The downfall of the Fantastic Four continues. The Avengers help kick the Fantastic Four out of the Baxter Building and Sue goes ballistic! Ben learns that Johnny botched one of Reed's attempts to make him human and Reed and Johnny lied about it. Ben storms off and by the time Reed catches up with him, it looks like Ben murdered the Puppet Master! Ben winds up on Ryker's Island with a bunch of super-criminals...
Wow. I wonder if James Robinson knew his job was the turn the lights out when he signed on to write the Fantastic Four.
Things are looking grim for the foursome in this outing. The Fantastic Four have been evicted from the Baxter Building. Johnny's going down a self-destructive path. Ben's in the joint after it looked like he killed the Puppet Master. Reed and Sue are living in an experimental community in Michigan. The Future Foundation kids are living at Camp Hammond with the original Human Torch.
It was cool to see Sharon Ventura, aka Ms. Marvel, aka She-Thing again, even though she's a criminal now. I also like that the original Human Torch is in the supporting cast. So who's pulling the strings behind the Fantastic Four's demise? No idea, honestly.
The story and the art are really good. My only gripe is the slow pace but that's my gripe with most modern comics.
I really like James Robinson and Leonard Kirk on the Fantastic Four. Too bad it's their job to pull the plug. Four out of five stars.

I'm not a huge FF fan, but this was good. The FF get beat up, both figuratively and literally, all their stuff gets taken away by SHIELD and they're basically labelled a threat by the government, because every time they save the world they make a big mess and one of Reed's experiments just happened to put an entire city in jeopardy. Add to that the "original sin" part where Ben learns that Johnny messed up his only chance at getting back to normal and then him and Reed lied about it, and you have a hot mess of drama. Now I'm going to have to read more to find out how they recover from all this.

Okay story. Just nothing all that special about it. Just very plot driven. A lot of stuff happens, a lot of followup doesn't. Good enough art and writing. Just not enough focus.

Fantastic Four: Original Sin
4/5 stars
Although the cover was the reason I picked this up that story arc had apparently already happened in the first trade. And considering this is trade 2 in a series there were details that I was lost on...
That being said I was in love with this story. It was dark and depressing and everything just kept shitting on the Fantastic Fours lives and it was addicting.
And that flashback storyline with The Thing had me all up in my feelings.
Honestly, it would've probably been a full out five out of five if I had read the first volume so I guess that's my bad.
