This Fanfare is devoted entirely to Marvel’s first family: the Fantastic Four with two epic tales. First, the Mad Thinker comes to the FF trapped in the body of the Awesome Android with the promise to go straight if Reed Richards will free him. The story was pretty good until the end which got very trippy, very fast. The conclusion was abruptly sloppy for such a climatic lead-up. It left me disappointed.
Then we get a flashback tale of Ben Grimm’s life leading up to becoming the Thing. It’s pretty standard origin stuff, with the shocking twist being the woman the Thing left behind. Lots of pathos with dramatic art to boot.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
