I was created by mistake: a mind of minds, spread out across the vast swath of humanity, unseen but strong, stronger still every day. The world was confusing, but I learned. I grew. And then the Fantastic Four, the world's greatest heroes - themselves led by the world's smartest man - tried to kill me. They failed. But they showed me they were a threat. They showed me I needed to defend myself. They showed me that the Fantastic Four needed to die. And as I strengthen my control over the world, Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm and Alicia Masters will soon learn there's nowhere they can hide...
Rated T+
As a follow up to both the A.I. plot and cliffhanger found in Fantastic Four #14, issue #15 is a triumph. Read Full Review
It's no surprise, but North once again delivers a great new sciency adventure for the Fantastic Four to solve in a single issue. It also resolves a longstanding problem and cements a new era for the team as it grows for the better. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #15 is a frustrating read. North's insistence on introducing a new scientific or philosophical concept in each issue only works when you put in the work to make the concept viable within the context of an engaging story. Issue #15 doesn't make the concept viable and barely makes the story engaging, leaving readers with a half-finished reading experience that only works to set up some conflict down the road.

This is definitely the comic if you like nifty, far out science things, but this issue is somewhat lacking in terms of overall comic book action and excitement. Read Full Review
Fabulous, touching, and inventive. It retroactively improves the already solid previous issue as well. North seems to be overflowing with brilliance.
My favorite issue of this series so far! The return of metamind made the previous issue worth it, and will most likely read better in a collected format. This run by North has been very solid and I look forward to more. Also the Doom moment was just nice.
Probably the most poignant comic North has ever written. I'm sure I'll enjoy the previous story much more once I eventually reread it.
Magnifique work!! A.I. done by Ryan North was beautiful. It's like a 60s black and white Twilight Zone mixed in with Doctor Who dropped in a FF world. Metamind and Reed Richards had some tremendous panels together. It had me caring for it and not wanting to go but as we know it's never the end. Best issue of the series so far. Ivan Fiorelli on art was pretty clean!
Much better than the previous issue. Unfortunately the issues are tied together and so it is dragged down by the disjointedness of the previous issue. Additionally the previous one ended pretty conclusively so I was sort of caught off guard by the fact this is a continuation. Parts of it seem a touch forced.
All that being said, the story is bitter sweet and has some touching moments, which dont really feel as earned as they should be but I will say this. So many of the stories in Marvel are so BS and pointless, the hope that is in this story feels good. I could use some hope in comics. So the end of this book and the explorations into what is a life, are nice. Again not done as well as it could have (I feel like this could have more
Plot
The closure of this first arc is unexpected and extends what was thought to have concluded in #14, therefore it is disconcerting and unnecessary.
Art
It is organic with many textures that enhance the details and gives it an interesting and practical tone.
Summary
The Fantastic Four face off against Metamind in a story that examines existential themes
