I love the Fantastic Four and they're back, which I love even more. I enjoyed watching them come together as a team and learning more about the kids, hopefully we get more of both in future issues. Read Full Review

This was a great issue and one hell of a good time. This issue exemplifies everything a Fantastic Four comic should be but goes beyond just ticking boxes. Could this be a sign that the creative team is about to kick into a higher gear? If this is the standard to expect from the title going forward, then here's to Dan Slott surpassing his Spider-Man tenure. Read Full Review

Dan Slott does a fantastic job wrapping up this arc with a classic FF feel while weaving his own unique spin on Marvel's first family. The issue was fun and engaging with a hint of the familiar FF banter sprinkled throughout that was clever, clear, and informative. After following Slotts run through all 9 issues, it seems like the Fantastic Four are in good hands at least until Galactus shows up again! Pick this issue up. And while you're at it, go pick up the other 8 too! Read Full Review

In all of comics there is no greater enmity than that of the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom and no more entertaining story than watching Marvels greatest heroes and greatest villain come to blows. For all of Marvels history, the most bitter enemies have been Doom and Mr. Fantasticbut now, with this new twist, Dooms wrath and vengeance will fall on Reeds wife as much as on Reed himself. Up to this point, Dooms attitude towards Sue has been, Beautiful, but married to my mortal enemy and must be destroyed. Now the Invisible Woman is as much Dooms bitter foe as her husband is, and that could get us into some very interesting situations in tales yet to come. Read Full Review

With issue #6 being the conclusion of an arc, FF has a hard time wrapping the story up neatly, but it's not quite as noticeable thanks to some great character work and dialogue. Read Full Review

FANTASTIC FOUR #9 concludes what has been a fairly uninspired arc. Dr. Doom's return to villainy, though fun at first, was a poor choice for the character. Nothing really changed for any of these characters. And though the artwork is fun to look at, it is equally as uninspired as the story. Read Full Review

The issue feels rushed and shallow, despite the seemingly major stakes involved. Read Full Review

Muddy and muddled, this series needs a single solid artist working with Slott, who can put their aesthetic stamp on this in the same way as past Fantastic Four artists. In the end, this is a decent comic book, but it is hardly fantastic. Read Full Review

I have been incredibly up and down with this run, but I feel like every time Slott hits on an idea that might be somewhat interesting, he veers back into familiar, mediocre territory. This issue didn't have to end with a bad call back to a forgettable John Byrne story, but it did, because that's who Dan Slott is, apparently. It didn't have to neatly put all the toys back in the box as if under some odd early-70's Stan Lee editorial dictate, but it did all the same. It's incredibly frustrating to watch, month after month, as he almost gets it and almost understands how to write a good Fantastic Four book, only to shoot himself in the foot the next month, if not pages later.

After an inexplicable mediocre start in his run, Dan Slott gets his act together and delivers a first rate FF story, almost classic, putting at play 2 of the FFs greatest adversaries in a very ingenious story, which showcases every character. The art by Aaron Kuder is great and even teen Franklin and Valeria are not annoying.
Maybe the denouement feels a little too easy, but, knowing Kuder, Galactus and Doom are not finished with each other. This is the book I was expecting to read when Slott was announced on the title.

I just love Doom, and this was such a fun read. Some seeds were planted for the future stories, and, knowing Slott, it might take a few years for them to get resolved, but I am up for it.

Makes Doom look like a baboon, but Kuder's art is still great. Overall, this arc leaves a lot to be desired.

Its a little hokey but overall is a good read. I'm not the biggest fan of the art style but its definitely well drawn. I wish Doom had more time as an Antihero but since the ff have been back hes been totally reverted to villian Doom. I dont think this is a bad issue. There is just nothing special.

Doom is sadly reverted. Dammit status quo.

This issue was filled with good moments and bad moments. Dan Slott's writing can be too goofy sometimes, and this issue is one of those times.

The whole premise of this arc was silly. Doom saps Galactus' power to power Latveria? Seriously? And Doom is going to give the stolen power cosmic to someone other than himself? The characterizations were pretty good, but that was about it. Also, am I mistaken, or didn't Kirby or someone else establish that Doom's face only had the mildest of scars and it was his own warped ego that made him think he was horribly disfigured?

I mostly feel sorry for Doom.
