The All-New Marvel Now Fantastic Four opened with the team torn apart then flashed back to a battle with Fin Fang Foom but even bigger threat was unleashed.
Here’s a look inside Fantastic Four #2 courtesy Marvel. The Fall of the Fantastic Four is the first arc and things are looking dire for Marvel’s First Family. Continue reading Heroes Fall In FANTASTIC FOUR #2 Preview
After pulling myself together after watching The Time of the Doctor I had an inspiration: Matt Smith as Reed Richards?
Yes, we’ll work on the hair but…
While looking back at the Eleventh Doctor era I kept seeing Smith as the leader of Marvel’s First Family. If you look at Matt Smith’s first Doctor Who episode The Eleventh Hour you can see his shyness and vulnerability when asking Amy Pond to be his companion for adventures in time and space. I could easily see Smith as Reed Richards trying Continue reading From DOCTOR WHO to FANTASTIC FOUR?
Are the stars aligning for Fox’s reboot of the Fantastic Four?
Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones) and Saoirse Ronan are testing for the roles of Reed Richards and Susan Storm according to Variety. The report goes on to say Miles Teller and Jack O’Connell will be considered for Richards while Kate Mara will test for Sue.
Reed and Sue become Marvel’s ultimate power couple, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman. With actors this young it sure look likes Fox is rebooting from the beginning and not picking up from the earlier FF movies. Continue reading GAMES OF THRONES Star Tests for FANTASTIC FOUR
Matt Fraction and Mark Bagley show us why Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are Marvel’s First Family of fun and faith in Fantastic Four #1. The creative team is sending the family (with kids in tow) across time and space on the ultimate vacation. This road trip through unexplored universes masks a darker purpose that will grip the heart of every FF fan.
Something is very wrong with Reed Richards. Like a good father he accepts the burden on his own and puts on a brave face for his family. Fraction does a great job setting up each member of the team. There are perfect scenes showing us the essence of each character and setting up Reed’s decision to take the family away and search for a new “Four” to stand in for them on Earth.
Like every family there are flaws. Franklin has a terrifying nightmare (or vision of the road trip’s wrong turn) and what happens next really made me feel for the kid. Mark Bagley creates a moment when Susan is pleading for Reed to share what’s really behind this trip. The endearing and tender scenes are as gripping as the moment in the far future “where everything went wrong” and leads to Reed’s disheartening diagnosis.
The story will continue in FF#1 in which Fraction reveals the new FOUR and maybe Johnny’s girl and her transformation into Miss Thing. This is great time to rejoin or start following the Fantastic Four as they embark on a fun journey and face a looming crisis that threatens their future. Welcome to the family.
