Fantastic Four Comic (review)

At long last! Another comic review! I have to read an entire long box of these to finally get my opinion on the 20+ years collected inside it.....and it's all junk.

Great idea for a super hero team, interesting use of powers but the only fun thing about it was the occasional prank war between Thing and Human Torch and the Thing vs the Yancy Street Gang.

Other than that.....garbage. BORING garbage at that!

Susan Storm is a HO. Does nothing but dream about being with other guys (mainly Namor) only to "come to her senses" in the end and go back to Reed Richards, who's completely clueless about what's going on around him the ENTIRE time!

This comic also includes several guest appearances by....the writer of the comic book. 4 times *in my collection) they break the 4th wall and meet the person drawing their comic. Twice it's meant for humor, the other 2 times it's "cosmic"

The worst one was when the writer had no idea how to get the Fantastic Four back to the earth, so he had them enter a doorway on an alien planet....meet the artist and while they ask him what he's drawing, it turns out to be a picture of them in Baxter Building, which once he makes the final pen stroke they magically appear back at home on the next page.Wonder what happened, then laugh it off and pretend everything is normal.

Such garbage.

One of the worst comic series in my collection and THAT'S saying a lot!

Skip it if you were ever interested in reading this mind numbing series.
