Marvel continues it's wonderfully collected omnibuses of famed runs in a surprisingly slim collection, for the page count, with a solid spine allowing for spreading the pages wide so there is lack of gutter loss. The page count to price seems to be going down with Marvel as this is listed as an 800 page book at $100 retail price. When first solicited, it was at $75. That page count for $75 would make more sense as they have done it and DC does. $100 is usually for around 1000 pages or more. Marvel's ever increasing overcharging is getting very annoying and taxing on people's hard earned income. Alright, enough with that soap box rant and into the material itself.
Jonathan Hickman was given the keys to the Marvel first family after a successful run on Secret Warriors and some Image titles. He was still a relatively unknown and was given a historically beloved franchise struggling to resonate with fans and got it to become an instant classic and spawn a second ongoing series!
At their root, the Fantastic Four are about the strength of family and scientific exploration and discovery. The beginning of Hickman's run starts with Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic, using a machine he created, the bridge, to scan the multiverse to see if other earths went through the same crises (superhuman civil war, skrull invasion, etc...) that his has and how they handled them. His objective: SOLVE EVERYTHING. Quite an arrogant and overwhelming task. As he scans the multiverse, he discovers earths that handled these events better or avoided them were due to their Reed Richards acting alone.
Fantastic Four has always been one of the best Marvel series and most imaginative. Its the series that kicked off the Marvel universe's silver age and led to new heights for comics.
That said the series has had its high points and low points. This run is definitely one of the high points.
Hickman takes things back to their roots and examines the natures of the characters. We see the fantastic four as a family and as individuals like never before. We see in new ways what makes Mr. fantastic tick, we see the torch in a new light and so on. These comics are a worthy successor to the runs of Lee/Kirby, John Byrne and Walter Simonson. The stories are on a grand epic scale, the stakes are high and yet the characters remain relatable and likeable. These are fun comics and at the same time very serious in nature. Hickman explores the roots of the characters and shows them in new ways. His run has many changes to the comics. There is a death ( as is foreshadowed on the cover of the omnibus) and we see how the characters react to this.
Hickman takes the series and characters in a new direction with the future foundation and explores the ties to the greater marvel universe and old and new characters. We see older villains and allies in a new light and we are shown new characters that feel fresh. It comes off completely organically and not forced at all. This is the fantastic four taken to its full potential, science fiction ( with elements of fantasy) and with humanity and family tied to the science fiction. Its an amazing read and really draws you in.
The art on these comics is beautiful and you might find yourself just stopping reading to stare at the art many times.
This collection is well built and sturdy with sewn binding.
