Everything we have been waiting for was indeed in this very issue. Fantastic Four #3 was a satisfying execution of the full reunion that was met with both thrilling action and sincere character moments. Read Full Review

This was an incredibly fun issue that does everything right in regards to reminding readers why these characters endure. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #3 caps off the family reunion story with all of the wit and heart that was missing from previous issues. It's a thoroughly satisfying conclusion and a powerful, past-due demonstration of what this creative team can do with the title. This volume needed to take a big leap forward; #3 makes an impressive vault and nails the landing, too. Read Full Review

Though FANTASTIC FOUR #3 skimps on the villain a bit, and has some artistic hiccups, it's all well worth it to finally have Marvel's first family reunited! Read Full Review

This issue represents the Fantastic Fourboth the book and its charactersgetting back on their feet after three years of separation and three years without a new issue every month. One more welcome sight is to be found on the cover of the main edition of this issue, with the Esad Ribic painting: the return of the Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine! banner over the title. Regardless of commercial considerations and the relative popularity of other characters who would not even exist if there had been no Fantastic Four, it is this book and only this book to which the designation of The Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine! rightfully belongs. With more appropriate art choices and the sure hand of Dan Slott on scripts, we may yet hope to see another renaissance for the firstand still the bestMarvel comic book. Read Full Review

"Fantastic Four" #3's emotionally potent script is made all the better thanks to the issue's gorgeous artwork. Read Full Review

Again, I'm thrilled to have theseries back - but it still hasn't reached its old heights yet. This is the World's Greatest Comics Magazine - fans deserve nothing less. Read Full Review

Dan Slott brings the Fantastic Four back together with some heart, some action and some humor, which is everything you should want from a Fantastic Four comic. Read Full Review

While it's far from perfect, Fantastic Four #3 is at least on the right track, as Slott and Pichelli put the First Family back on solid ground. Read Full Review

This issue isn't bad, but the creative team has done far better. Read Full Review

Dan Slott's plot is ambitious in scope, but attempts to do too much at once. Cameos feel superficial and suspend belief, such as when Sue Storm is exchanging dialogue with the Griever and just goes invisible to whisk Franklin out of her grasp. Read Full Review

This is a disappointing issue, which is a big blow to Slott's tenure very early in the game. This was one of the big ones. The next big one will be #5 (Legacy #650), featuring the wedding of Ben and Alicia, which has recently been expanded to a whopping 72 pages with an equally whopping $7.99 USD price tag. But a fumble this bad hardly makes me excited to pay double the price or carve out the time to read 72 pages. I'm still in it, though. I'll be back here in a few weeks, keeping the faith. Slott has put together a lot of fun comics over the years, and he plans on writing Fantastic Four for many years. Here's hoping for the best. Read Full Review

Really good. I like seeing all these characters interact again after so long, and in such a fun way. The art was very weak, in my opinion. Too much glossing over of details.

With his very extended family united, Reed Richards has no trouble bamboozling the Griever. It's not a face-punching knockout; he straight-up out-clevers the embodiment of entropy. The rest of the family has plenty to do, and there's time for a lot of heartwarming hugging during and after the fighting. Fundamentally sound portrayals combine with pre-existing love for the characters to produce a good read, but this title is still too young (and the storytelling, unfortunately, is too rushed) to get to all-time greatness.

Ia actually wish there was more of the villian coming in the next issies but it ends here and while its not perfect, its pretty darn good.

Some decent action with a villain that has potential (that has yet to develop into anything 2 years after the release of this issue).

Well this story came to a conclusion very quick, unfortunately quicker than wanted. The art for 90% of the issue was amazing. Feel like a lot happen in this issue that didn't grab my attention as much as I would enjoy. Though we did have some great one liner/ one page scenes.

Gonna have to get better. Right? Good comic and story but only an average to below average FF4 story.

Artistically, this issue lacks the wealth of details that define Pichelli's best work. In terms of story, it's very heavy-handed and deflates much of the tension from the much better #2.

I’m just kind of meh about this whole thing. I’ve never really cared about Reed or Sue or their stupid children, and I can’t really deal with the fact that the concept of entropy could be held back by a handful of costumed heroes and the inability to teleport.

Very bad conclusion. Griever is a very poorly character.
