• When N'Kalla - Skrull and adopted daughter of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters - sees her brother Jo-Venn get in trouble at school and be sent to the principal's office, she does the sisterly thing... which is, of course, to shape-shift into a double of their father Ben to get him out of it!
•  And when her cousin Valeria gets in trouble, "Reed Richards" arrives to get her off the hook, and soon "Sue Storm" is excusing Franklin for his misbehavior too...
•  But when she gets caught in her deceptions and grounded, things go from bad to worse when a super villain attacks and the Fantastic Four are nowhere to be seen!

Fantastic Four #27 is a fun, character-driven detour that highlights Nicki Masters-Grimm's youthful perspective and powers, but its low stakes and filler nature make it feel like a breather rather than an essential installment. Read Full Review
Continues to be my favorite marvel book, carried by the writing and Done in one format. Art is good, but I still don’t think they’ve found the perfect artist for this book.
I didn't like everything (some of the dialogue didn't work for me), but the stuff I did like, I REALLY liked. Props to North for that scene where Ben has a one on one with Nikki.
Oh Mole Man how I missed thee. Cummings' art is fine but I wish his line work was a tad sharper. Another fun, low stakes issue overall with some great character work for Ben and Alicia's kids.
this was a cute issue
Cute issue, but a few things keep it from being as good as some previous issues.
Art felt like a decent step down. It doesnt 'jive' with the previous issue styles, especially that this was a kid issue. Too dark and thick lines, too 'gritty' for a kid issue.
Writing felt sloppy. I dont think North has a good voice for N'Kalla. I mean she is a newer character, but this felt more like an adult trying to teach a lesson through a kid rather than a kid actually speaking. North might know how to write the FF but he doesnt do a good job with the kids.
Overall plot line was just kind of weak. Without the weird science fun, the book just doesn't have its spark.
Nice lesson but a missed opportunity sadly. more
