  As for whether or not this is actually "canon," I'm not entirely sure. The FF's uniforms match Hitch's current design, and Valeria appears to be the same age as she is on Earth 616, which leads me to believe that it probably is canon. At the same time, this entire mini will probably be overlooked due to its slight absurdness which is shame, because after only one issue in I'm already thoroughly enjoying it. If you like the Fantastic Four and want to see them traveling through famous pieces of fiction, or if you're a fan of Paul Cornell's writing (you know, just one of the writers of Doctor Who and the guy who brought you the already critically acclaimed Captain Britain and the MI:13), you know where to turn.

  It's a little left of center, sure, but there are things to like about FF: True Story. If I'm being honest, it hasn't really given a solid reason for its existence, but its unique brand of charm and Cornell's sense of humor will surely entice some readers. Read Full Review

  Overall, the book is okay, but there are just too many stumbles for me to recommend picking it up before the trade paperback comes out for this one. Read Full Review
