Without Galactus, there's only one way the Fantastic Four can hope to stall the threat of Antithesis - by absorbing the Power Cosmic to multiply their abilities a thousandfold!
Rated T
Adams is really swinging for the wall here (inked by the always excellent Mark Farmer with color art by Laura Martin and Andrew Crossley), loading in his usual amazing amount of detail and characterization, and Waid gives him lots of big concepts to depict and a chance to do some redesigning on the classic team.

Well, this whole Antithesis thing just goes to show that you shouldnt believe all of Marvels hype. They used the art of Neal Adams as a big draw for a story that doesnt really take us anywhere we havent previously been and doesnt really show us anything we havent already seen, and the precedents for the whole thing are really a lot more entertaining. The only thing really new here is that Neal Adams is drawing a full-length Fantastic Four story for the first time, and the novelty doesnt quite cover the price of admission. Read Full Review
The Waid + Adams combo here makes it look like this book was ripped straight out of the Silver Age of comics, tone and all. While nostalgia can carry you pretty far, this story still isn't hitting the right notes. Read Full Review
This was an enjoyable read from Classic Waid. Neal Adams is great too!
I really enjoyed this and I know my friends won't.
Can't say I've seen Reed turn into Galactus before...
What’s with sue’s cosmic costume having bug antenna lol
The team gets a Power Cosmic boost and some fancy new uniforms. They go suck up Galactus's stolen energy and Reed SCIENCES it into a win over Antithesis. Oh, but we've got an issue left; cue the twist. I'm cautiously optimistic about the twist, but I think the desperate way the story NEEDS it just demonstrates how weak the original "we have to fight Super-Galactus" premise was.
I didn’t really like how this was presented. It’s possibly just that I have grown too disconnected from the story but...
