Billed like a relaunch but came off like a retread. Nothing new to see here folks, it has all been done. Is that completely fair? No. Certainly the details are different and some of them interesting. But I would have preferred stories of the school and the kids, though Val with Dr. Doom is fine.

Not looking forward to the next books bringing the story around to the first few pages. But the writing itself was pretty good. And the art was certainly good enough.

I love how this book has got a very nostalgic feel to it, going through a lot of the F4's early adventures. It's got a very classic vibe. Johnny losing his powers is super interesting, and so is the F4 dealing with the aftermath of Franklin's powers. The one thing that kind of irritates me in this book is the treatment of Sue. She's badass and super powerful but it feels like her primary role in mother/wife, which is fine in real life, but since she's a superhero on a team of superheroes, I tend to want something more. She does have good moments though.

The art is really nice, and it's a fun book, but made a bit sadder with the knowledge that it's kind of the last run before the F4 disappeared. I cherish all the time they really shine as a family.

Surprisingly interesting. I have never really liked the FF but the real-world feel of being sued and having their children taken from them was surprisingly impacting.
