With terrific art and solid writing, this series definitely "feels" like a Fantastic Four story - and we're long overdue for more of those. Read Full Review
Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti create an engaging issue with MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #3. I highly recommend it for Fantastic Four fans, since Zdarsky does an exemplary job writing Ben and Johnny. Read Full Review
All things considered, Marvel 2-in-One is a book to be recommended, especially if you loved The Fantastic Four. Read Full Review
Even as enjoyable as the Jason Aaron/Chris Bachalo run was, I'm not sure I expected Doctor Strange to emerge as one of the biggest success stories of Marvel Legacy. Yet here we are, with issue #385 providing a satisfying cap to a thoroughly enjoyable debut for the new team. Read Full Review
Marvel Two-in-One is a superb comic book series. It has action, drama, and an intriguing storyline that will keep the reader wishing for more. Johnny Storm finds out why his powers are on the frits, and it might not be the answer he is looking for. The Thing continues to struggle with the lies he has told. Could Reed, Sue and the kids really be alive and well? There is only one way to find out: to explore the Multi-verse, and it starts in Marvel Two-in-One #3. Read Full Review
The first lull of the series to me but still solid in its own right. Some great moments of humor especially early in with Hercules and Doom but otherwise this one didn't get me as hype as the rest. As mentioned above I'm expecting it to bounce back in short order. Read Full Review
Though I would have loved a bit more time with the returning Mad Thinker, Marvel 2-In-One #3 continues to keep the Fantastic Four's brand and tone alive with humor and a sunny disposition. Read Full Review
Chip Zdarsky is revealing himself to be a savant at juggling plots in the classic Marvel style of superhero comics. Read Full Review
The quality of the visuals undermines a generally fun story. The villain is good, as is the extra hero involved in this tale. Sadly, distant characters are suggestions of individuals, and they appear so often. A decent comic team up, but if it continues to look like this, this series won't last long. Read Full Review
Marvel Two-in-One hasn’t blown me out of the water like Hickman’s Fantastic Four did, but baby steps are important, and all the pieces are in place. Each issue has had all the qualities of a great Fantastic Four story while remaining new and original. Zdarsky is clearly a fan who understands these characters well and is excited to be behind the wheel. Frankly, I’m excited about it, too. The first family is almost back, and I can’t wait to see how it goes down. If you’ve been missing your FF…then you’ve undoubtedly already been reading this. Keep it up. It’s worth it.

There really is no faults to the issue itself, but as a whole it's more running in place to set things up than anything else. Read Full Review
Marvel Two-in-One starts to really lean heavily into general superhero adventure, which is a perfectly fine way to spend our time. Read Full Review
Marvel Two-in-One #3 stalls out the story already, even if it is still a decently fun read. The art is alright, but it has some that don't look particularly good. The slow pacing leaves a comic where very little is accomplished. However, I can still recommend it based on the Thing, the Human Torch, and Hercules's chemistry keeping most of the book entertaining. Feel free to give this one a read. Read Full Review
"Marvel Two In One" first two issues have been a balm for fans claiming for more Fantastic Four. Issue #3 keeps the momentum going, but the shift in art and a more uneven script makes it stumble. Read Full Review
Valerio Schiti steps in as artist and does not miss a beat. It is sad to see JimCheung go, but Schiti is an adequate replacement. They often say the best way to make people want something is to take it away from them. Marvel has had success doing that in the past and they may again with the growing desire of wanting The Fantastic Four to return. This series has basically been an appetizer to a main course that is cooling in the window. At least it has been a good tease and with the reveal in the final issue, it appears events are just about to fully heat up. Read Full Review
Got kinda hyped about this series and it's living up to my expectations (never usually works out) love all the F4 stuff and I'm excited to see where it all ends up. Keep this up!
Really enjoying this series at pretty much every turn. I usually have mixed feeling on Zdarksy's work depending on what book it is. That said, i was definitely speculative of this one but so far he has done the characters justice and made for a really fun book that i cant wait to read every month. Given the title and the situation that the First Family where put in since Secret Wars, they cant do much better than this.
A really great issue, both in terms of writing and artwork. I was disappointed Jim Chung didn't draw this issue, but the art is still really good. I really liked Hercules in this story, and I loved the way the post-credit Wolverine scene tied in with the rest of the story.
Nice. This series is very refreshing. Zdarsky is the perfect guy to write the Fantastic 2. Had my doubts about Schiti but he did a great job and also it helped that Martin stayed as coloring artist. Go get'em!!!
Awesome, fun issue as Johnny and Ben continue to look into the source of their depleting powers, and, maybe, just maybe, a hint of what happened to Reed, Sue, and the kids? The art switches from Jim Cheung to Valerio Schiti in this issue, and, I'm sorry Valerio, it's not your fault, but damn, Cheung's pencils were incredible. Still a super fun issue, and I'm going to read the next one right now!
the book was good. for sure. it is making me think that Chip "wannabe comedian" can actually write when he lays off the humor a bit. but none of that matters. what matters is at the start we see the Mad Thinker looking at his "Where is Reed Richards" board, and... there is a note that says 6/6 ... and 6/6 this year is going to be on a Wednesday. that's enough for me!
Again, Zdarsky continues to write an excellent story. Though the change in art was noticeable, it wasn't any bad. With the last page reveal and finally going to the multiverse, the next issue cannot come any sooner.
Ben tries to solve Johnny's power seep before they go gallivanting into the multiverse; this leads them to supporting character Rachna Koul and some nice upping of the ante. There's also a Hydro-Man fight thrown in there. The pace is excellent and the humor is fun, but this script is a delicate structure that cannot hold up to much examination. Large pockets of stupid lurk just under the surface. I also find Rachna deceptively shallow. Her "superpower maintenance gig" is pretty novel, but her character - snarky, spiky, overconfident genius lady - is very Central Casting so far.
A dialogue heavy book or maybe its just the rough day that i am having which made this book quite draggy. But still manages to deliver some goods. A great reveal of why Johnny Storm is loosing his powers. There is also some evil scheme going on at the background. Which is intimidating enough.
There is a change in artist, but still manages to be good. I hardly can tell the difference. But in someway i feel like the art wasnt as good as the previous ones, done by Jim Cheung.
And there is a page on Wolverine at the end which was kinda worthless.
It wasnt as powerful and good as the previous issues but as always a solid read.
A step back from the Kirby/Lee fun of the last issue, which was truly a fantastic issue.
Is there to late for Zfarsky to turn the table ? I have to tell that a lot of this issue was better than the two previous one.
I even asking myself if the "Terrific" joke was a blink to the Distinguish Competition title ^^
I like hercule a lot and didn't know he lost his power for a time. I even find the fact that without read Johnny & Ben power deplete.
But and this is a huge one. I didn't like the thinker part (Playing Rip Hunter with his board), or the fact the woman doctor have some power close to reed. Or that Doom is so dumb.
There is also the problem to have schiti taking Chung place. And that is a huge place to fill. Chiti isn't bad, but that's not chung.
