FF #1

pingclang's FF #1 - Parts of a Hole review

Surprise!

I have to once more hand it to Mr. Fraction, this book completely surprised me in how good it is. The story is pretty much a continuation of what occurred in Fantastic Four #1. We see more of the team prepping their respective replacements for the four minutes they will be off-planet. The story is charming in that it sticks to character driven story as we see the family and the story is simply all about the people in the books. I love this element, a focus not on fighting and horrible events but on the people, its very Silver Age.

The art on the book is noteworthy to me for one major reason, it is so old school. I feel like I am reading an old book, not something that just hit the book rack. It isn't a photorealistic style, the same thing everyone has tried to do since Jim Lee, but a very stylish and classic style that at first glance seems ugly but the more I read the more I fell in love with it.

This is a buy issue, big time. It doesn't quite match the awesome of it`s Fantastic Four counter part, but it is really good.

The dialogue highlights Fractions ability to both create realism and out of this world humor. However, t...

Let me start by saying I liked this. I'm saying that because when this was announced, I was very against this book. I thought the concept sounded dumb, the team looked lame, and it was going to be a waste.I read Fantastic Four, and did for most of Hickman's run. I never really bought FF outside of three issues. I was able to follow Fantastic Four just fine. I like Fraction as well. His run on Iron Man is probably the best in my opinion. I love what he is doing on Hawkeye. I liked Defenders for w...
