/fantastic-four_1_small.webp)
The Fantastic Four may not have much history with Venom - beyond helping Spider-Man capture the symbiote way back when - but when both Doctor Doom and Kang the Conqueror start getting involved in the war...now we've got the FF's attention! It's a wild battle of mad geniuses that spans thousands of years and also the space of a breath - with stakes ...

A relatively low stakes plot but I really liked the duel narration from Reed and Johnny here. North's humor on FF has been a lot better than it was on Squirrel Girl in my opinion.

The World's Smartest Man (Reed Richards, universally acknowledged) and the World's Hottest Man (Johnny Storm, self-proclaimed) are home alone. Their only job is to make sure nothing untoward happens to the farmhouse while everyone else is away. But when Reed develops a magic detector that goes haywire when pointed at a specific spot in their baseme...

I thought this issue was going to be pure cringe (Johnny falls in love with and alien hahahaheee derp) but it ultimately reminded me of The City on the Edge of Forever from Star Trek and that can't be a bad thing.

When an excursion to Latveria magically sends the Fantastic Four to an alien world, they have to work just to survive - and to make their way back to Earth! But that won't be easy on a world so unlike our own and with an alien civilization hundreds of years behind where we are...and it's not made any easier when JOHNNY STORM hooks up with one of th...

INVASION!
The X-Men fly to the rescue of a mutant in crisis in San Francisco. The problem? Alien invaders seem to have a similar idea. Six X-Men vs. an invading alien fleet? Sounds about right. PLUS: THE CONCLUSION OF DEADPOOL/WOLVERINE: WEAPON X-TRACTION!

Halodystroyer44 reviewed Fantastic Four #23 Aug 13, 2024
I'm not the biggest fan of North's (overly silly) style of humor but he actually manages to get a few chuckles out of me here. Overall I really appreciate North's science fiction approach with this title.

Some solid character work and art, but I wish there was a bit more going on plot wise. I've seen Johnny and Ben squabble enough over the years that I didn't need to see it become the focus of an entire issue.

Things are calm and normal, and definitely will be for a long while. Things are NOT about to explode in everyone's faces, and this is NOT the last chance at normalcy that the FF will have for a very, very long time! With that being absolutely the case, Ben "The Thing" Grimm and Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm get part-time jobs to bring in some extr...
