Fantastic Four #2

Fantastic 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

Ive always been a huge fan of Ramos art and this issue features some great visual moments for the characters as well as awesome and intense action. Read Full Review

The end of Fantastic Four Issue 2 feels rewarding and satisfying, but it immediately transports the team into a situation where they can't rest on their laurels, maintaining a constant momentum. Read Full Review

Fantastic Four #2 is developing really well in this Arc of the new Fantastic Four series and I'm looking forward to see where the creative team take it. In regards to the creative team, I think they've really pulled together and created a wonderful book that works well story wise, complimented beautifully with some incredible pencil work and colour choices from the artists. Please guys, keep up this amazing work! Read Full Review

Fantastic 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

Fantastic 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 ey cannot create that time machine. Johnny realizes this and activates the Time Sled, and they travel back to that same day in the morning to warn their past selves that they must prepare for Doctor Doom's strategy. A brilliant second episode of this new saga, which has all the ingredients of a perfect Fantastic Four comic: action, adventure, mystery, suspense, science fiction, and a powerful opponent. Art Humberto Ramos shows off his artistic skills; with his signature touch, he elevates the action sequences and manages to recreate each era in a completely different way. The color palette is brilliant and highlights all of Ramos's wonderful strokes. Summary Reed Richards' plan works without realizing that Doctor Doom was waiting for them to return; it's part of his Machiavellian plan. 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 moments they try to use the car time thing to undue their idiotic mistakes. Really good ish, only beef is this still doesn't line up to well with One World Under Doom. Are they fighting Doom after they had the debate in ish #6 and this has been the fight after Widow and crew exposed what was happening to Latveria? Something seems to be missing between this and One World Doom... 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 poorly thought out story - I might jump now. I highly recommend that if you are an FF fan that you avoid this book and pick up the Thing limited-series by Tony Fleecs & Justin Mason or even the anthology Fantastic Four Fanfare, it is infinitely better. 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.

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.

Completely agree! I don't know what their problem is. This was most likely my last review of FF. I love the team, but the last time I enjoyed the series was when Alan Davis was writer/artist for a few issues, I think over twenty years ago. I read a couple of issues now and then, only to find that I don't like it. This current run is the worst I've seen, both regarding the art and writing. See ya!
