Marvel Two-In-One #11

The Four might be back, but Marvel 2-in-One is still telling great stories with just half of the cast. Read Full Review

This issue was about tying up loose ends, not only in Marvel 2-in-One but in the main Fantastic Four book. It remains to be seen how Reeds actions, as explained in this issue, will be addressed in The FF. In fact it remains to be seen how our Fantastic Four, with a lot of help from their friends, got out of the situation in which we left them back in September. I still look forward to seeing the Fantastic Four return to doing what they do best: Challenging the Unknown and righteously clobbering the evils that they find along the way. Read Full Review

Marvel Two-in-One #11 doesn't reach the grandest heights that Zdarsky has previously achieved, but it still tugs the heart strings and gives the reader hope for better futures for all. The art isn't perfect, but it is evocative of early Fantastic Four stories and helps communicate the narrative. In a run that's swung from "legendary" to "blech," with not much in-between, #11 settles well into the "damn good" range. Read Full Review

While there are also hints of what's to come, this issue is all about how different people come to love one another, and it provides a great summary of a classic friendship. Read Full Review

Reed and Ben's reunion road trip ties up some loose ends and unleashes some bittersweet feelings before revisiting this title's unique Reed-Doom relationship. It's a pity this feels so much like a farewell. There are realms of potential here that the Slott/Pichelli FF will probably never get around to exploring. Two-in-One hasn't always been flawless, but on balance it has been … yes, we have to say it: Fantastic. Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 8.0 " Even with the return of the main book, "Marvel Two-in-One" continues to be a great character study of the Fantastic Four, two characters at a time. Read Full Review

Marvel Two-In-One #11 did a fantastic job exploring the current state of Mr. Fantastic and the Thing's friendship. Chip Zdarsky was able to use previously established continuity from events like Secret Wars to give greater weight to Reed and Sue Richards disappearance. What that meant for Reed and Ben's relationship propelled this issue to be one that Fantastic Four fans don't want to miss out on. Read Full Review

As mentioned, issue #12, this book's finale, will seemingly pair the Human Torch and the Invisible Woman. Fitting enough. It's unfortunate to see a book that started with so much promise fizzle out under the weight of editorial mandates. But that's comics, and it's certainly modern Marvel Comics. Zdarsky is moving on to a new Invaders series, which he promises to bring the same kind of heart that initially won this title plenty of acclaim. And though Dan Slott has promised a Fantastic Four run lasting many years, I can only hope that when he's ready to release the reins, they land in the capable hands of Chip Zdarsky. Read Full Review

The knowledge gained in this issue could be summarized in a few sentences and you wouldn't be missing any plot advancements. Read Full Review

This really does a great job explaining why Reed and Sue and the others were gone and it shows that Zdarsky truly understands the Fantastic Four and Doom.

Reed Richards takes a resentful Ben Grimm on an interdimensional road trip and they sort some things out. This series is obviously hamstrung by the start of Dan Slott's Fantastic Four, but I deeply love this issue for taking its own stand on Reed's motivations. It features fairly strong art and epic characterization, and I'm glad the author doubled down on his fascinating ideas regarding Reed and Doom from the Annual.

Back to form as it's wrapping up. Zdarsky should've had the chance to do more but he does enough with this one. It's obvious this was going to be a longer story but oh well. I was hard on Ramon Perez before but only because his previous chapters were bad. Not here! Perez finally puts in the work on art(pencils+inks) and does a pretty good job overall. I loved the way he drew the Thing!

As we're reaching the end, the series delivers an emotional issue of Reed and Ben. It's a nice supplement to the main book, even if not being a direct continuation of what the series was about in the beginning.
