with the Fantastic Four well. As Slott said, the hidden story idea works as it helps inform readers on new details while connecting us with characters in a new way. More and more, Fantastic Four is wholesome and caters to the entire family. It has action, strong familial moments, history for the older readers, and likable young characters too. It's got the entire package. Read Full Review
When there aren't event books happening, this remains such a fun read. Read Full Review
Family fun and fisticuffs in a nostalgic setting that ends with everyone having a seat at the table. Read Full Review
Johnny Storm and Bobby Drake are fan favorites, and many will enjoy this issue as a one-shot that pits the two heroes in a “playful” way. One-shots should be left for annuals, and although this is an “annuals week” in comics, putting this story in the main series didn't progress anything with the ongoing characters or resolve any ongoing issues with the current story.

Fun and very enjoyable. I had a smile on my face the whole time. Paco Medina had some nice art here and it fit perfectly. Aburtov nailed it too!
Now I'm ready to shake things up next issue and I hope Slott delivers.
Not really saying much, but this was the most enjoyment I've gotten out of a comic written by Slott in a while.
Cute issue, but basically filler til the new sci-fi arc that Silva has been teasing. I'm hopping back on purely for that since RB Silva is a great artist, and it looks really good
It's a few slices of "alien kids say the darndest things" cheese on top of a greasy ole nostalgia burger. That suits my taste (just), but I can see that it's chasing a niche audience.

The FF story itself is great, but I really do not appreciate paying $3.99 for half the book being a fortnite story
Pointless, but I had fun.
This was fine. It hit some of that 60s FF camp with the flashbacks, but ultimately this wasn't a necessary story. It was fun enough. The Thor back up by Donny Cates was also fine. It was meant to usher in a new story in Fortnite, it's not anything too special. I'm not sure why it's in this random FF issue, and not a Thor issue.
It was a fun read. Didnt mean anything to the series in terms of plot but it was fun for what it is. Readable and enjoyable. Nothing special.
I skimmed a lot of this.
