FF - Volume 1: Fantastic Faux (Marvel Now) (Fantastic Four)
Marvel’s first family is the next big thing, as the Fantastic Four leave on an interdimensional journey placing Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Medusa, and Darla Deering in charge of the Future Foundation, the Baxter Building, and the planet. Fraction and Allred offer up an offbeat, wacky, and strikingly personal adaptation in their new take on the classic foursome. Fraction manages to weave a complex Fantastic Four story and keep his finger on the pulse of what makes a good superhero ensemble team. Allred’s thick outlines and daring visual storytelling complement Fraction’s rotating plot, making every turn of the page a thrilling prospect. With an eclectic cast of characters (including the infamous Dragon Man and a surprise appearance by Black Bolt’s trusty hound, Lockjaw), this book is a must-have for fans of anything with the name Chris Claremont on the cover. --Ben Spanner
