Johnny Storm has had some incredibly bad ideas in his time, but every once in a while he also has an incredibly good idea too. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell which is which until you're neck-deep in their consequences, and by then it's usually too late. We mention this only because in this issue, Johnny convinces his sister Sue to go along with a scheme to use her powers to turn the flesh of his skull invisible, so that when he flames on he can pass himself off as the Ghost Rider and settle some old scores. What could possibly go wrong? It's a Johnny-and-Sue adventure you won't soon forget!

Jul 01, 2026I wasn’t sure how these self-contained issues would work in a world where we’ve gotten used to 3-5 issue arcs, but man, have they been fun. Last issue, it was Reed and Johnny sent back to Rome, now we’ve got sibling hijinks. This issue was fun, entertaining, and just an all around great Fantastic Four story. Read Full Review

Jul 01, 2026Fantastic Four #13 is another reminder that Ryan North understands exactly what makes Marvel's First Family so compelling: their powers are tools for creativity as much as they are instruments of heroism. Anchored by a wonderfully absurd premise, the issue balances humor, tension, and character dynamics with remarkable ease. Andrea Sorrentino and Edgar Delgado elevate the material with visuals that lean into horror without sacrificing the fun at the story's core. The result is a memorable one-shot that showcases both the elasticity of the Fantastic Four concept and the joy of watching creators push familiar characters into unexpected territory.

Jul 01, 2026Johnny Storm’s latest brainstorm goes up in smoke as the reality of his plans backfire in a fun adventure. North pushes some creative lanes while the art compliments the set-up. It’s definitely a Fantastic Four tale by structure and performance. Read Full Review

Jul 01, 2026Of course, it’s also impossible to talk about Sorrentino’s art without addressing the elephant in the room. Back in 2024, he faced allegations of using AI in his work on Batman (2016). He denied it, but the evidence is pretty darn incriminating. The allegations left a major stain on his legacy, but still, his work here matches his actual style much more closely and is significantly better than the work from those allegations. Overall, I enjoyed his art in this issue, and hope that I can continue to enjoy his real art in the future. There’s a whole lot more good than bad here. It’s hard to make a skull be that expressive, but by God, does that skull drip with personality. Read Full Review

Very good issue which has been the norm for this book. It's disappointing that there's always one Astonishingly Awful DC fanboy troll that makes up negative reviews just to get attention. Sad, so sad.

Odd artist choice for the issue, causing some flaws in execution.
But the idea is fun. -

Stupid story as always, and an art style that aims for realism but actually reminds me of xeroxed photos. Usually I'm thankful for every issue not drawn by Humberto Ramos, but not in this case. This is the opposite of Ramos, but where Ramos is at least "fun", Sorrentino's pages look like all life has been sucked out of them.
