Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman: The Complete Collection Vol. 1 (Fantastic Four, 1)

Product Information

Arch-Enemy: Doom and Reed, one of the most strongly It's Personal pair of nemeses in all of comics, although in practice the enmity extends to the rest of the team as well. President Evil: Doctor Doom, who seized control of the Ruritania-esque Eastern European nation of Latveria. As for the rest of the team: The Thing is likewise a very intelligent ex-fighter pilot. On his worst days, he's needy, pessimistic, and pushy; on his best, he is braver than Captain America. Sue is the most powerful member of her team and on her best day the Team Mom, but she's got self-esteem issues and doubts Reed's devotion to her and to the family. Most interesting of all is Reed: he's brilliant, he's rich, he's famous, he's got a great family and the name of every other superhero on his rolodex, and he's even easy on the eyes, but every so often he admits his deep guilt over causing the accident that made the Fantastic Four in the first place - even guilt over what happened to Victor Von Doom, even though he didn't have a damn thing to do with it. Collects New Fantastic Four #1-5. A 2022 story by Peter David taking place after the first adventures of the New FF (Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, The Hulk) in FF #347-349. Sacred Flames: In Fantastic Four #260 Doctor Doom gets his body obliterated during a fight between Tyros The Terrible and the Silver Surfer. Doom's mind resides in the body of a bystander, who now uses "Gypsy magic" and the "Flames of Falroth" in his Latverian castle to try and reconstruct his mortal body. When these sacred flames cannot undo the disintegration, they summon The Beyonder instead. It's an awkward moment, having recently returned from Secret Wars (1984).

Fantastic Four Reading Order - Comic Book Treasury Fantastic Four Reading Order - Comic Book Treasury

Collects: Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man (2017) #1-6, Material from Free Comic Book Day 2017 (Secret Empire) #1 Absent-Minded Professor: Reed. Often extending as far as Ditzy Genius. Whenever there's a Broke Episode, Reed is usually the culprit. In one story arc, Reed tried to remove Ben's mutation and add it to his own elasticity, but Ben refused to let him. "You're you an' I'm me, an' that's the cosmic plan." Most Common Superpower: For a time during the mid-90s, the Invisible Woman wore a skimpy costume with a cut-out "4" on her cleavage. This was before writers and editors realized that they didn't have to dress Sue up in a slinky costume to make her sexy — she was already a MILF. Things are a little bit more complicated for the last collection. Marvel Knights 4 #25-27 mostly occur before FF #527, Marvel Knights 4 #28 should be read before FF #533, and finally, the last two issues take place after FF #537.For the first twenty (or so) issues, the Invisible Girl can't, or at least doesn't, make force-fields. Her only displayed power was invisibility, which in the earliest comics she primarily used to...hide. Just hide, so the bad guys wouldn't get her. It was only starting with the third issue that she started using her power for espionage as well, and even then she tended to be given away by things like dogs barking at her, and was generally the Damsel in Distress for the other three. For the first two issues, the team just wears street clothes. And yet, Reed is able to make the clothes stretch with his body, and Johnny does not incinerate his clothes whenever he uses his powers. Even after they get uniforms in the third issue (designed and sewn by Sue, of course, as it was the sixties and only women did stuff like that), it's mainly to promote team spirit than to accommodate their powers. During this time, they also operated out of Central City instead of New York City—which is still canon as Reed's hometown.
