Hello Chris good to see your pumping out these reviews! I saw in your latest Giant Dark Phoenix review people are throwing around names at you, just ignore them. Anyone calling people a Nazi for having a different opinion on comics are children who can't have an adult conversation. Anyway I liked this ish but I see your points. Take care.

Nerd Initiative - Matthew Roth
Aug 13, 2025Fantastic Four #2 lures us into a false sense of security before flipping the story on its head and proving that Doom truly is all-powerful. This was never going to be an easy fight nor a fair one, which makes this a must-read. Read Full Review

Aug 13, 2025Fantastic Four #2 is a sharp, inventive chapter that plays to the team's greatest strengthclever, collaborative problem-solvingwhile giving Sue Storm a standout moment as the linchpin of a tense, time-spanning rescue mission. With Ramos and Delgado bringing energy and visual clarity to the twists and settings, it's a rewarding read for fans who like their superheroics smart as well as spectacular. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Aug 13, 2025Fantastic Four #2 struggles to find its footing, relying on convenient plot devices rather than genuine character development or intricate problem-solving. While the art remains a strong point, the narrative choices, particularly regarding Reed Richards's competence and the swift resolution of seemingly insurmountable challenges, leave much to be desired. It feels less like a Fantastic Four adventure and more like a series of plot points designed to get the team back together, regardless of logical consistency. Read Full Review

Plot This comic supports the ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM event. Separated in different eras, unable to communicate, the Fantastic Four are lost. However, Reed manages to create a time machine and store it in a kind of quantum pocket hidden in the FOREVER STONE, which will then endure through time, and one of them will find it. Sue finds it and activates it, using her powers to modify the bending of light. With this machine activated, Sue rescues Reed, Johnny, and Ben in the past, returning just as Doctor Doom sends them to different eras, and the battle begins again. Reed explains to Doom how they return, but that information is power for Doctor Doom, and he will send them back in time again with his magic, but with the certainty that th more

This was a huge improvement from #1! The art looks good, it's the same style but improved. more precise and good deliberate line work. The colors really pop out and the artist really does the simple cartoon faces perfectly. Sue does end up finding her way to the forever stone, Reed stretches himself into the earth and arranged every single diamond into arrows to help her in the future. When Sue gathers the team back they return to the point where they were fighting Doom and like a moron Reed tells Doom how they figured it all out. I knew as I was reading Reed say all of that I was like "No moron shut up! He's just going to do it again with the knowledge of your forever stone!" And what do you know Doom sent them right back but in those more

I have been a Fantastic Four fan for as long as I have been reading comic books (and I started at 5 years old) and I can honestly say that I have no idea who this woman in this comic is. Granted I checked out of the FF about 2 relaunches ago and something could have happened to Sue in that time where she suffered some personality swap ... but this character resembles Sue Richards in appearance only. Also ... why is Reed calling her Sue Storm ... are they no longer married? Ultimately this comic was an absolute waste of Humberto Ramos's talent, he is too good for a story this bad. The plot felt pointless and Sue's narration was way over written. I was going to give this book 4 issues before considering jumping off ... but after this poor more

The idea to separate the FF in their first new issue wasn't great to begin with. In this second issue we learn that it was not even meant to be a concept for a whole story arc, but just an interlude with no real obstacles at all. In fact, the solution to their dilemma was a complete disappointment - an ex machina idea that North probably thinks was really clever. That, plus lazy artwork by a big name artist who apparently doesn't think he has to work to deliver anymore, makes FF #2 an utter failure.
