Throughout the issue, the artwork is great. This is unsurprising, as the Dodsons are usually great. There is a bit of a blip towards the end as Ranson Getty inks a couple pages in place of Rachel Dodson. The work isn't bad, it's just noticeably different as Getty's inks using thinner lines that Rachel's thick, defining lines. On the plus side, Laura Martin colors from start to finish, giving the whole issue a generally united appearance. X-Men/Fantastic Four #4is a great, thought-provoking conclusion to a great, though-provoking miniseries. The writing and artwork are top-notch as this fun little side-story to both the X-Men and Fantastic Four looks to have greater long-term implications for both teams. Read Full Review

The X-Men have remained so righteous and steadfast in their conviction over the decades that you cant help but tip your hat to their commitment to provide mutants with the ideal of safety, kinship and home. The Fantastic Four are always pushing the limits of what is capable while staying grounded in family and friendship. The explorer in you wants to devour more of their adventures and your heart melts when a good writer nails their heartwarming side. X-Men/Fantastic Four #4 delivers another great issue.

This book is a fun romp,painted in dayglow, with some unexpected answers buried in the seams. Read Full Review

X-Men/Fantastic Four #4 concluded this crossover event in a satisfying way. Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson were able to complete Franklin Richard's character arc and where Doctor Doom is positioned in the current state of the world in a way that creates a lot of potential for the X-Men and Fantastic Four's respective futures. If you are currently reading any of the X-Men or Fantastic Four comic books than I highly recommend checking out X-Men/Fantastic Four when the trade is released. Read Full Review

X-Men/Fantastic Four #4 brings the mini-series to a close, resolving Franklin Richards' status as a Krakoan citizen (for now), but not without establishing an underlying sense of menace. Read Full Review

While the form of the superhero team-up remains largely unchanged, this miniseries makes clear at its end that familiarity does not preclude artists from exploring fascinating topics. Read Full Review

"X-Men/Fantastic Four" #4 provides a strong ending to good crossover, adding a nice subversion to the traditional ending of putting aside differences for the greater good. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four vs X-Men #4 is a solid finale to a series I mostly really enjoy. It's my least favorite issue, but in the end, I don't regret reading it. If you are thrilled by the X-Men's new status quo, you'll likely find much more to chew on than I did. If you aren't, however, there is still enough here that's worth your time. Read Full Review

Readers, zero happens that you didn't expect to transpire. There really is no twist or curtain reveal. And as far a feuds go that encompass forcibly taking your son away, it ends rather quietly and easily. The series just" was there. Was this solely a series involving two flashy names to draw in fans? It seems that way. Read Full Review

Prelude:
I've been loving X-Men/Fantastic Four and now that the trade is out, I'm finally getting around to reading the final issue. Let's see how this finishes.

The Good:
I love the infographics provided by Reed.

Dodson art is great as always.

Love the developments in this issue.

Fun family moments throughout too as well as character moments.

The Bad:
Charles and Eric are a bit too antagonistic for my liking even with their current selves.

Conclusion:
It's a fun romp between the Fantastic Four and X-Men that finishes in a satisfying and enjoyable way. However, I do feel that the ending with Reed is a bit too depressing as a finish point but I am interested to see if it has any lasting ramifications. more

Once again Zdarsky’s rendition of Dr Doom steals the show. He explained mutants and his idea of evolution in a way no character ever has since the Namor was first created as the first mutant in the 1940s: he doesn’t believe that the next step in human evolution is physical and he doesn’t believe the mutants are the next step in human evolution. Doom believes that the next step in evolution will be of the intellect, and that mutants were created to force humans to get smarter. I could read Doom, Reed, Xavier, and Magneto interact for hours on end

The Dodsons' art was uncharacteristically choppy here, but Zdarsky was on top form, something I haven't felt about every issue of this mini. The bit where Mr. Fantastic hugs Franklin made me tear up, and the ending was a top-notch addition to the discomforting and even sinister undercurrent that's run through Hickman's X-Men. All in all, a solid ending to an uneven miniseries.

I loved how that came to a close however clearly there is more to come

Even though some major plot threads end with a whimper (Doom's war on Krakoa, Franklin's cure), this finale still has considerable charm and storytelling talent.

I liked this, though there was something a little off about the pace maybe? I don’t know. Charles Xavier is a jerk though.

I liked the ending. The erasure of Reed's log was particularly effective. The thing that holds this issue back a bit is the art. I don't understand what happened, but the Dodsons didn't work so well here. That's a shame, though, because this was a really fun mini with some great implications for the future.

an ending all tied up with a classic deus ex machina bow. It was surprising to see Franklin accept both the X-Men and F4 considering I thought he would just stay with the Fantastic Four as he is in Empyre. It's a fine ending, the real ending is the threat to Reed from Professor X and Magneto. This isn't over yet

-Full, two-page spread of the battle is beautiful
-Makes sense Franklin is the savior
-Charles punishing richards is understandable; this is not the same xavier and hes on par with his actions in HoxPox/x-men
-Art overall this serious was alright, battle scenes is where Dodson shines

Yeah, this is good. Not much else to add.

It was well written and the art looked great. Thats why im giving it a little higher score than I should but in terms of substance, it was lacking in certain areas. I enjoyed it but it really isnt needed.

*** Reviews the entire series ***

Ehhhh. Chip Zdarsky is one of my favorite writers at Marvel, and still is. And this series was actually really good for the first three issues, but the fourth one? Idk, maybe it was that 4 month gap due to Covid-19, or the fact that this series might needed an extra 1-2 issues, but the the final confrontation with Doom just feels rushed and anti-climatic. I don't know if thats just me, but it was a weak wrap up to a overall thought-provoking story.

It basically revolves around Franklin Richard losing his powers, and Krakoa " offering " him a place to learn about his mutant heritage and his problems and how to resolve them, much to the dismay of the FF. Simple enough, but Zdarsky manages to make it a complex and multi-layered analysis not just on the the FF, but also on the X-men and their boundaries. The series overall was still very good, I love ideas, I love how Zdarsky handles characters, I loved how he handled the story for the most part.

But the final issue that concluded the Doom sequence, while it tied everything up, did not make the whole series satisfying. The art by the Dodsons and colors by Martin were overall cool, especially with the action scenes, but they definitely need to work on pencil work dealing with facial expressions especially in the last issue. I heard Dodsons are revered artists, so it kind of sucks that their pencil work was inconsistent or maybe there was something wrong with the inking. However, the latter half of issue 4 was pretty interesting and leaves us off with potentially some future stories. If Zdarsky wrapped up the Doom conflict with cleaner execution and better handle how the situation was resolved, on top of more refined pencils/inking from the Dodsons and company, this book would rank much higher. Overall, a good book.

7.5/10 more

A decent ending, with some real consequences for the FF/X-Men relationship. The art tho...this was the worst I've seen from the Dodsons ever. Storytelling was kinda all over the place in the action sequences, and inconsistent at best...

mostly 4 issues of nothing. A fair talk could had solved this;

I doubt FF books will acknowledge anything from this
