Summary

Legendary artist Neal Adams illustrates his first ever full-length Fantastic Four story - and FF legend Mark Waid is back to join him! An unstoppable meteor of unknown origin has just erupted from hyperspace - and unless the Fantastic Four can keep it from hitting Manhattan, millions will die! But worse is yet to come。 Galactus has vanished - and only he has the power to defeat his Negative Zone equivalent, the mysterious Antithesis! The Silver Surfer leads Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny on a mad race across the galaxy in search of the World-Eater - but if they fail, desperate times may call for desperate measures。 Cosmic rays gave them their powers - but what will the Power Cosmic do to the FF?! Plus: two classic tales by Waid and Adams!

A fun classic kind of story。 The kind that the FF goes to space and come back after a few pages。 Nothing on the horizon but fans might enjoy the ride despite the weak titular vilain。

When the Silver Surfer arrives on earth, near death, the Fantastic Four find themselves up against a new threat in Antithesis!When this was solicited, I was on the heels of reading Mark Waid's Fantastic Four run and hungry for more。 The Neal Adams was just icing on the cake, I thought。It pains me to give this two stars but it was only okay。 The story was adequate, I guess。 Galactus is stripped of his power and tossed into the Negative Zone by Anthesis, another cosmic being that imbues planets wi When the Silver Surfer arrives on earth, near death, the Fantastic Four find themselves up against a new threat in Antithesis!When this was solicited, I was on the heels of reading Mark Waid's Fantastic Four run and hungry for more。 The Neal Adams was just icing on the cake, I thought。It pains me to give this two stars but it was only okay。 The story was adequate, I guess。 Galactus is stripped of his power and tossed into the Negative Zone by Anthesis, another cosmic being that imbues planets with his life force and enslaves them。 It sounds interesting but from there it's a paint by numbers Fantastic Four story。 Reed's ignoring his family in favor of science, Ben and Johnny bicker, and there's some technobabble solution。 Apart from a twist at the end, I'm already forgetting the details。 Like most of today's comics, it felt like an issue and a half of story stretched across four。Neal Adams is pushing 80 but still put out some good artwork in this。 Sure, I hate the way he draws Ben Grimm and it seems like he had trouble maintaining a consistent look for Johnny but he's still a damn fine artist。 I thought the color detracted from the artwork, though, and the story would look better in black and white。 The volume is padded by an X-Men issue drawn by Adams and the first issue of Waid's Fantastic Four run。 It is what it is。The enlarged size of Fantastic Four: Antithesis didn't do much to make it a more engaging story。 Two out of five stars。 。。。more

Neal Adams drew the heck out of this。 It’s cool seeing his approach to these characters。

I really liked it, but I don’t think it’s for everyone。This was very much a tribute to silver age Fantastic Four。 The art was by Neal Adams, and it was awesome。。。 but definitely not contemporary looking。 It’s a good read if you want to revisit campy, fun, old school Marvel。 Strong Lee/Kirby vibes。The art looked amazing on these bigass treasury edition pages。 Definitely a nice way to spend 30 min。

This was。。。 fine, I suppose, but it’s hard not to be disappointed when you get a book that’s just OK from two creators who are such giants in their fields。 Not bad but definitely a far cry from Waid and Adams’ best work。Oh, and BOY does Neal Adams draw a fugly Ben Grimm。。。 sheeesh!My next book: The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras This was。。。 fine, I suppose, but it’s hard not to be disappointed when you get a book that’s just OK from two creators who are such giants in their fields。 Not bad but definitely a far cry from Waid and Adams’ best work。Oh, and BOY does Neal Adams draw a fugly Ben Grimm。。。 sheeesh!My next book: The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras 。。。more

I'm reading all four issues in one。 All in all I like the story and the art。 Waid does what he does。 It's a good solid with FF and Galctus/Galen fighting an anti-version。 Sure Adams has been better。 But he is a legend in his own。 Only his Thing looks kind of strange from time to time。 His mouth is twisted and ape-like。 And Galan looks asian with a Fu Manchu moustache。 I'm reading all four issues in one。 All in all I like the story and the art。 Waid does what he does。 It's a good solid with FF and Galctus/Galen fighting an anti-version。 Sure Adams has been better。 But he is a legend in his own。 Only his Thing looks kind of strange from time to time。 His mouth is twisted and ape-like。 And Galan looks asian with a Fu Manchu moustache。 。。。more

I am a big Fantastic Four fan, but this story was just too out there for me。 Not out there in a good way where my mind was blown but out there in the makes-no-sense kind of way。
