    Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth Aug 13, 2025

    Fantastic Four #2 lures us into a false sense of security before flipping the story on its head and proving that Doom truly is all-powerful. This was never going to be an easy fight nor a fair one, which makes this a must-read. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Aug 13, 2025

    The end of Fantastic Four Issue 2 feels rewarding and satisfying, but it immediately transports the team into a situation where they can't rest on their laurels, maintaining a constant momentum. Read Full Review

    The Comic Book Spot - Greg Thomson Aug 16, 2025

    Fantastic Four #2 is developing really well in this Arc of the new Fantastic Four series and I'm looking forward to see where the creative team take it. In regards to the creative team, I think they've really pulled together and created a wonderful book that works well story wise, complimented beautifully with some incredible pencil work and colour choices from the artists. Please guys, keep up this amazing work! Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Aug 13, 2025

    Fantastic Four #2 is a sharp, inventive chapter that plays to the team's greatest strengthclever, collaborative problem-solvingwhile giving Sue Storm a standout moment as the linchpin of a tense, time-spanning rescue mission. With Ramos and Delgado bringing energy and visual clarity to the twists and settings, it's a rewarding read for fans who like their superheroics smart as well as spectacular. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Aug 13, 2025

    Fantastic Four #2 struggles to find its footing, relying on convenient plot devices rather than genuine character development or intricate problem-solving. While the art remains a strong point, the narrative choices, particularly regarding Reed Richards's competence and the swift resolution of seemingly insurmountable challenges, leave much to be desired. It feels less like a Fantastic Four adventure and more like a series of plot points designed to get the team back together, regardless of logical consistency. Read Full Review

    This was a huge improvement from #1! The art looks good, it's the same style but improved. more precise and good deliberate line work. The colors really pop out and the artist really does the simple cartoon faces perfectly.

    Sue does end up finding her way to the forever stone, Reed stretches himself into the earth and arranged every single diamond into arrows to help her in the future. When Sue gathers the team back they return to the point where they were fighting Doom and like a moron Reed tells Doom how they figured it all out. I knew as I was reading Reed say all of that I was like "No moron shut up! He's just going to do it again with the knowledge of your forever stone!" And what do you know Doom sent them right back but i more

    Plot
    This comic supports the ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM event.

    Separated in different eras, unable to communicate, the Fantastic Four are lost. However, Reed manages to create a time machine and store it in a kind of quantum pocket hidden in the FOREVER STONE, which will then endure through time, and one of them will find it. Sue finds it and activates it, using her powers to modify the bending of light.

    With this machine activated, Sue rescues Reed, Johnny, and Ben in the past, returning just as Doctor Doom sends them to different eras, and the battle begins again.

    Reed explains to Doom how they return, but that information is power for Doctor Doom, and he will send them back in time again with his magic, bu more

    I have been a Fantastic Four fan for as long as I have been reading comic books (and I started at 5 years old) and I can honestly say that I have no idea who this woman in this comic is. Granted I checked out of the FF about 2 relaunches ago and something could have happened to Sue in that time where she suffered some personality swap … but this character resembles Sue Richards in appearance only. Also … why is Reed calling her Sue Storm … are they no longer married?

    Ultimately this comic was an absolute waste of Humberto Ramos’s talent, he is too good for a story this bad. The plot felt pointless and Sue’s narration was way over written. I was going to give this book 4 issues before considering jumping off … but aft more

    The idea to separate the FF in their first new issue wasn't great to begin with. In this second issue we learn that it was not even meant to be a concept for a whole story arc, but just an interlude with no real obstacles at all. In fact, the solution to their dilemma was a complete disappointment - an ex machina idea that North probably thinks was really clever. That, plus lazy artwork by a big name artist who apparently doesn't think he has to work to deliver anymore, makes FF #2 an utter failure.

    This story is basically a stand alone issue for Sue RICHARDS with a bit of Reed spread throughout (I mean that literally as Reed has never looked sillier).

    We're expected to believe that Reed Richards covers the entire planet in arrows made of diamonds, that somehow haven't had a tectonic movement in 8 billion years.

    Sue RICHARDS won't drink the water because she'd... rather die?

    Later, they have Doom on his heels and then the FF just stop thier attack allowing Vic to psuedosciencebabble his way to victory.

    And Doom's new tactic of time manipulation? Stolen straight from Rick & Morty's "The Vat of Acid" episode (which was taken from a Futurama episode).

    These last two issues rely co more
