The kids take their second Field Trip -- To Africa! Meet the Science Club of Wakanda. And the Future Foundation gets a brand new member.
As with the rest of this series to date, "FF" #19 brings some eye-opening moments, entertaining dialogue, fabulous, natural character development and more than a little bit of world-building. When Hickman departs the Fantastic Four family of titles, his run is going to be remembered fondly, and this issue is a prime example of why. Read Full Review
Even though the Hyena clan was going up against a bunch of kids, there was no point where I didn't feel they were non-threatening. Hickman introduces them as adversaries that are powerful, intelligent and conniving -- so even though the kids managed to successfully outsmart them, they don't come across as weak. I loved this book. I loved the art, the pacing of the story, the dialogue, the emotion of these characters -- I thought it was all really great fun. I recommend this issue to anyone wanting to get into FF or FANTASTIC FOUR; it's a great place to start. Read Full Review
Gabriel Hernandez Walta's artwork showcases the beautiful landscape of Wakanda. Lush jungles, native wildlife, and a cascading waterfall so gorgeous you'll want to jump right in. All of Hickman's jokes would fail to land if it wasn't for Walta's excellent execution. I have always liked Dragon Man, but Walta takes it to a new level by showing him holding a Zebra in his massive hands as if it were a toy. It's an endearing moment from Hickman, who continues to be one of Marvel's most consistently entertaining writers. Read Full Review
Gabriel Hernandez Walta is one of my favourite artists. Script is a little light on substance, but the art makes up for it.
