Review of
Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual Issue 1
comic
Five out of five stars
Two groups with superpowers meet
This comic is a
reboot of the event where the Fantastic Four meet the Attilans, a group of powerful
creatures that live an extremely secluded existence on Earth. It opens with
Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, out nightclubbing and trying to impress the
women when there is an event where what appears to be a woman is being chased
by unusual creatures. Johnny Storm intervenes and gets thoroughly beat up. The
apparent woman is Crystal, she is beautiful, and she is fleeing an arranged
marriage in Attilan.
When Crystal is
forcibly returned to Attilan, the Fantastic Four are able to go there and
attempt a rescue. This leads to a battle and a time of reconning, where the two
groups of super beings have to decide whether to try to coexist or remain
apart.
I am someone
that enjoys reading the first installment of a reboot of a comic story. Since I
am familiar with most of the original stories, it is interesting to see the
differences in the plotline as well as determine if the proper background
context has been laid for the continuance of the story. That criteria has been
met here. Also, Sue Storm is depicted as a much more forceful personality,
often giving the orders rather than Reed Richards. That raises the quality.
