Fantastic Four #605

Written By:

Jonathan Hickman

Art By:

Ron Garney

After the events of the last issues, When Nathaniel Richards came back to save the Fantastic Four, it turns out he was willing to save the Fantastic Four to re-write the future. Now Reed and Nathaniel must go forward in thousands of years to explore the "re-written" future.

After reading the last issue, it left us with an empty note, It made me think "What will happen next?!" . Seeing the cover of the next issue i though this issue will actually have an issue with an older Ben Grimm and Older Franklin explore the future, him, Nathaniel and the others "re-written" . But when i read this just now i was misleaded to it. I see this more as a filler issue yet a good filler issue, because this issue caught me really off-guard. It starts off how much the future change, the concept is interesting as it went on with "how come there aren't villains anymore?" or "What did happen to the Fantastic Four?" but then the ending came in and that what caught me off guard.

Johnathan Hickman is full of surprises, it is evident here and the past issues he did when he started his run. His writing saved this issue for being another "A FILLER ISSUE" . I wasn't expecting an emotional take on the Fantastic Four's future, especially Ben's speech a thousand years before he died. It was sad yet kinda heartbreaking to see it happen. If it would have one flaw, It has to be the pacing, though the third act saved it though. The art is not that bad, I like how some of the colors here pop from time to time. I love the detail of the future New York. Overall this book wasn't that bad, it was ok. It wasn't perfect or as good as i was expecting it to be. It ended with an empty note again but i guess #605.1 will cover all that up (I hope). I'll wait for Jonathan Hickman to surprise me again.

I'll give this a:

4.5/5
