"Essential Fantastic Four, Vol. 6 (Marvel Essentials)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

 The end of the Stan Lee era results in some new line-ups and a new feel for the FF. The art is some of the best in the entire series. Roy Thomas does an amazing job in the stories he writes- but sadly, the Gerry Conway stories are lacking.

 The last storyline of this volume is about the Fantastic Four going back in time to a very mixed up 1950s. The jumble of new and old, the lame dialogue, and the very sloppy, quick, happy ending is by far the worst of the series (leading up to issue 137) It’s like a very bad NEW GODS issue, without Jack Kirby’s bizarre artwork.
