The plot is paper thin, and most of this is unbelievably daft. But this grabs the idea of a school for super kids run by second choice heroes and really has fun with it.

The FF plan to bring the Fanastic Four back to earth in time to stop Doctor Doom, Kang, and Annihilus from becoming Doom the Annhilating Conqueror. Things don't go as planned...
Matt Fraction and Michael Allred's run on FF ends with a bang. The FF take in Impossible Man's son Adolph, try to bring back the Fantastic Four, and go to war with Doctor Doom. Fraction does a lot to elevate Scott Lang in this volume and goes a long way toward dragging him out of Hank Pym's size-changing shadow.
The battle with Doom was very well done and Doom was true to his scene-chewing self. Fraction's portrayal of The Watcher was also pretty great and I loved the stuff on the blue area of the moon. Ahura stepping up for the war was also a nice touch.
Much like the last volume, this book reads like a modern day love letter to the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby days of the Fantastic Four. It's a damn shame this is the last of Matt Fraction and Mike Allred on FF. It's been a lot of fun. Four out of five stars.

FF is a wacky, out-there story that intently avoids having a serious tone while at the same time presenting the incredibly relevant plot of Scott Lang getting revenge on Doom after he killed Scott's daughter Cassie (in the Children's crusade storyline). A really enjoyable book.

Part of the main shtick of FF (Fantastic Faux) is that it is supposed to be funny. This wasn't very funny. Or sensical. Pieces of this were okay. But too many not very clear characters. And yet it ties in better with the Fantastic Four volume than I expected, considering the craziness of that story-line. But I was hoping for better.

I LOVE the FF and I think Matt Fraction does a really great job with them. The characters are colorful and alive, which is only highlighted by the art. A lot of laugh out loud moments and moments when I was cheering and moments when they broke my heart. A great story about unlikely heroes and finding your family.

I adore this run.
I want Matt Fraction to write crazed dysfunctional/functional families all the time.

again: I genuinely thought I had read this already but I guess I just saw a billion panels of it on Tumblr? it has some very tumble-able panels.
anyway, it's so great and fun and whimsical, I'm so great I finally read it. THERE'S A MICRO-MACRO-TIGER IN IT.

Best line comes from Ant-Man: “We handle things my way. And my way requires robots. Lots of robots.”
I for one like a plan that involves lots of robots.
I am mystified by a lot of what’s going on in these pages, but I do love it when the writers show up.

Not too much in the way of story progression; almost feels as though Fraction's goal is to add as much supporting cast as he possibly can. There's a LOT of characters here and they just keep on coming! Still, combined with the magnificent Allred art this is a book I'm sure I'll read many times over.
