If you enjoy wonderment, science, or simply adventure, do not pass up Fantastic Four. This book is a pure joy, and it is great at putting a smile on your face while you actually learn something. It's richly rewarding. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #23 is an endearing and funny issue that promises plenty more of that delightful approach ahead in #24. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #23 follows up the aftermath of Blood Hunt with a fun story to cool things down for readers and the team. Like previous stories, there's an initial event that sparks the mystery and threat of this new phenomenon and the Fantastic Four are already on top of it. Granted, this phenomenon is a little similar to a previous story, but it's different enough to warrant two parts. Johnny being the narrator of this comic definitely helps deliver the fun mood this comic is going for. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #23s lighter tone is perfectly timed. And the best thing about it is that North doesnt have to find an excuse to strike that tone. Levity is built into the series DNA, and North is able to slip in and out of these kinds of stories effortlessly. Its a very approachable issue for new readers, playing up the series tendency to showcase actual science and its generally fun atmosphere. Read Full Review
More science fun from North with a Johnny narrated story this time around.
I had never heard of oh-my-god particles before and now I'm strangely fascinated by them.
I'm not the biggest fan of North's (overly silly) style of humor but he actually manages to get a few chuckles out of me here. Overall I really appreciate North's science fiction approach with this title.
