A Galactic Empire is born as the war of Four Cities comes to a close. What does it mean for Marvel's First Family?
The series is highly recommended, especially to those who've been around long enough to know the characters involved. They're in very good hands here. Read Full Review
Hickman does tell layered stories and he does plant plot points early on, which a lot of people often complain about. But for those that have stuck with it, Hickman offers a great payoff. What is even better about his storytelling is how he builds to climaxes, yet that is never the end of the story. The war of four cities seemed like an incredible crescendo for the series, but it ended in Hickman's own unique way and the fallout of that crisis has led to something completely different, but with even higher stakes. He is steering this story with masterful precision and it is an issue like this that makes fans feel glad to be along for the ride. Read Full Review
What will come of the FF series? What are all the kids going to do in the midst of this epic battle? Will their parent's survive? I am expecting all this and more from the next issue! And hey, if the series is orphaned, it surely will have a home with all the other kids in the Future Foundation. ;) Read Full Review
"FF" #11 is a strange but not bad comic. It's hard to tell, save for the text piece at the back of the comic, that this is supposed to lead into "Fantastic Four" #600. There are some great moments here, but there are even more sections that fall into the sluggish category. Like most of Hickman's comics, this will definitely read better in a collected edition. As an individual comic, though, it's just all right. Read Full Review
I've been enjoying this book, the writing is top notch, and the art is just as good, but as someone who hasn't been following this epic story since the beginning, having jumped on with FF, I just can't get up to speed with everything that's going on. I've been trying to figure it out through the individual FF issues, but short of reading through all of the issues of Fantastic Four that Hickman did, it's not going to happen. I imagine that if you've been there all along, this is treating you well, but for anyone who's in the same boat as myself, while I admire your tenacity for sticking around so long, I think it's time to leave.

Jeez. What a story Hickman has crafted. I'm gonna be so sad when this is all over.
