The new FF are struggling to hold down the fort. Bentley gets up to some mischief. The future Human Torch awakens and the future he's predicted draws nearer.

Ant-Man and company continue trying to fill the shoes of the Fantastic Four and go up against a leviathan, The Wizard, Blastaar, and The Inhumans but their biggest enemies seem to be themselves.

That might be stretching it a little but Matt Fraction and Mike Allred have created a throwback to the Fantastic Four of the 1960's, a bickering team that still feels like a family.

I dig Matt Fraction's writing. Maybe not as much as Dan Slott's on the Silver Surfer but he does a good job of writing something that works to Mike Allred's strengths and fits his art style. He also gets some mileage out of The Wizard and the Inhumans, something I don't think many writers do a good job of. I also like how he's planting seeds for the next volume while doing some good character development within the FF cast.

I really like what Matt Fraction is doing here and I'm keen to start the next volume. Four out of five stars.

Some really good lady and kid characters in this book.

Also, MIKE ALLRED! Holy shit. I would read anything this guy draws. You always get nice surprises. I don't think I've ever been let down by his art, and it's really cool to see him doing mainstream books.

If you're curious, I recommend checking out his run on X-Force. Very good stuff, great read.

Certainly a more tongue-in-cheek representation of the Fantastic Four. Scott Lang's Ant-Man is a huge source of the comedy here. Leaving him and three others in charge of a fleet of super-powered children makes for some decent chuckles. I like the cliffhanger that ended this arc, and I'll be excited to finish this run up.

Muy bueno, el guion de Fraction es excelente, aunque lo mejor de sí mismo lo da en Hawkeye. El dibujo de Allred hay que apreciarlo dentro de lo que es, con un estilo propio y unas dimensiones extraterrestres que transmiten más que muchos otros autores de moda. Casi imprescindible.

Given the writer and artist, I wanted to like this so much. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't.

Goofy but not nearly as good as it could have been. I like the setup of this book. But it's just written nor drawn as well as it was imagined. And there are lots and lots of characters. But making use of those characters well is difficult, and this book barely tried.

I really don't care about the "plot". I just want to see the kids be tiny evil geniuses, and then realize that it may be more fun to just go peacefully home and try on dresses/breathe fire/the ushe.

I thought I read this before but maybe I only read single issues? Or more likely, just a lot of random panels from it on Tumblr.

Anyway, it's really cute and fun, hooray!
