Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Vol. 1 (Fantastic Four Omnibus)

Product Information

I must have done so in an alternate universe, and then the memory from that timeline must have somehow bled into this one.

Omnibus usually includes bonus materials such as the creation of the work, alternative covers, sketches, comic scripts, and more. Events from Fantastic Four are informed by what occurs in FF and vice-versa, and the paperback collections individually only provide part of the story. For someone so good at rattling off science jargon to make Reed and the family seem smart, he still finds time for little moments of levity and heart, that I tend to overlook after my first read through, but loved catching this time. The story is a wild adventure, with trips to the moon, the bottom of the sea and space, and its alway cool to see Galactus, Silver Surfer and Doctor Doom, and so many Marvel heroes. Hickman è stata la cosa migliore che è capitata alla Marvel negli ultimi anni, tra Secret Warriors, Avengers e questo Fantastic Four.After reading House of X/Powers of X, X-Men, Inferno and Ultimates all by Hickman I can say with confidence that the sample size of my Hickman readings have come to fruition. He hits the right notes, and thoroughly highlights the cosmic zaniness that makes a good FF story (with the support of many great artists). But I think the charm, the camp, and the whole hearted nature of the Fantastic Four elevate this story to a whole other level. Not so for the kids, Franklin and Valeria, as they are made integral to the story right from the beginning and through all three series collected.

This book has feeling, intelligence, a fantastic story and some unbelievably good characters and fight scenes. He also does a fantastic job intertwining several plots and characters together that seamlessly come together for a great payoff. This is a book I'm going to have to read again to better understand and pick up on smaller ideas I might have missed in my first read. Making this kind of lasting impact is not easy to accomplish but Hickman has done it time and again. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Marvel cleverly closes out this volume of the omni with the sort of rising tension that'll make you want to start volume two straight away! Art by Mark Bagley, Barry Kitson, Dale Eaglesham, Lorenzo Ruggiero, Adi Granov, Neil Edwards, Andrew Currie, Paulk Neary, Scott Hanna, Steve Epting, Rick Magyer, Mike Perkins, Nick Dragotta, Mark Brooks, Butch Guice, and Sean Chen. His Ben and Johnny have the right voice behind them, but it’s obvious his interests land more in the Sue/Reed/Val/Franklin ball park (and that’s ok). Grievng, the surviving members of the Fantastic Four dissolve the team - but from its ashes rises the Future Foundation! Most of what's collected in volume one of the omnibus sees the F4 going on seemingly unconnected adventures, with the occasional flashes of the conflicts to come.
