    This is my short, spoiler-free review. For a longer review with spoilers, read: https://alkony.enerla.net/english/the-nexus/arts/graphic-novel-review/fantastic-four-life-story-1-6-graphic-novel-series-marvel-universe-marvel-comics-2021-2022-graphic-novel-review-kadmon

    I didn't know anything about the Life Story series, when I've found the first Fantastic Four: Life Story issue. As I've recently read the latest incarnation of the Fantastic Four series, I thought I'd give this a try, especially as I don't usually read FF stories, giving me a chance to getting to know them better.

    The Fantastic Four: Life Story graphic novel series is about scientists trying to prevent a catastrophe they've foreshadowed.

    The story (by Mark Russel) is good and consistent. There are some character arcs. If you accept the premise, there are no major logical problems.

    The graphics are fine, although I wouldn't say the scenes are visually interesting. The characters are recognisable. The action scenes are easy to follow.

    The main characters are well developed, we get plenty of information about their life, although we don't get to know their past. The side characters and the antagonists don't get as much development. I feel that the writer wants to build on the previously published stories, hoping that the reader knows them well enough so they don't need here any introductions.

    Fantastic Four: Life Story is an interesting sci-fi / fantasy series, I think fans of the Fantastic Four will enjoy it.

    In this issue, the story goes forward, although it's a bit slower than previous issues. There are some twists.

    My experience

    I was mostly satisfied with Fantastic Four: Life Story (2021-2022). I like it when they take some old stories and improve them, and Fantastic Four: Life Story did just that.
