The New Fantastic Four: Monsters Unleashed


  Fantastic Four Monsters Unleashed (1990) #1
  When a rogue Skrull, impersonating the Invisible Woman incapacitates the Fantastic Four, the alien fakes their deaths in order to recruit a new team. Comprised of Wolverine, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and the gray Hulk, here comes the New Fantastic Four. Their formation will take them to the mysterious lair of the Mole Man called Monster Island to apprehend the supposed murderers of the First Family of the Marvel Universe.
   
 Written by the legendary Walt Simonson with art by the master of Monsters, Art Adams, Monsters Unleashed collects the epic three issue run that has become a fan favorite and is regarded as a classic FF storyline. It's so well respected that this all new team spawned not one but two 'What If...' Specials in the last decade. That's a testament to this 25-year old storyline's staying power amongst fans! 

    Featuring a slew of Skrulls, superheroes, crazy inventions of Reed Richards, and giant monster cameos, this is the perfect Fantastic Four story. I, like many other fans just wish the new line up would have lasted a little longer than a trio of issues.

   Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
