Rated T+
Like Giant-Size Spider-Man #1, this comic also contains a bonus tale a reprint of Fantastic Four #33 from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. It's fitting for two reasons: one, the story revolves around Namor. Two, Lee and Kirby built Fantastic Four as the bedrock of the Marvel Universe it's from there that Spider-Man, the Avengers, Daredevil and the X-Men sprung into being. Even a one-off tale like this is reminiscent of the pure creative power that gave birth to an entire universe.Giant-Size Fantastic Four #1 introduces a new foe in a classic Fantastic Four story. For longtime fans of the Four or those wanting to see what makes the Four stand out before their big movie reboot next year, this is worth checking out. At the very least it should get fans invested in North and Coello's run (which is sorely underrated.) Read Full Review
If you're seeking a worthwhile standalone volume surrounding Marvel's First Family, you might be better off looking elsewhere. Read Full Review
I like it but I don't recommend spending an extra 3 dollars just for an additional reprint of a Lee/Kirby issue.
Rating for the Nicieza front story.
