FANTASTIC ZERO!

It all comes down to this! Thirty-three issues of fantastic adventure culminate in a final stirring adventure, back to the beginning...of EVERYTHING. When the solution to what Doom did to Ben can only be found in the past, the Fantastic Four must voyage back four hundred and thirty-six quadrillion seconds into the Big Bang! Of course, the tremendous energies there make it unsurvivable - unless H.E.R.B.I.E. is in control of the precise timing required. Action, adventure and big ideas collide in this special finale issue - which leads into our even more special new #1 issue, coming next month!

    Ryan North didnt just write a love letter to The Fantastic Four, he dropped it in a time capsule, shot it into the origin of the universe, and let a sentient love toaster deliver it by hand. Fantastic Four #33 is clever, heartfelt, and completely, unapologetically weird. In other words, its exactly what this team should be. Read Full Review

    Fantastic Four #33 is at best tangentially related to the event its branded with. But ultimately One World Under Doom created a storyline that is perhaps the most emotionally affecting of the series current run. The entire creative team delivers top notch work. Its strange to say this about a runs final issue, but Fantastic Four #33 encapsulates the best parts of the series and is perfect for new readers. Read Full Review

    Fantastic Four #33 closes out Ryan North's run with brains, heart, and a surprising hero in H.E.R.B.I.E. which is fitting since each character got a time to shine. It delivers a finale that emphasizes family, sacrifice, and big cosmic ideas, even if it's more talk than tussle. Read Full Review

    Fantastic Four #33 concludes not only this story arc but this run as a whole. Like the rest of the series, we get a solid sci-fi adventure with an impossible challenge for the Fantastic Four to overcome. Of course, Herbie steals the show this time around and demonstrates why he's a valued member of the team, ending the comic and the run with a heartwarming tone. Read Full Review

    For me, a very poignant ending for the first volume of North's Fantastic Four run.

    I liked the issue overall, but Marvel needs to end the practice of relaunching a title with the SAME writer just because they're addicted to those #1 issue sale spikes. It is really fucking annoying and beyond idiotic. Tom Brevoort needs to retire in my opinion as he's had far more misses than hits in the last ten years. North's FF, for me however, has been an exception because at least the team's Silver Age roots were made apparent whereas I can't tell what the fuck Brevoort's goal with X-Men is right now or has been with Avengers.

    This wasn’t too bad compared to the last few issues. I mean, it still had mediocre, lifeless art, horrible dialogue and terrible writing decisions (telling the story from Herbie‘s point of view, then learning about his final fate off-screen). But I also felt some sense of wonder about the grandeur and strangeness of the universe. It seems that just as a broken clock is right twice a day, Ryan North is able to convey what the FF are all about in very rare occasions.

    Another issue long science lesson that falls apart easily. The team are at the nano-micro-minisecond in the big bang - a place that is beyond an instant, yet Herbie has time to narrate the entire issue, where the comic rays have time to irradiate Ben, where there's time for sound effects upon thier arrival and departure.

    And it's just 'any' cosmic rays that can do the job? If so there's plenty of astronauts and cosmonauts that should have powers then (not to mention all the people living/working in the numerous orbital satelites the MU has - and not to forget all the MU characters that have gone up, or that even ground based people get slammed with tens of thousands cosmic rays every day).

    Am I making too much of thi more
