And the art remains as gorgeous and vibrant as ever. Once again, there's a sense that Mike Allred is cutting loose even more than usual and letting the art dictate the flow of the story. This issue has visual cutaways and dimension-hopping galore. Allred's standout pages involve his rendering of Red Ghost's mind-bending time-journey. We wind up with four distinct versions of the character entering and exiting the stage. It's the sort of bizarre sequence that might have been too confusing if not for the clear, engaging way it's rendered. Read Full Review

The colorization by Laura Allred follow suits as well, with the focalization on cold and almost lifeless colors in the background, like grey, dark and a very light tone of blue to put the emphasis on the characters and their actions. There are many contrasts such as the one using the backgrounds, like how the white uniforms of the students makes their discerning traits all the more visible, or how the Red Ghosts seems to differentiate in term of details when put in comparison to some of the elements in the panels focusing on them. It's almost minimalistic at times, yet Laura Allred does a good job here. The mix between pure entertainment and plot progression, along with the characters full of life makes this issue a joy to read. Those looking for more meat may be a bit disappointed, yet the fun along with the delightful art from the Allreds make this issue works nonetheless. Read Full Review

Man, its going to be painful to watch FF go. Its still one of the top three Marvel titles being published and is one of my personal favorites. With only 3 issues left in this current run, this is a series you will not want to miss the end of. Read Full Review

While it would be a little disingenuous to say that this book hasn't slipped at all since Matt Fraction stopped scripting, the difference has been far less than many worried it would be. The Allred brothers have this locked down, though, and the book is still one of the most fun being published. Read Full Review

So Matt Fraction is off FF, providing only general plot guidelines while Lee Allred handles the actual dialogue. The change isn't very noticeable, though maybe it is a little. It's hard to tell. The book remains as madcap and adorable as ever in issue #13, so who's complaining? Though I'll be sad when this series is cancelled for good. Read Full Review

This isn't a bad issue of FF, but it feels somewhat lacking. Considering the big character developments for both Alex Power and Ant-Man, you really would expect more from this issue than a few pages addressing their predicaments. Saying that however, the rest of this comic still is fun to read, if somewhat irrelevant to the overall picture which both this title and Fantastic Four are edging ever nearer too" Read Full Review

"FF" #13 is helping the comic prepare for its wrap-up, and even more than "Fantastic Four," it's a shame that Fraction wasn't available to be hands on for these last few chapters. With time Lee Allred's scripts may very well get a bit smoother, but for now the sudden creative shift has slightly disrupted a normally far more entertaining comic. Read Full Review
