NEXT OF KIN CONTINUES!
A new life in a new town on a strange world. Everything has changed for the broken people once known as BEN GRIMM and JOHNNY STORM. But can they repair things before one of their oldest villains puts the nail in the coffin of THE FANTASTIC FOUR?
Rated T+
Where did they find artist Ramon Perez, how long can they keep him on this book, and is there any possibility that they can get him on the actual Fantastic Four book? His work looked promising last issue and it's looking better this issue. I'm almost beginning to think this is an artist we should be keeping our eyes on. Read Full Review
The writing is wonderfully immersive and the big plot point is just as emotional as it should have been. Sure could use a different artist, though. Read Full Review
Marvel Two-in-One #8 packs an emotional punch, and I found myself as engaged in this issue as any of the recent high sci-fi installments of the series. It reminded me why I care about these characters. The art isnt great, but it isnt awful either. It doesnt sink the comic, and I can still recommend this one with confidence. Check it out.

Marvel Two-In-One got its epic AU world-building out of the way in its first arc and its Annual. Ben and Johnny are still stuck in a different reality, but for this issue, it's merely the backdrop for a knockout character drama. A weighty script is undercut by rushed art that detracts from the climax rather than enhancing it, and this comic lands short of its full potential. Read Full Review
This one reminds me of some type of filler in my opinion. It did get interesting toward the end of the issue so there is that but it was hard getting through this one and to that point. If you've been with the series thus far you may even like this one and that's fine. I'm just not huge into this specific issue here. Hopefully next issue will bring the older style back with some hard hitting plot twists. Read Full Review
This is just so disappointing for a book that has been so amazing in the past. Read Full Review
It's a good intermission to provide more struggle to the story, and show not everything is solved magically in an issue. It isn't action-packed or as exciting as the previous 7 issues. Read Full Review
The heart of the story is still evident, but it's buried beneath too much muddy and repetitive storytelling in this issue to make the effort of caring worthwhile. Read Full Review
This is a great comic and I love it.
The art was poor and the story is starting to get a little old, but it was still an enjoyable issue. I look forward to finally seeing the Fantastic Four back.
It's still a very interesting story and i like the continued spotlight on the fantastic 2 as they hit a very rough patch. But the art by Perez was very rushed/bad and just took me out of the story in many panels....ahh Jim Cheung and Valerio Shiti...I miss you!!! :(
This was quite a depressing read, though the artwork did not really suit the mood. Still, the book is as good as ever. With the FF coming back very soon, I am sure we will have a lot of emotional moments.
The art was pretty rough in this, but I appreciated a respite from all the action by providing us a look at how bleak things can look when people hit rock bottom.
Johnny and Ben have suffered through de-powered life for two months, and now Ben's masquerade breaks down. Johnny confronts the fact that their family is dead. Powerful character work and excellent dialogue pull this up out of the ordinary, but the rough visuals rob the script of its full potential. The art feels like a watching a pair of random Steinbeckian "ordinary joe" characters reciting lines; there are very few points where I actually believed these joes were Johnny and Ben. The words coming out of these strangers are awfully powerful, though.
