    frijolie's Fantastic Four #580 - The Frank-Tastic Four review

    Synopsis  

    I've never been a huge FF fan but Hickman has been keeping my interest. Uncle Johnny takes the kids to the toy store for a birthday present while Reed stays behind to teach science class. 

    The Good

    The art in this book is excellent. Minute detail has been put on each of the panels. I especially like when the fight scene breaks out in the toy store and the Legos go flying around the store. You can see that each block was carefully drawn and detailed. Wonder how long it took them to draw those panels. 
     
    The story, for the most part, seemed to be filler for something larger down the road. There was a huge cliffhanger at the end of the book--not related to the toy store scenes. I also don't know much about Arcade or Impossible man (besides the fact that they have a striking resemblance to Toy Maker and Martian Manhunter). 
     

    The Bad  

    The Nu-Earth sidetrack. Three-fourths through this issue they have 2 pages of flashbacks of Nu-Earth. Why did they do that? It was completely not a part of the story and, to me, it was a large distraction. 

    Verdict (4.5/5)

    If it weren't for that Nu-Earth stuff I would have given this issue a perfect score. Since it was only two pages I'll only subtract a half point for the minor distraction so this issue earns a 4.5/5.

      Fantastic Four   #580 Hickman has been doing a great job with this title so far.   I think it was nice to continue to set up the main plot while having a little bit of side adventure to keep readers attentions that may have been dissatisfied with the story driven content.   The art in the book is fun and totally suitable for the story.   I didn’t expect or Impossible Man to make an appearance in a FF book, but Hickman made it work. I knew something was up from the beginning though when you see...
