Things are calm and normal, and definitely will be for a long while. Things are NOT about to explode in everyone's faces, and this is NOT the last chance at normalcy that the FF will have for a very, very long time! With that being absolutely the case, Ben "The Thing" Grimm and Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm get part-time jobs to bring in some extra cash for the family - and end up getting the same job at the same location. But surely pairing a hotheaded fire guy with an exasperated rock guy is a recipe for peace, quiet and tranquility, right? And surely these two won't bring their own drama with them when working side by side, yes? Also in t more

    Fantastic Four #20 takes the mundanity of working in a grocery store and plucks out family conflicts in the process. There isn't a family-based superhero comic out there as good as this. Read Full Review

    Fantastic Four #20 brings a new little story featuring Ben Grimm, The Thing, and Johnny Storm the Human Torch getting jobs. It's a lot more fun than it sounds. While nothing big or grand happens in the story, it's very much a grounded and fun misadventure for these heroes. It really banks on their brotherly rivalry to bring all kinds of fun hijinks and shenanigans that the two get into. While not being a big story may seem like a downside, it's not for this is genuinely a fun comic story with a beginning, middle, and end that shows more of two of Marvel Comics' best superheroes.

    An ongoing trait of Fantastic Four is the high energy and positive mood. All the creative choices maintain that consistent tone. Theres no part of it that works against the rest. And in that way, little more needs to be said about Fantastic Four #20 beyond it being fun. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez

    May 08, 2024

    Fantastic Four #20 is a mildly amusing, one-shot that's heavy on sitcom antics but devoid of anything remotely approaching a superhero comic. If you're in the mood for entertaining fluff, Ryan North has you covered, but if you want a Fantastic Four comic that actually has superhero adventures, you may be waiting a while. Read Full Review

    There's merit to the humorous script and the superhero style of this issue, but they fail to effectively support one another when combined on the page resulting in a sub-par team-up. Read Full Review
