THE RECKONING WAR CONTINUES!
• "Victor Von Doom: Hero of Earth"
• The last time the Cormorant appeared, he destroyed the Baxter Building and the Latverian Embassy, completely overpowered the Fantastic Four, and left without anyone laying a hand on him.
• Now, for the sake of the universe, Doctor Doom must face him alone. Hail Doom!
• Meanwhile, four of Earth's greatest heroes are trapped in the toxic wastelands of the Barrens...and there is no way for all of them to make it out alive.
• Guest-starring: The Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, and an army of Marvel's most cosmic champions!
RATED T+
As we noted earlier, next issue is going to be mighty crowded. In addition to seeing how Dan Slott will get Reed out of this mess, well also see all sides of The Reckoning War converge on the planet of the Watchers, and learn the ultimate fate of all the Watchers and the forces of Wrath. We can pretty well expect that Doom wont end up with all the marbles as hes planned, but his part in it should be fun to watch. And that will be the start of another Fantastic Four summer.

The Reckoning War continues to consume the Marvel cosmos with multiple characters doing their best to hold on. ‘Fantastic Four' is a pacey, punchy issue that ramps up the action and the stakes. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #43 has Doctor Doom face off against the mysterious alien warrior called the Cormorant. While seemingly a one-off character, the comic does delve into the Cormorant a little that explains his relevancy now in the Reckoning War. The art from Rachel Stott and Andrew Di Vito with Jesus Aburtov's colors is at its best in the fight between Doctor Doom and the Cormorant. There are a series of side developments shown along with Doctor Doom's big fight, some of which advance the Reckoning War's main story. Read Full Review
Pulling together bits and pieces that Slott's been sprinkling through more than a decade of stories, with impressive art and a truly epic scale, it's worth your time and energy. Read Full Review
Nothing on these pages is compelling, despite being competently written and well-illustrated. You forget it as soon as you close the comic. Read Full Review
It's not bad and has enjoyable parts but it's crowded in certain spots and why on earth is the Cormorant appearing out of thin air. The absence from issue 25 to issue 43 just felt unearned and an excuse to bring Doom into the fray. Slott fills the deck with many actors then has trouble juggling the endings so we'll see how he makes this disjointed story into a coherent end. Rachael Stott and Andrea Di Vito worked well together and I couldn't distinguish between the two but the art needs to get better and crisper but I assume that comes with time and practice although time is not on the side of artists at Marvel.
Usin' a couple panels of your dumb-ass won't-change-nothing cosmic war story to take a cheap shot at Doreen Green? You oughta be ashamed, FF creators.
(I know a more charitable reading is that the Cormorant was complimenting Squirrel Girl's prowess, but whatevs. This arc isn't good enough to get my charity and it's not SG's job to lend villain-of-the-week cred to some lame Space Smurf.)
I've been enjoying this run, but the "Reckoning War' storyline is a mess.
This was pretty bad. It had 2 good parts in the whole thing. When Doom dusted that guy and when Reed and Co. were stranded. The rest was a chore to get through.
this issue was okay at best. A lot of exposition and bland art.
