Review: Fantastic Four #2

By | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

When Matt Fraction laid out the plans for the two books he would be writing featuring the Fantastic Four and their supporting cast, one of the implicit statements was that you did not need to read both books – “FF” and “Fantastic Four” would be separate entities that would be accessible on their own, even […]
