Fantastic Four by Waid & Wieringo: Ultimate Collection, Book 1 by Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo, Mike Buckingham

5.0

IMHO, Mark Waid & Mike Wieringo's Fantastic Four run doesn't get enough love. People like it, sure, but I don't think they *love* it enough. For my money, it's The Third Great FF Run (first is Lee/Kirby, of course, then Byrne) because it hits EVERYTHING that makes the Fantastic Four work... the perfect mix of high adventure, low comedy, astonishing technology, exotic locales, and of course the family dynamics. Even the slightest of stories (like Reed & Ben on Baxter Building pest control duty) still have everything you want from the FF. Near-perfect comic bookery in the Mighty Marvel Manner.
