Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman: The Complete Collection Vol. 1

Love this!!! Full color and great pages. Love the price for this collection! From the first the the last comic of the F4. Great story telling and it arrived in great shape as well.

I really enjoyed reading this! I made the purchase mostly for nostalgia, but as I read, I quickly got into the story.

This is my first time reading FF comic book, the first volume of the collection had good stories and an okey ones.

Jonathan Hickman came on the comics scene with his first hit, "The Nightly News." With that books success and the other work he did at Image comics with multiple miniseries, Marvel took notice and put him on some smaller Marvel books, like Secret Warriors. After that, Marvel moved him to one of their tentpole books, Marvels first family, The Fantastic Four. Hickman took over the book and immediately made it his own. The family all had a distinct voice of their own, while still feeling fresh. Hickman starts his run on the FF in a contemporary setting during the "Dark Rein" period, following secret invasion. It doesn't do too much to set up the future of what's to come with his run on the book, but we do get revelations about Reed and Sues son, Franklin. Franklin Richards is beginning to use his mutant powers once again, and displays a small fraction of what's to come with is abilities, which goes far and wide in Hickmans Fantastic Four and FF series. After the Dark Rein mini, he hops onto the series proper. With this move he takes full control, and starts seeding little bits and pieces that will become important, not only for the Fantastic Four, but also his run on Avengers and New Avengers. The story is told in seemingly one shots, or one and done's, but establishes all you will need to know going forward, wether you are new to the book, or a returning reader. The Fantastic Four sold very well, and continued Marvels faith in Hickman to breathe life into a book, and boost sales. This Fantastic Four run has also influenced pop culture. You may have seen Rick and Morty, and if you have you will see plenty of sci fi concepts appear here, that you may have never realized were popularized with the FF. There are also other TV shows and movies, as well as other comics that have either riffed Hickmans style, concepts, or story beats. All in all, I cannot recommend this book more. Hickman is a genius, and to this day with his revival of the X-Men, comics are looking better than they have in years. House of X and Powers of X is the first time I, personally, have ever cared, or been able to follow the X-Men. 5/5

This was great, I haven't sat down with a comic in years. What a collection of stories to start with. Good stuff!

Great story telling

Product arrived early and in great condition!

great writer

Sehr gut

Honestly.. The quality isnt the greatest. Very thin pages, book feels flimsy. Arrived half warped. However the actual comic is fantastic! My first time reading fantastic 4 and I love it.

buena recopilacion de una etapa magnifica . Barata y buena aunque lel papel es muy fino.

Checked out some of Hickman’s FF run years ago wish I got round to reading the start sooner especially since I’m a big fan of his other works

Primeiro volume da excelente fase do Hickman no quarteto, retornando às raízes de ficção científica. Muito recomendado.
