The art is amazing in this issue as well and the artists do a great job of rendering the characters and the amazingly detailed backgrounds. Read Full Review

With this issue and the next, Dan Slott will have completed his re-set of The Fantastic Four. He has the team back together and up and running, in a new home, with the kids older and Ben and Alicia married. He has restored Dr. Doom to his place at the top of the super-villain food chain (and then some). Once we get past the War of the Realms crossover episode scheduled for FF #10, I have a feeling (assuming the art remains consistent) that things are going to start looking really fantastic.

An exciting issue that suffers a bit from the choice to reuse four pages of art within the comic itself. That said, I dig what Slott is doing and it's got Stan Lee vibes all over it. Mix that with an excellent group of artists and Fantastic Four is that weird kind of fun that's hard to replicate. This is big hero comics with the right amount of strange. Read Full Review

FANTASTIC FOUR #8 has a consistently evil and classic feel to it, but at what cost? Dan Slott is seemingly aiming to undo all the progress Doom has made in recent years, which feels like a failure to me. On the upside, at least this issue looks good, thanks to the artistic team. Read Full Review

This is an exciting chapter as Doom, once again, seems to be succeeding in his quest for total world domination. I always love it when Doom puts our quintessential quartet in seemingly inescapable traps. Especially when they're more ingenious then the previous traps. Marvel, at least with the Fantastic 4, seem to be getting back to basics and putting fun back in their comics. Susan plays a pivotal role by this issues end as She shows Doom his"to be continued.

All of that said, #8 is a wonderful issue that made me happy to be reading this run. I have my ups and downs with it, and routinely question what Slott thinks he's doing here, but if he can routinely strike this kind of tone month after month going forward, this might just end up being must-read comics.

I wanted to love this issue, but I had to settle for finding a lot to like amidst some missteps instead. There are some big moments and bigger ideas, and the things working against them don't completely undo what's great. The suspenseful and "ha!" moments really land. Keen to read on and take this as a necessary piece of larger, enjoyable read. Read Full Review

Despite a beautiful and effective visual narrative, "Fantastic Four" #8 misses the opportunity of being as remarkable as the first family can be. Read Full Review

Way too many artists and a storyline that's just a bit too broad hamper would could have been a pretty cool issue of Fantastic Four. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, the artwork is as muddled as the story is brilliant. With four artists working on this issue in interchangeable order, there is no sense of unity to the book. Nothing really looks bad, as such, but there is no clear visual aesthetic and no purpose for the discontinuity. Fantastic Four fans will enjoy themselves, but this issue won't win over any new readers. Read Full Review

A truly fun comic, good job Dan.

You know a book is good when you're rooting for both the heroes and the villains. I'm loving Doom here. Not too keen about artists changing every few pages, but it's all good since the story is so good.

Classic FR feel. Doom, Galactus, and the gang together again. Interesting plot to use his power cosmic as well as classic doom death traps. Loved it!

Slott has a good handle on these guys and it might feel a bit like an homage to Stan and Kirby's F4 but it works well enough here. Dr. Doom doing good by evil means has got me again asking why now? but we'll see how he gets treated further and maybe Slott will explain it better. This book has 4 artists but somehow it's still good because maybe Yackey colored it all and brought it together. Kuder, Marquez, Caselli and Brown deliver some nice scenes but I hope they find one artist and have him do full arcs before switching again. This book would've been awesome with Kuder alone.

This issue was pretty good. Some of the dialogue was rough, though.

I agree with this issue's letter-writers; it's disturbing and disappointing that this volume can't find a regular artist. The constant art shifts and Dan Slott's "greatest hits" plotting reduce this to comfort food. It's tasty if you're in a nostalgic mood, but if you're looking for something daring, this is way too bland.

I’m just so meh on this title and I don’t know why. There is a flaw in me.

I felt like i was reading Stan Lee era FF, and that is not a good thing. The characters developed since then, but this comic put all this in the trash. Dr.Doom trying to kill the FF like that? Franklin far more imature than he was with...5 years? A big cliche in the portrayed of the "kids". One of worst "versions" of Dr.Doom i ever read.
