Rated T+
To put it simply, this issue made my heart soar, while simultaneously shattering it. Bravo to everyone involved. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #25 is a special comic. It blends science with romance, wonderment, adventure, and family all in one. The final page puts an emphatic period on the entire experience, forcing the reader to reflect on the very meaning of the moon figuratively in the story and literally via science. It all blends in a magnum opus of science, adventure, and heart. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #25 brings a new misadventure for the team of heroes as their contact with Dr. Dooms new latverian dome takes them to a strange and unfamiliar world. The comic is very much a romance story, but reader mileage will vary based on whether they can get invested in the new character and her relationship with Johnny Storm. Sadly, the romance is the weakest part of the comic. However, its not terribly written, its just the comic delivers a more engaging sci-fi scenario for the Fantastic Four thats evocative of classic Star Trek stories. Read Full Review
I do like the focus on hard science in this version of the Fantastic Four. I even liked the twist, at first, that the FF had been on Earth the whole time. Also, Carlos draws a gorgeous Sue (I love how her hair swirls when they're in low gravity/high orbit). But there are not enough positives here to overcome all the negatives. Read Full Review
This run is hit or miss with more hits than misses. This one though, is a grand slam.
I haven't been this astonished by a FF run since Hickman, and frankly North is better. My only complaint is that every issue is gone too soon; I read them twice in short succession because I'm never ready to step away.
Remarkable storytelling and super art, all in a done-in-one issue. Highly recommended for all comics fans.
Weird ass romance aside, this had one of the best twists I've seen in a comic in a long time.
I don't know I feel about the alien relationship stuff but I absolutely love the science fiction aspect of this run.
Ben punching Johnny was so satisfying lol.
I thought this issue was going to be pure cringe (Johnny falls in love with and alien hahahaheee derp) but it ultimately reminded me of The City on the Edge of Forever from Star Trek and that can't be a bad thing.
I guess this was what kids felt when reading FF in the 60s.
