Jim Lee is at the height of his game and popularity when he did this series and what's not to love? Check out the cover below and imagine every single page inside is as gorgeous as this! I know some old loyalists actually made some snarky remarks about this run of the FF ... well that's their loss. I was not a fan of the original FF until sometime near 400 and then this came along and BANG wow was it good!Sure we all know the original tale of how the Four came to be - flying into outerspace and getting bombarded by cosmic rays and what-not and in this retelling of that tale, there is no condensation or decompression. It is told all in one. We are introduced to Sue Storm being equally brainy while her brother Johnny is more into fast cars. Then there is Ben who is the tough guy and buddy of brainy Reed Richards. So one day they all took the rocket into space and crash landed back on earth with all these super powers except for one problem - the moment they crash landed, they encountered the Mole Man and so begins their superhero tale
And the artwork is so gorgeous that I enjoyed it from start to end. So what if the tale is slightly familiar? This is a good intro to the team as far as I am concerned and good for newer readers like me ... a literal jumping on pointRatings: 10/10
