Review: New Fantastic Four #1

New Fantastic Four #1

Marvel has been going “retro” lately exploring concepts, characters, and teams of the past. In some cases, the stories have been just entertaining nostalgia. In others, they’ve added to the previous experience and characters. New Fantastic Four #1 kicks off the latest example of that. We return to the day when Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine teamed up. Why? I honestly don’t remember, it was such a long time ago and I was an FF reader then so didn’t really care. The debut issue doesn’t really remind us why either, instead dropping the reader right into the action as the team must take on a demonic villain.

Peter David returns to the team and for the most part, the comic feels like a retro adventure. There’s something both good and bad about that. The issue would have generally felt at home during the original run as the start of a new arc but one that doesn’t feel like it’s going to deliver much. As I said, some of these types of series have added to the history and characters but so far, this debut just feels like a comic. That’s not necessarily bad and while the comic has its entertaining moments, it also isn’t enough to really excite.

Joining David is Alan Robinson on art. With color by Mike Spicer and lettering by Joe Caramagna, the comic sticks to its classic feel in look as well. Beyond the printing and coloring being modern, the art style feels like it’d fit in well with the past iterations. There’s some fun and funny moments but the comic lacks that punch that one might hope for to excite.

New Fantastic Four #1 isn’t bad but it also doesn’t excite. The best moment involves Spider-Man and the Vulture and then a later joke involving the Vulture. It sets things up nicely but doesn’t do it in a way that you have to read the next issue. It sadly feels like a forgettable spin-off miniseries or a short story arc where you just wait for the next bit thing. Nostalgia is great but we need a bit more than this.

In 1991’s Fantastic Four #347, comic book legends Walter Simonson and Arthur Adams introduced an unforgettable iteration of Marvel’s premier Super Hero team when they teamed up Wolverine, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Hulk as the New Fantastic Four. Though their time as the FF was brief, this unlikely group of heroes left a big impact, and now fans will get to return to this special moment in Marvel history in a new limited series kicking off in May. Written by comics great Peter David and featuring the Marvel Comics debut of artist Alan Robinson, New Fantastic Four will be set shortly after the events of the fan-favorite group’s first appearance, taking readers back to a classic era with a brand-new tale.

Wolverine, Hulk (AKA Joe Fixit), Ghost Rider and Spider-Man have reunited to investigate a surge of violence in Las Vegas. And with demonic masterminds pulling the strings, they’re going to need some extra help… This all-new adventure will feature surprise guest stars aplenty, including the original FF and a series of mystery villains that you’ll never see coming!

Check out Nick Bradshaw’s wraparound cover below featuring the iconic lineup alongside their original counterparts and brace yourself for a wild ride when New Fantastic Four hits stands on May 25.
