Title: Nothing Fantastic
Product review: This book came highly recommended to me, and I have to admit, nothing about it was significant or spectacular.My two immediate conclusions for why this book recieves such rave reviews are fan nostalgia, and that the creators who immediately proceeded Byrne really botched things up.I tend to dislike a book more than I otherwise would when a book fails to live up to high expectations. Unfortunately, this is the case here.Not to say that this is a bad read. It isn't. Byrne is at the top of his game here, and it shows on every page. But modern comics have inevitably eclipsed this material (compare the Fantastic Four vs. Ego to the modernized version of The Authority vs. "God"). Sometimes it's not the novelty of a story that makes it great, but the way it's told.I'll say this: buy this book if, and only if, you are a Fantastic Four completist. Otherwise, you're gonna be walking in on someone else's show.
