Good premise and a promising start but Ryan North keeps using scientific ideas to jump start his stories but anybody doing the math can say that flaming on all that rusted steel would be a negative thing because it will consume far more oxygen than it would produce but comics are just that comics and if you bring scientific logic to them it falls apart quickly.

A NEW ERA FOR MARVEL'S FIRST FAMILY! The FANTASTIC FOUR return with a new issue #1, kicking off a whole new volume of their adventures through time, space, science and the human condition!

One World Under Doom #9
FINALE! Doom has confronted all of Earth's heroes in battle - and he's won. What's more, he's used the magical power of Sorcerer Supreme to ensure that this victory has become a fixed moment in time: a thing that will stand forever, impervious to magic or time travel alike. But unbeknownst to Doom, in that climatic moment that can now never be chan...

One World Under Doom #8
Doom battles the combined might of an entire world to maintain his control: But can even he stand against the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four...and every other hero on Earth? It seems like all hope is lost: until a desperate gambit gives the heroes exactly what they need to win! But Doom has a desperate gambit of his own: one that, though i...

One World Under Doom #7
Fallout continues from what was revealed last month, and Doom finds his grip on power loosening. But he's not going to give it up without a fight - on several fronts. Doom once sought glory, but that glory is now dead. All that is left is power and control as rebellions in several countries are quickly - and brutally - put down. As Doom prepares to...

One World Under Doom #6
Doom's reign has been a success for months - with even some of the heroes questioning if they're on the right side. A final desperate gamble is conceived, and Reed reveals a terrible secret he's acquired about Doom's global domination - but will it be enough? And what has Doom been hiding under that Latverian Dome? All is revealed - at terrible cos...

One World Under Doom #5
Dormammu has come for Doom - and Doom has SURVIVED.
Broken, depleted, but having bought the time he needed, Doom ensured that all Earth's heroes would survive. These heroes now face a choice: They can allow Earth to fall to Dormammu - or they can align with Doom and fight for Earth beside him. Doom is at his highest - with Earth's heroes ...
Doom doing Doom things. RB Silva is great as always!

One World Under Doom #4
Sensing vulnerability, Dormammu has attacked Earth - and only Doom stands in his way! Dormammu has banished all other heroes to a pocket dimension, leaving Doom to stand alone against the Dark Lord of Chaos.
But on the other hand...Doom has never needed allies in order to ensure that his will is done.
It's the ultimate showdown between...
It's a good premise with many MacGuffins disguised as scientific information infused into the story to make it sound cool and it works but don't overthink any of it or it'll all come apart quickly. Just focus on HERBIE and ignore the flawed science.

Fantastic Four #33
FANTASTIC ZERO!
It all comes down to this! Thirty-three issues of fantastic adventure culminate in a final stirring adventure, back to the beginning...of EVERYTHING. When the solution to what Doom did to Ben can only be found in the past, the Fantastic Four must voyage back four hundred and thirty-six quadrillion seconds into the Big Bang...
Cool story as a side quest but overall I'm slowly losing interest in the direction we're going.

Fantastic Four #32
LAST ONE STANDING!
"If you found yourself stranded somewhere in the universe with no knowledge of where you were, how quickly could you determine an answer to that question?" It's a thought experiment Mr. Fantastic had often challenged his children with - but now it's happening for real - to Valeria Richards!
Valeria finds herself lost ...

Fantastic Four #31
FANTASTIC TWO!
As Ben recovers from what Doom has done to him, the Fantastic Four learn they're losing their powers at the one time they need them the most desperately!
If they can't reverse the effect, they may be lost forever - and Doom will be unstoppable.
But the family has an idea of how to get them back - and to do it s...
It is very hard to root for the heroes here and North forces this plot point to make them look desperate but it just doesn't work. Still I'm following here for Doom is his own worst enemy and I'm waiting for the FF to really show up and Valeria especially. Let's see.

One World Under Doom #3
The Avengers have faced Doom...and they LOST. But Earth still needs avenging - and it's not just the heroes who dislike having Doom in charge.
And so heroes and villains unite against Doom, intent on taking him down once and for all!
But that's not all: A simultaneous magic attack reveals the shocking truth of HOW Doom took over the wo...
This is a battle the heroes can't win because they underestimated Doom and what he gave then people. Forced at times but still a valid story. RB Silva on art is always a treat!

One World Under Doom #2
Doctor Doom has taken over the world, and Earth's mightiest heroes have failed twice: first to stop him, and now to overthrow him. But the Fantastic Four know Doom better than anyone, which makes them ideally suited to take on Earth's new Emperor...except for the fact that he knows THEM just as well. As Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Sue and Johnny ...

Fantastic Four #30
FANTASTIC THREE!
After Ben Grimm has suffered a terrible (and very public) defeat at the hands of Doom, he's left lost, adrift - and more vulnerable than he has been in years. And when a trip to New York goes wrong and his fate suddenly turns from bad to worse, Ben has never been more vulnerable - and soon takes a shocking shortcut he won't b...
The concept here is promising but the delivery misses. How do people react when the enemy takes over your world and gives the people what they want and need? How do the heroes fight that? The execution is missing a fighting side along with the life goes on as we meet for coffee and hash it out side. Both should happen here. You can try to help your previous enemy's victims that were bitten during more

Fantastic Four #29
The impossible has happened! DOCTOR DOOM has taken over the world! And the Fantastic Four are NOT going to let that stand. As Reed locks himself in his lab, trying to solve the Problem of Doom, Ben treats Sue to a trip to NYC with their mutual friend, JEN "SHE-HULK" WALTERS, to help get her mind off of things. But tensions after vampires overran th...
What would you do if Doom takes over and runs your country better than ever except you have to pledge full allegiance to a an evil dictator? Good concept to start. Doom always ends up being his own worst enemy but he is doing a great job making the heroes look like the bad ones here.

ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!
Six months ago, Doctor Victor Von Doom became Sorcerer Supreme - then disappeared behind Latveria's closed borders. For most, there's enough going on in the world that Doom's absence is not a priority, and some time without him feels like a blessing. Only a few recognize it for what it truly was...the calm before the...
Great read using good ol' classic turns and twists but enjoyable nonetheless. Gary Frank makes it all look absolutely fantastic like you are living in that world. Layered with perfect coloring from Brad Anderson. I still feel like this series can get to the next level but I know deep down Geoff Jones will not stray there. Let's hope Junkyard Joe will have a better arc next time around.

Nice summation and great speech from the Lad. Frigeri makes it all look wonderful.

I think this is the best series coming out of the current Ultimate Marvel books

Ultimates #17
THE ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR? Now that the Ultimates are using the Immortus Engine to its full capacity, Doom's dream of the Ultimate Fantastic Four may finally be realized...
Well executed story. Flows well and gets you in the society's view point of what the Maker has imposed on them and all structures running their lives through the corrupt leadership. The line between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a fine line. This is not a fight to be won in the voting booth but careful of allowing the anarchist side to take over because it will consume everything in its way more

FROM THE SKIES TO THE STREETS - THE NEW ULTIMATES! The Maker is only three months away and time is running out. But the Ultimates network is bigger than ever now that they're inspiring more and more people to join their cause! A can't-miss street-level adventure from the Ultimates' new recruits!
