luana420's review against another edition
3.0
Ultimates alumnus Fialkov takes on the Ultimate Universe version of the Future Foundation, aka the NotFantastic Four Marvel cooked up to spite Fox, owners of the Fantastic Four movie license before they decided to cancel Fantastic Four altogether.
A funny, fast-paced read with uneven artwork - the cartoonish style of the guy in the last few issues, Araujo, is a good deal better than the earlier one, Guevara.
Mostly amusing for the stretched out mystery of the return of Doom: you can tell Fialkov was really upset by Jeph Loeb's dispatching of the Latverian despot in his Ultimatum event miniseries a few years beforehand. Ultimate Doom has his goat's legs again, too, which I enjoyed.
Oh, and I never thought I'd read an official Marvel comic that ended in a hilarious CUM SWITCHAROO by Sue Storm.

Closer to a 2.5.
I had reserved this at the library ages ago and I was trying to figure out why, since I've found the Fantastic Four to be kind of difficult in the modern comics scene.
Then Spider-ham and Captain Americat showed up.
In terms of using alternate universes, this is fun. In terms of storytelling and pacing, the arcs were too short and nothing seemed fleshed out enough. It had moments, but lacked a fullness. Ultimately, it felt more like a missed opportunity than anything else.
But please give me an entire series with Spider-ham and friends. Please.
