COMICON - Olly MacNamee
May 04, 2021Fantastic Four #31 is another family focussed one-off issue full of the kind of family drama and dilemmas many of us can relate to. The First Family of the 616 at their best. Read Full Review

May 10, 2021I have to admit, when the ads for this series came along, I was intrigued. Now as it starts, I am curious to how it will all play out. Who says you need big events to make comics fun? Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Apr 29, 2021The Fantastic Four doesn't really get the breather issue that another comic team might, but this one serves the same purpose and makes for a good read. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - ozwoods
Apr 28, 2021Fantastic Four #31 is a cool down issue that tries to get the team to relax and cool off while setting up new plots and story developments. The story's not the best but it's not the worst and the art by R.B. Silva and colors by Jesus Aburtov are still great. The family drama here is fine but nothing too excitable or outrageous. Even Reed and Ben's trip feels a lot more tame than expected. Read Full Review

Please pair Zdarsky with Silva on FF when Slott is done. Thank you.

Minus two points because there is little of Johnny Storm. Plus 0.5 points for the rebonding handling of Mr. Fantastic and The Thing. Story, Art, Colors and Lettering are Tops. Makes my rating 8.5 Stars.

Art is mostly amazing throughout out the run. But writing goes up and down. But this is definitely up from previous awful issue. I liked Johnny being written as Responsible Guy. I get why Sue is anxious about Franklin. But again she was gonna spy. It is good that Johnny stopped her. That's not a good sign of parenting, Sue Storm Richards. Talk with your kids and give him a space too. Not much good parenting from one side is enough. Don't do it from both the side. And about best part, Ben and Reed. Amazing. Thought Space.

A nice little tale that had some pretty good parts and some cornball ones as well. Its did its job of telling a fun little story.

Better but still flailing around to catch a narrative. Silva is always an upgrade on art. Slott is usually better at breather issues but I'm still waiting for a bigger picture here.

Amazing art from Silva but ehhhhhhhh writing from Dan.

Not a terrible issue. Ben and Reed are the reason to read this book. They have the best chemistry of the entire cast and Dan Slott writes them both well enough. Meanwhile, the other characters just seem to be flailing around one bad subplot to the next.

Ben and Reed go on a brief dimension-hop together, but they still have time to join in on the incremental character work that the whole cast is doing this month. Secrets are revealed, future twists are foreshadowed, and quality developments ... develop. It's well-drawn and well-written. And somehow I can't bring myself to care about any of it. Some of these latest revelations should land like gut-punches, but they feel like mouse farts to me.

Foolish mother, you can't teach me to sculpt! I'm a shapeshifter! This makes perfect sense and I will not be taking questions at this time.
