Fantastic Four Fanfare #1
SCORE: 72
I am not sure how much longer I will be reading the Fantastic Four
comic books. At first I thought this was a mainline Fantastic Four comic
book, then I realized it was a separate series. I am a bit confused why
Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 is a longer comic book. The cost of the
Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 comic book was $5.99. There are three stories
in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1. Advertisements can be found throughout the
Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 comic book.
The first story in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 is ten pages long. The
second story is eleven pages long. The last story in Fantastic Four
Fanfare #1 is ten pages long. That brings the total page count to
thirty-one pages of comic book content. There is an intro/credits page
within Fantastic Four Fanfare #1. There is also a page devoted to the
next issue near the end of the Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 comic book.
Spoilers will be a part of this review.
The first story in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 is about Mole Man dying.
Mole Man has a tumor in his brain that the doctors cannot get to. So Sue
Storm visits him and tells him about understanding monsters. Sue Storm
heals him by using her powers to slip in and destroy the tumor. Sue does
this behind the back of Reed Richards her husband. Sue also talks about
why Mole Man is blind. It might be psychological.
The second story feels like a much older one. Reed and Sue announce they
are pregnant with their first child. I do not know if this was a reprint
or just going back in time and telling an older story. The Circus of
Crime is at the fair the Fantastic Four goes to - to celebrate. Sue
Storm convinces them to leave them alone and give them a night off. The
second story in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 is mainly a lot of couples
talking.
The final story in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1 is Clobbering Time. Again
this feels like an older story that was put into this comic book. Or
maybe it is a reprint. I am not sure one way or the other. Namor is
working with Galactus to fight the Fantastic Four in a wrestling match.
One at a time. Sue Storm is being held hostage. Reed Richards and Johnny
Blaze both lose in Fantastic Four Fanfare #1. Then The Thing gets his
turn and he wins.
