Fantastic Four #5 continues the series stellar new run. Norths writing is a little more complex. And though the artist is different here, the issue doesnt miss a step. This series remains a must-buy even for readers not usually dedicated to Fantastic Four. Read Full Review
In Fantastic Four #5, a road trip is in order for this family, but danger and death are around the corner in ways that you don't see in any other superhero comic. This series continues to capture the family feel of the team, the eclectic voices, and an endearing quality that's hard to resist. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #5has some old foes face the Fantastic Four, but there's more to their fight than just the battle. Nick Scratch and the Salem Seven come in, fight, and once they've accomplished their goal, the real story is seeing the Fantastic Four figure out what to do next to fix the problem. The writing is good, and the art from Ivan Fiorelli is excellent and maintains the visual energy and action from the past issues. Overall, the comic is a fun side adventure with the Fantastic Four.

This is a fun single issue story that shows what this new status quo can live up to. It's well worth checking out, and a great indication of what could be to come. Read Full Review
An otherwise enjoyable issue of the Fantastic Four is bogged down a bit with long-winded science explanations for what exactly is going on. Read Full Review
The scale of Fantastic Four #5 meets the stature of its villains providing a lackluster installment. Read Full Review
Fantastic Four #5 continues the bizarre road trip with a magical attack that sounds scientific and smart but ultimately hides a boneheaded plot. The leaps in logic are ridiculous, the dramatic tension is completely absent, the villain's plan is silly, and the outcome makes it seem like this entire issue was intentionally pointless. At least the art is great, so that's something. Read Full Review

After 5 issues I'm already getting the impression that this could be one of the great and memorable volumes of fantastic four. Ryan north seems to be an almost perfect fit as writer of this book.
Not as good as previous issues, I wish it was more focused. It's still good.
I liked this a lot. People who didn't are wrong and bad.
The central conceit was maybe a hair too clever and required too much exposition, and I can't help but wonder if it's harmed by the fill-in, since it seems like the kind of thing that Coello would do wonders with. I'm still enjoying this comic and North's take on the characters enough that I'm having a good time despite the flaws though.
It’s okay for comics to be silly! And silly this was. A fun adventure that could have been benefited by another issue to explore the ideas introduced but this read like a classic silver age Fantastic Four tale to me. Been enjoying this run so far but I’d like to see some more linear plot progression and direction.
Too convoluted to really be that entertaining. I also dislike that everyone is hating on the FF for one big mistake when they've literally saved the universe a million times over. I understand some people can't see past their own nose but come on.
This is the first issue I've really found to be lacking. Overall still liking this run and hoping we get more stories like the first two books in the future.
It provides some fun. It's kind of cartoonist. It's alright I guess for what it is.
Thanks for the chemistry lesson, Ryan.
I don't think the writer really understands these characters. I'd prefer to have the writer back that did the home invasion issues prior to North coming on. They started this very stupid plot in the last issue where they lost the kids. There was no reason for it, by the way, they could have easily snatched them up before the event. Now the dynamics are completely off and Johnny still has his porn mustache for no reason. Everyone hates the FF and everyone has simply forgotten about the kids because they all want lunch. It's just bad in my opinion and I'm officially dropping the books, so this will be my last review of the FF for a while.
I!m so disappointed in the meaningless mess of a run! I miss the FF!
