Fantastic Four!

Fantastic Four #4 continues the travels of the team in time and space.  I do not even know where to start in saying how disappointing this issue was.  Once again Reed Richards the so called Mister Fantastic has done something so very selfish and idiotic.  I really do not like the new and evil Illuminati version of Mr. Fantastic.  I was also not happy that the only way the writers felt they could include the Thing and the Human Torch was by having them fight.  As the writers like to point out by having Reed be evil the Thing and Torch have not changed at all.  I’m just so disappointed in this comic the writers had a chance to fix all that was wrong with the Fantastic Four with this reboot and instead they just made things worse.

Fantastic Four!

Fantastic Four number three was rather disappointing.  After a buildup of two issues the first real adventure is a fight with a giant planet / star thing that tries to eat the Fantastic Four and kids.  But no real surprise since this new Reid Richards is now the most selfish person in the Marvel Universe.  This series had real potential and now I’m not sure if I will continue to buy it or not.

More Comics!

The All New X-Men #1 sucked.  I just finished reading the issue and well the art was good.  Really I feel ripped off for spending money on this comic.  Note to Marvel Comics, the DC comics reboot worked because they wrote good stories.  It was also a true reboot and not just the aftermath of this year’s big cross over event.  What happens next year?  Another bunch of #1 comic reboots?

Next I read Fantastic Four #1, now that was an interesting comic. The Fantastic Four was one of the first comics I bought regularly.  So I was amused to see Johnny Storm the Human Torch is alive again.  I am not sure how that did not make the news at all.  Then the Thing was defeated by the Yancy Street Gang, again.  Seriously I am amazed that after all these years the Yancy Street Gang is a threat to the Thing.  The Thing can and has gone head to head against the Hulk for goodness sake.  Anyway we shall see where this story line heads.
