When the Wizard and the Frightful Four menace the FF both in AND out of the courtroom, it’s time to call in everyone’s favorite green lawyer: the Sensational She-Hulk! All this and some surprise Marvel U. guest stars...and a new development for a member of the Richards family.
The Fantastic Four tackle a very different challenge in their latest adventure. The childcare arrangement of The Wizard's clone-child, Bentley-23. Luckily they have the She-Hulk fighting their corner, but will this be a case she cannot win? It certainly looks like it from where I'm standing in this witty and intelligent courtroom comedy-drama.

We know, of course, that the Wizard is neither the law-abiding citizen that he claims to be, nor is his interest in Bentley one of mere paternal concern. Bentley has already begun to catch on that his father has somehow been spying on him, and we can be pretty sure that what the Wizard really wants is not a son but a protege in evil. Of course, this being a courtroom story, knowing this and proving it are two different things, and it looks like the FF are going to have their hands full just keeping their own family intact! This will all have to be sorted out somehow next issue. Read Full Review
This court case delivers, with a fantastic villain in the Wizard and a well executed guest appearance from Jennifer Walters. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #38 tells a fun story that is a bit of a jumping back on point for Fantastic Four readers. The story has its flaws, notably the comic introducing a potential retcon for one of the main villains in the comic. However, the comic book still manages to be fun for what it is, and the art and colors by Francesco Manna and Jesus Aburtov are pretty good. Read Full Review
This is almost certainly what one would call filler, but it's actually really fun so...
I can't say why I kept reading the book even though prior to this, I found it not worth it. But this issue was fun. It was good.
Dan Slott writes the FF like such idiots in this issue.
So Dan Slott's clearly feeling nostalgic for the time he was writing She-Hulk's solo. Now he's chucked the FF into one of her absurdist super-court shenanigans.
I loathe the premise, but it's not done poorly. She-Hulk remains a supporting character; this is still a Fantastic Four comic. It's wordy and a little slow, but not dull. There are plenty of superpower confrontations, giving the artist opportunities to prove he can handle far more than just custody conversations. This is not my cup of tea, but it's not a *bad* cup of tea.
(Isn't it *damned* handy that Jason Aaron just reset She-Hulk back to her 2015 status quo in this week's Avengers?)
It was OK. This book is back to dragging until we get to the Reckoning then that will decide if I stick with this Slott fest!
It's the fantastic four in court... it was pretty boring overall but, had some ok parts.
It wasn't great but it did keep me entertained. Kind of a dumb plot though. A legal custody battle over the wizard's clone? Ummm....OK.
