Fantastic Four #3 brings readers another misadventure, this time with Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch. Ryan North and Iban Coello give readers an exciting intro to the comic and North really embraces the fun-loving, charming, and mature aspects of Johnny's character that tend to go ignored in most other stories and the pair deliver a fun story for the Human Torch. The comic also has an interesting ending that sets things up for the next issue to be very interesting. Read Full Review

I'm really excited about this volume of fantastic four as we've now had 3 thoroughly enjoyable books. This was another great issue that was a blast to read.

This run's going very well! I'm liking it.

Wow. A Marvel character in the modern era actually acting like a hero. I'm genuinely surprised that North didn't resort to Johnny burning the grocery store owner to a crisp because "Capitalism = bad".

A fun callback to Byrne's run

It's a pretty nice house, but it's built on a crumbling foundation.

The pro-labor premise is good. Johnny's voice sounds great, and there's plenty of humor. The art looks good (maybe a touch too cartoony?).

But the logic of the plot leans too hard, for too long, on this iffy "Johnny Storm can't figure out how to beat a mook without hurting him" proposition. Johnny's impulsive and brash, but he's not a total moron.

Other than that, it's a satisfying read.

I'm enough of a retro nerd to know that "Johnny Storm sucks at secret identities" is a grand tradition going back to the early Silver Age.

Fun and corny for the most part. Not very involved. I could use some stakes.

Not a big fan of this one. It seems very mundane and is wrapped up way too easily. I still don't understand why Alicia and Ben are missing? The last we saw of them, they were on vacation. Now, suddenly they are missing? Who's watching the kids? This has become a mess. The covers are nice though. At least there's something. I'm definitely not excited about what comes next. I'm pretty close to dropping it and coming back later when things heat up a bit.

I loved the first 2 issues but I would not read this issue again. The art is good but the story is weak and feel like a worker right awareness campaign issue wrote by committee.
The subject matter should be treated with intelligence and talent.
