FF is one of the funniest and most enjoyable books you could produce, it's got amazing art, great writing, and the perculiar and unique comedy that this book is perfect at. That sentence sums up my thoughts of this comic completely and I could leave it at that, but I know that's not much of a review, so let me say some more.
Matt Fraction has managed to write a brilliant story in this book, and every issue manages to sum up who the character's are, which is NOT their counterparts on the original Fantastic Four team, and he shows this perfectly, and shows the public's reaction to this replacement team brilliantly.
He also adds in a lot of humour, which isn't something you see much of in recent comics. It's not usually straight-forward jokes, but the situations and characters are so different, weird and unique that it make sthe stoty funny. And the fact that the Baxter Building now officially has a Karaoke stage inside the Observatory on the roof is enough to give this issue a 10/10.
The art in this issue is by a stand-in artist, Joe Quinnones. The art style is very similar, and I'll be honest, I've had to update this review since it took me a few days to notice it wasn't Mike Allred. A lot of times a stand-in artist is seen as a bad thing, but Joe Quinnnone's art fits the style of the book really well, so it's definitely not a problem.
The creative team also aren't afraid to bring up topics that some people see as "difficult", and being able to include LGBT topics in a story is something a lot of creators can be too scared to do, but Matt Fraction and the stand-in artist, Joe Quinnones show it perfectly.
Overall, one of the best comics out this week, and one of the best series being produced in comics at the moment. Roll on the next issue!
Rating: 10/10!
You definitely need to buy this book!
