Fantastic Four #34

How long will the Human Torch stay changed forever? Will Dr. Doom and Victorious keep their wedding presents or send them back? And what will Spider-Man say when he finds out whats happened to his buddy Johnny? These questions and many others (yes, Spider-Man will be dropping in presently) will be answered in the next several issues of The Fantastic Four! Read Full Review

The wedding of Doctor Doom has been well and truly ruined. And someone has to pay! No guessing who in Fantastic Four #34 BY Dan Slott and R.B. Silva Read Full Review

Johnny Storm's most immature moment leads to an all-out battle, and for once, you kind of think for a split-second that Doctor Doom has a point. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #34 concludes Dr. Doom's wedding, and while it's fun at times, nothing significant truly happens. There's no real shakeup in the status quo regarding Doom, the FF, Victorious, or anyone else there. It also doesn't help that Johnny and Victorious' relationship lacks any chemistry so it's not that convincing. The art is great as usual and so is the action as the FF and their allies try to stop the chaos you'd expect from a disastrous Dr. Doom wedding. Read Full Review

The action is decent but there's just a lot of it, ironically leading one of Fantastic Four's most action-packed issues to feel like a bit of filler. Read Full Review

Silva's art carries the issue

It would have been better had the marriage happened. But the status quo must prevail.

Gotta like the art, action, and what pieces of the narrative will come back to bite everyone. I just wonder if everything Doom did in this arc really was just for appearances like he said. Like maybe he put things together... but I'm having trouble believing that myself.

Great art from Silva! Slott is gonna Slott so some things land well and others are hard to believe. We'll see how this shakes out in the future.

I didn't hate this one, but really, if I kept thinking about it, I'm sure I would end up with a less-than-positive impression about it, so I'll stop thinking about this one.

Its not bad and overall enjoyable but its pretty cheesy if you think about it took hard. I did like the end though.

The wedding of Dr. Doom ends after an impressive amount of zappy-zappy and double-cross-y, with semi-significant consequences for one of the FF. It's gorgeously illustrated, the pace is smooth, and the dialogue's even decent. This plot is just so stupid and gimmicky, though! It's a real Rube Goldberg machine: Constructed with incredible care, but designed to accomplish extremely questionable goals. And it never answers the key question: How much of the plot did Doom anticipate, or even engineer? Also, even if your purpose is to make a joke about how awful it is, it's still pretty awful to have Namor hitting on Sue in 20-goddamn-21. (I'm also definitely not a fan of Doom semi-sorta slut-shaming his fiancee at the start.)

Writing is incredibly inconsistent, as it has been for this run. Characters don't make any sense. Art is quite good.

Just when it seemed Dan Slott’s run was improving, he comes up with a storyline so mind bogglingly stupid that it makes you doubt there is an editor or an editor in chief at work. Slott’s knack for gimmicks has always been a problem, but with a fun character like Spider Man, gimmicks work, but it’s entirely another thing where you have characters like Dr. Doom and Reed Richards act like idiots to adapt to a pathetic, ridiculous soap operish gimmick. Embarrassing.
