Fantastic Four Fanfare #2 wasnot nearly as fun as the first issue, this collection of stories was still enjoyable. The weakest was the first story - Hickman’s FF run was a confusing mess and his interpretations of the characters were a little “off” to say the least. This short tale is on par … the silly “twist ending” left me cold.
The second story was sort of take it or leave it, nothing earth shattering or groundbreaking, but enjoyable none the less. The art was clean and cool, I wouldn’t mind seeing more FF one in this style.
The third entry by Mark Buckingham was probably my favorite with its classic Fantastic Four style. It was more a tale of two of Doctor Doom’s henchman trying to win the good gra more
Story one: Movie Night - Never been a Hickman fan, this story didn't change anything. Using Psycho Man's device to enter other worlds that are just films being watched by FF zombies - it's just a confusing mess. I rate it a 2.
Story two: Reed's Week - What starts out as an interesting plot, devolves into a tale that could have been told with a lot less than the 10 pages it takes. And I will forever roll my eyes at anyone allowing Doc Doom into the FF's home. I rate it a 2.
Story three: The Seeker - Whoa nelly! They saved the best for last! A great tale os something that happened between the panels fom the mid 1970's. The writing and art captures that old time feeling very well. I rate it an 8.
