This was a collection made up of issues of the new Fantastic Four line and the alternate team under the title FF. It made sense to collect the two lines as they intertwine at this point where the storylines are set up.
The set up of Reed forming an alternative team while the real FF are off travelling in time and space is interesting but is a set up so there's a lot of introduction. The problem is apart from Scott I'm not enamoured with any of the other characters. I love the Human Torch, he's one of my first comic book loves, and I've read a lot of versions of the Human Torch but Johnny is an obnoxious arse in these stories.

Great artwork.

I've got the next collection in the Fantastic Four line to read but as for the FF line I don't know if I'm invested enough in the characters to read this. *sigh* Who am I kidding, this has another version of Johnny Storm in it, of course I'll read it. ( )

There's a new Fantastic Four. At least there will be for four minutes, hopefully if everything goes as planned. Piece of cake for the Ant-Man, Medusa, Ms. Thing, and She-Hulk. Of course, this is a comic book, so when does everything go as planned?

My favorite story line was that of Darla, who's Johnny's girlfriend (I think) and sorta kinda becomes Ms. Thing. I thought she had a great story line and it could even be better as the story goes along.

Some of the characters (the kids who are part of the Future Foundation mostly) did sort of get confusing.

It's an interesting story line none the less. And I've found that I really like the stuff that Matt Fraction writes/does. ( )

Love the FF issues, disliked the Fantastic Four issues. But that's probably Reed's fault. Plus I love Allred's art so BIAS YAY. ( )
