Purple! Green! IMPOSSIBLETOWN!
There's a reason this series is always at the top of my list of favorites month after month. Actually, there's a few of them and they include Matt Fraction, Mike Allred and Laura Allred. From the writing to the art to the wacky characters and situations, you never know what to expect here except for fun times. This book feels like it's allowed to do things that a Marvel Comic shouldn't be able to do. It's full of wit, sarcasm, action and adventure and manages to stand out from the typical comic. It's not just about being funny as there are often heavier aspects sneaking their way throughout the story. FF is a series that delivers. Who would have thought reading comics could be so much fun?

This issue was very exciting and featured some adept humor and ideas from writer Matt Fraction. The art was once again firing on all cylinders featuring some weird, but interesting cityscapes. Marvel fans should be embracing this series for what it offers to the modern franchise and the older continuity. Read Full Review
With a spotlight on the core team in FF #11, Fraction and Allred successfully tackle the feeling of belonging to a family and the FF's connection to New York City. Read Full Review
FF is also one of the coolest looking comics on the stands thanks to Michael and Laura Allred. Half the humor and heart of this comic wouldn't come through is it wasn't for the Allreds. The aforementioned time travel sequence will make you laugh out loud because of the characters' expressions. Then there's the casual appeal of The Impossible Man, who glances at his fingernails while asking the FF to take his son who is just entirely too possible. Yes, this book is beautiful and yes, you should be buying and worshipping it. Read Full Review
Now one of the best things about FF is that it's not dominated by Fraction's writing. It's equal parts writing and art, because the amazing Mike & Laura Allred rocks every single panel, every single issue. Mike's unique character design, expressive faces, and bold line work mesh beautifully with his wife Laura's incredible colors. The signature bright, pop-art inspired Allred art has worked perfectly with these characters and the adventures they've had over the course of these issues, and this one is no exception. The pages with Adolf and Medusa are particularly great. Overall, I'd suggest you all either get not only this issue, but ALL OF THEM. This is one of the best ongoing series currently being published in my opinion. If you can deal with a “slow and steady” pace, I think you'll dig it as much as I do. Read Full Review
With a weird, yet decidedly heartfelt take on its characters, themes and its approach to some real world issues, this issue provide some neat twists on existing characters while providing some excellent art and colorization by the Allreds. A nice issue indeed. Read Full Review
Its going to be very sad to see Fraction leave, but well see his vision play out to its end. The only problem is that he happens to have a very particular wit about him that is very hard to duplicate. Well, having Allred stick around will help. If any artist can save a book from any sort of writing dilemmas, its him. Read Full Review
Full of heart and humor, starting with Fractions strong dialogue to Allreds always fantastic artwork, this issue is another winner. Read Full Review
I am going to miss Matt Fraction on this comic. He is one of my favorite writers these days, and it's a damn shame that he's jumping the Fantastic Four ship to focus on this whole Inhumanity thing that Marvel is pushing for the next year. I'm sure that book will be fine, but I am going to miss him on FF. He's barely gotten started with whatever big ideas he had in mind for the series, especially if this issue is any indication.

Whilst this comic is not full of the fun-filled madness which I anticipated, this still was an enjoyable issue. With the Future Foundation expanding, it looks like the gang have more interesting ventures ahead. However, Julius Caesar and Maximus the Mad hanging around together just seems to spell trouble for some reason" Read Full Review
Fraction and the Allred family do it again with a 10/10 issue as Impossible Man kidnaps Scott, Medusa, Jen, and Darla to try to convince them to let his son Adolf join the Future Foundation. Adolf is reluctant but after a talk with Medusa he agrees to go with the 4. The Medusa/Adolf conversation was one of the most well written moments of this series
