216. Fantastic Four Season One ... Marvel ...

So ... you may be wondering why I am doing a second review from Season One after that bad, bad, bad experience, eh? Well, this is called buying everything when it was on discount. Hahaha!

Once more, the cover sucks with its weak-ass colouring and too-weak line work but oddly enough for the FF, the interiors are generally acceptable and even gorgeous especially the way they drew the Thing. Even the new take on the story is interesting

Here we have the same dynamics of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben except that they are generally more cynical and aware of what's going around them rather than their original counterparts from the 60s that was more wide-eyed, gollygoshgeee style

Example: We see Reed and Sue as a couple but nowhere is Sue near his intellectualism ... and he naturally has as a lab partner Alyssa Moy ... and she naturally feels insecure ... while lunching and gossiping with her mates whose idea is to walk down the aisle ...

And then there's Johnny who may love the high life but knew his limitations as that of only a mechanic

And finally we love the bit about Ben when he was first transformed into the Thing and how he did a walk-through in his mind of what would happen with Reed feeling guilty and making lots of promises ... so true and exactly as what would normally happen in today's cynical worlds

And what about the bad guys, you ask?

Well we have the Mole Man (naturally) but it was not so much a bad guy because here the storyline wrapped up nicely ... and then there's Namor ... and Doom lurking in the background ... so enough villains and thrills eh?
