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

Product Information

As the Fantastic Four contends with Dark Reign, an older Franklin arrives from the future with an ominous warning. It provides a glimpse into the scope of what Hickman is setting up in his major story arc, and how far back those seeds originate. Other plots are continued from other sources not contained in the omnibus (such as Norman Osborne's unexplained role as a government agent in charge of superheroes or something, and Dr. There's just so much here to sink your teeth into: sci Fi adventures, emerging societies, cosmic and intimate sized moments, and deep emotional moments.

He is known for creating the Image Comics series The Nightly News, The Manhattan Projects and East of West, as well as working on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, FF and S. This confirms for me that I'm not really a fan of the Fantastic Four, but Hickman creates such a large epic story I'm enjoying seeing it come together. Things kick off with a Dark Reign tie-in miniseries, in which Hickman immediately gets into the head of Mr. Now it's been a few months since this came out, and I'm eagerly awaiting the second and presumably final volume, but as of right now, I don't have any idea when that might be.

Another page, another stunner, and overall the best run of issues Hickman produces on what will be remembered as among the best runs on the Fantastic Four. One of my favorite things that Hickman does beautifully is balance the sheer number of important characters that are on the run. because there are so many characters in this book that you wanted to see in a comic and they're all in there (i'm including volume 2 in this).

this sets off a fairly complex storyline with lots of things going on in the background with maneuvering by Doom, Moleman, The Wizard, and several groups including the Inhumans and the Atlanteans.Without getting into spoilers, it's impossible to deny Hickman has a way of world building through mystery and abstract high brow science fiction concepts. 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. If I reread the book, I might see how it was foreshadowed throughout, but on the first go, it sure felt like it came out of nowhere and didn't hit as hard as it could have. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

The first half of Jonathan Hickman's celebrated run on The Fantastic Four, contained in this omnibus, doesn't quite recapture the magic for me. As the Future Foundation contends with the Council of Reeds and the Mad Celestials, Valeria turns to their greatest foe! The primary issue I have with the material in this book was likely beyond Hickman's control: it collects not a sequential set of issues of The Fantastic Four series but rather a bunch of Fantastic Four stories culled from a handful of different series and miniseries. Minor cons, the ending leaving you hanging (this is volume one), no page numbers, and no written intro from the author or anyone.The book starts with Reed Richards asking himself how he can solve everything, how he can make up for mistakes in the past, and avoid conflict in the future. The pinnacle of high-concept, big-story superhero comics that are still packed with emotional punches throughout. Near Fine/Near Fine 1st impression 1st ed 2014 Marvel hardback omnibus, unclipped DJ, high quality edition. This is my nth time reading this run and I still freaking love it, one of the finest marvel comics ever. Reed Richards tries to solve everything, which leads him to join a bunch of Reed Richards's from other universes who banded together to solve everything.
