This issue showcases Slott’s greatest weaknesses as a writer: privileging gimmicky plots and twists over character, as happened in his Spider Man run. So as good as his ideas sometimes are, they get bogged down by a Saturday cartoon quality. And here the story is not even good.
Godlike Franklin Richards is having an identity crisis. This is a guy who has created and destroyed universes. And what do Reed and Sue do? They send him to a community youth center in Yancy Street. Really? This is not only horrible parenting but recklessness and stupidity, when you are talking about a kid who can at least destroy the Earth.
Then another Slott big flaw, cheap sentimentality, with all the Yancy kids stuff. The FF needs a top tier writer to regain their place in the Marvel universe. more

Cullen Bunn’s Asgardians of the Galaxy was one of Marvel’s best books throughout its run. Bunn is a great underrated writer, and anyone who can make Throgf, Skurge and Thunderstrike compelling deserves applause
Unfortunately War of the Realms derailed the book, killed one of its main characters (Valkyrie) and led to a mediocre ending with one of Marvel’s worst characters, Angela. The art is very bad too.
Still, the 10 issue run is totally worth reading.

After an inexplicable mediocre start in his run, Dan Slott gets his act together and delivers a first rate FF story, almost classic, putting at play 2 of the FFs greatest adversaries in a very ingenious story, which showcases every character. The art by Aaron Kuder is great and even teen Franklin and Valeria are not annoying.
Maybe the denouement feels a little too easy, but, knowing Kuder, Galactus and Doom are not finished with each other. This is the book I was expecting to read when Slott was announced on the title. more

Just no way they let KIDS leave to explore the multiverse. I know Dragon Man is there, but give me a break. Then they move to Yancy Street? I may not be on this series long.

An interminably sluggish issue with tepid art and hackneyed character beats.

"The all-new Fantastic Four!"

It's 4 issues in and I'm just mildly excited for this book.
Maybe now, that they're back on Earth things will start looking up. I hope they will.

A mind boggling mediocrity. Readable, but resembles an episode of Scooby Doo. The FF are back in the Marvel Universe and we get the Wrecking Crew and a bunch of D listers called the Fantastix.
One of the biggest problems of the FF before their hiatus was too much Franklin and Valeria, and now Slott has made the horrible mistake of aging them 5 years. So what do we get? Archie?
Superficial characterization and forgettable art add up to a disastrous issue. more

This is not She-Hulk.

The art is nice, but that is its only virtue.

im so over trolls and war of realms

Only a step above that terrible JaneThor issue where she fights Absorbing Man and Titania... by giving old Shulkie fans the big middle finger.

I really don't get it why writers feel like taking jabs at the fanbase. It's one thing knowing you can't cater to everyone, but why actually go out of your way to antagonize?

Also, considering what happened with Chelsea Cain fucking up badly just a few weeks ago, maybe using t-shirts to deliver messages is not such a good idea. more

Well written, as is the case with Aaron, but he gets annoyingly meta and doubles down on angry She Hulk telling us she’s here to stay.
One of Marvel’s smartest funniest characters has become the old boring version of Hulk smash.
So basically Aaron female Avengers are weak, angry She Hulk, a Captain Marvel he does not know how to use (does anybody?) and the founding member and former leader the Wasp relegated to the agents of Wakanda with a bunch of D listers. more

As usually with Aaron, very well written, but I don’t really need a Bor stand alone story

Great finale. The Thors together are magnificent and Aaron has made Thor as heroic and powerful as he has probably ever been.
However, Malekith might have been defeated a tad too easily and the Game of Thrones “homage” became almost rip off with the fire and ice thing and the death of Malekith a la Ramsey Bolton.
Still, one of the best events, I would say, ever, all across the line.

First hick up of the weekly event. A bit of a letdown since all of the previous chapters were great! Hope they finish better than this. Barberi's style is ok and maybe it didn't fully match the previous artists but it's OK.

I've actually quite enjoyed this issue, probably even more than the past couple. Not too bad, if they continue like this, the ending should be pretty good.

A good issue, if a bit disjointed. I'm hoping the finale can end things strongly.

This story has been close to perfect from the beginning. Diving into different characters minds over each issue is always a great way to remember this story encompasses every character in it. No Way Home is by and large a great story that will spring to life some interesting directions in the next few years. Plus we have a new family of baddies that are literally every persons greatest fears. As a Spring board into the Savage Avengers and beyond, I’ve enjoyed every issue just fine. more
