Fantastic Four 604

Mr_Cosmic · April 2012

This issue came out in March but I just got around to reading it now.

Wow!

What a satisfying conclusion to many of the plot threads that have been weaving for a long time. I'm not sure if any concluding issue has made me want to go back and read the whole story over again like this one has.

My only complaint is that, once again, it's Reed's fault.

Oh, and single greatest comic moment so far this year:

SPOILERS

"throughout all of space and time...The Devourer of Worlds has had many heralds...

Franklin has had only one."

Franklin: "To me... MY GALACTUS!"

Galactus, herald of Franklin...wow!!!

This is without a doubt one my favorite issues of FF. Hckman has done a wonderful job on this series.

Trev · April 2012

Be sure to read FF 16 too. Valeria's story.

Mr_Cosmic · April 2012

D'oh! Trev!!!

I just dropped it...sigh, now I'll have to buy it, lol.

Greg · April 2012

Yeah, you'll want to read that.

Fantastic Four is one of those titles that can go from really dull to really rockin'. I definately think that both Fantastic Four and FF have been rockin' lately. Marvel is really upping it's game recently.

Mr_Cosmic · April 2012

FF 16...yeah, glad I read that! Great addition to the story and what a step up on the art. The art was why I dropped it and it's good to know that's not a problem anymore.

...Doom with the.....!!!!!

Trev · April 2012

Yep. I dropped FF when bobillo started but picked it up again when dragotta started.

I named FF 604 & FF 16 as my best picks of the week after I read my DCBS stack.

Hickman's run is coming long for a strong finish.

I don't trust Valeria for a nanosecond.

Yes, Dr. Doom with the.........at the end. I actually blurted out an excited OH MY GOD, which I haven't done while reading a comic since childhood.

Trev · April 2012

I actually do trust Valeria. That's what makes her awesome to me. She knows what she's doing when she does it.

Mr_Cosmic · April 2012

Super smart Valeria was an eye roller for me back when she first started showing signs of genius(Miller's run?). However, I've come to love her character. She is just a blast to read and Hickman is really using her in some great ways.

Hickman has certainly brought the 'cosmic' aspect back to the book that had been missing for a while. I still miss the excitement of the 'explorer' book and hope the 'consequences' storylines take a back seat. Galactus is a bad ass again. FF has just left me flat and the biggest reason has been the art.

Greg · April 2012

Lately the art in FF has not won any accolades from me, but Dragotta does a pretty good job of capturing emotion and nails facial expressions at some key times, like when Valeria is staring quite hatefully at her older self.
