Our heroes were betrayed and left for dead, but now that the FANTASTIC FOUR are back, where's RACHNA KOUL? The HUMAN TORCH and INVISIBLE WOMAN will soon find out, provided they can get past THE MOLE MAN!

I am sad to see Marvel 2-in-One go as it was a consistently great and engaging take on a classic Marvel title, but I am happy to see it ended in such a sweeping and fun way thanks to Chip Zdarsky and Ramon K. Perez and their clear love of the Fantastic Four. Read Full Review
Theres not much more to say about Marvel 2-in-One. Writer Chip Zdarsky is to be commended for his understanding of the Fantastic Four and the way its characters work. Of the artists who have worked with him on these twelves issues, Jim Cheung did the most stellar job and its regrettable that we didnt get to see more of it. Last year at this time, this book held out the tantalizing promise of the return of the Fantastic Four, and its gratifying to see that Marvel has delivered on that promise. Read Full Review
The Fantastic 4 will always stand out to me. They have always been special because they were always much more than a group they were a family and always embodied what that stood for. They've had a number of great adventures over the years and this is no different. Too see the family back together and operating as one again is a feeling I can't accurately describe.

Marvel Two-in-One comes to a satisfying conclusion, wrapping up all loose ends before bowing out so that the relaunched Fantastic Four comic can pick up the torch. Read Full Review
This was really cute and nice and good character stuff without being all blatant about it.
The Mole Man provides a little monster-based antagonism to draw Rachna Koul back into the orbit of the reunited FF. A focus on Johnny Storm works nicely with the end of her story, building parallel themes about how far is too far to go to protect your loved ones. It's got excellent plot and theme work. This ends good, but it could/should have been great.
Just like the last issue, this one wraps up all the loose ends while also delivering some emotional moments between the characters. It's been a great series, with its first arc being some of the best Marvel stories in recent years.
Fair wrap up to the story. Obviously it's rushed and we did have all the elements there. But man the art just makes it harder to enjoy. Perez needs to work on his art and faces or maybe it's just rushed. Too bad because this book would be recommended by me as mandatory FF reading for any fan. Zdarsky is worthy of doing FF one of these days and please get Cheung or Schitti or both rotating on art.
This issue wraps up the loose ends and it's perfectly satisfactory. I feel like last issue would've been a better finale and that these two final issues should've been switched. But then it would've spoiled FF #4 and it would've been weird that the more immediate issues were wrapped up last. It's just that Johnny getting his apologies isn't as compelling to me as Reed explaining his actions to Ben. But you know, these loose ends had to be tied up one way or the other. I'd prefer a less dramatically climatic ending to none at all. It doesn't change the fact that Marvel Two-In-One is a must read for fans of the Fantastic Four. Even now that the FF are back. Zdarsky proves he can do more than funny for like the third time this year. Maybe peopmore
Fair wrap up of the series and with Koul. Believable apologies to Johnny. FF teens are a pain but then teens are. Best compliment would be that this should have been published as FF#5.
Not as good as most of this series has been, but I know they had to wrap it up.
Characterization and dialogue was off. Felt like Sue was a version from 1972.
