Pretty fun. The art is solid, particularly the story by the Alreds.

I'm of two minds about this one. Alicia and Ben's wedding is a sweet moment, though if you've never cared much about the F4, this won't be thing that makes you start. But all that is counterbalanced by a really pointless retcon in the gang's origin story. All in all, this is really a celebration of the F4, and non-fans need not apply.

El innecesario recap del cómic de 1963 de cómo se hicieron con sus poderes. El machismo de los dibujos en Sue y los trajes tan apretadísimos sigue estando ahí.
Y luego creía que me lo pasaría bien con las despedidas de soltero, pero solo me reí cuando Thundra les pega una paliza a Dr Strange, Thor, Tony Stark, Ben, Johnny, Peter Quill y T'Chala al strip poker.
La insensbilidad de los Richards:
Sue lleva a un club de striptease a Alicia. Nen, que Alicia es ciega, que le tiene que estar contando todo el rato Sue lo que ven.
Y luego Reed, sudando olímpicamente de toda la boda hasta que es demasiado tarde y quedan diez minutos y le dice "Nah, mira, si lo he hecho es porque te he construido este aparato temporal que te da 4 minutos más, para que tengas 4 minutos más de boda". Yo soy Ben y se lo lanzo a la cabeza, la verdad. CÓMO QUE CUATRO MINUTOS MÁS, COLEGA, QUE TE HAS PERDIDO TODA LA PREPARACIÓN.
De verdad que no puedo con este guión.

Although it largely coasts on the goodwill these characters have built up over the years, and is about as predictable as possible, there is fun to be had here. Still not really feeling it yet though.

Too much filler and humdrum incidents in this marriage of Ben Grimm and Alicia collection.

Five stars for just being a really fun issue! I've always loved the old 60s-70s Fantastic Four comics and seeing the spirit of them here in a newer run just gives me some extreme happiness.

At some point, the world will realize that the face of Marvel - that is second only to Spider-Man's - is The Thing's. Why? Because he starred in years worth of two-in-one series issues, he is connected to the rest of the MCU in a more personal and historic way than any other single Marvel character (Wolverine is probably #3, Captain America #4).
Dan Slott knows this. He knows his stuff. He's not a gimmick monger, someone out to reinvent the wheel, and not an edge lord. The same can't be said for many other writers w/ the weight of the Marvel (or DC) universe on their shoulders. In fact, one of the first things Slott had to do w/ this series was to deescalate some of the Jonathan Hickman excess. See also how he handled the utter destruction of 30+ years of Spider-Man history, following the most awkward and cringe-worthy unwanted reboot in comics history.
Almost everything you need to know about this collection is the fact that the wedding issue was dedicated to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby - and their wives. Nuff' said.
That said - you may want to see more here than you actually get. He handles it in a very straight-forward manner, deliberately taking a post-modern crack at the "galactus crashing the wedding" approach that plagues most comics weddings. It's cozy, as opposed to dynamic - and I appreciate that. He lets them be real people. The bachelor and bachelorette parties could have been longer - should have focused on the fact that all of the guests have massive elaborate connections and crazy lives going on simultaneously. Some characters are missing - Sandman, for instance, has an interesting relationship with The Thing. No Hulk?
Something smarter could have been done for a Alicia's bachelorette party - directed to her personal experience of the world, not the tastes of the friends who were along for the ride. Claremont would have been an apt choice to cover that base.
Ultimately, the book struck the right balance, with the impossible task of entertaining as many new and old readers as possible. Certainly much better than the last most significant wedding in the MCU (Peter and Kitty - part trainwreck, part brilliant switch that went unrecognized by most everyone).
Making #4 Yancy St. a TARDIS was a foreseeable bit of fan wank that I appreciated, too.
Someday, we may yet see Ben Grimm get his due - and recognition as one of the top 5 most well-traveled comic characters ever created.

The biggest surprise I got from this volume was that these two crazy kids weren't married already.
It's hard to believe but this is my favourite FF volume by Dan Slott so far. Maybe because a lot of it is just the FF and their friends fooling around? Eh, go figure!
