It's cool to see Jim Lee's artwork and his interpretation of the Fantastic Four, but the story (and, ugh, the dialog) is straight out of Stan Lee's overworked toolbox. What good is having Jim Lee draw a book if you're going to cover his art with lots of dialog boxes and other words? A good graphic novel is that sweet balance of words and pictures, but this one has too much of the former.
I was not impressed with Marvel's attempt at a relaunch of many of it's main titles. The art was Ok and the stories were not horrible but I just couldn't seem to get into the flow of the new series. I will give it a Recommended as it's a good read just not to my taste.
The Heroes Reborn series reprints a good attempt one-year effort to re-imagine essential characters in the Marvel Comics universe. This represents the first time Marvel attempted to restart and modernize storylines launched by Stan Lee in the '60s. The storyline weaves through three other Heroes Reborn titles (Iron Man, Captain America, and The Avengers), so readers must have access to all four to keep pace with and appreciate the scope of these titles. Demands to introduce more and more charact...
Decent start, but confusing ending. Maybe because I was only reading this book and none of the other three Heroes Reborn titles.
This starts out as a fun reimagining of the FFs origins, but soon becomes something of a chore. Plus it’s sad to see they didn’t include the crossover issues nor any of the issue 13s!
The story of the Heroes Reborn begins with the Fantastic FourPROS-nice art-okay storyCONS-to much like the regular fan 4 story. I want something different
Heroes Reborn, ossia il tentativo malriuscito di far rilanciare i principali personaggi Marvel dalla Image. Non che fossa una cosa semplice da fare, per carità. Nel complesso Jim Lee non se l'è cavata troppo male. Nel senso che la sua idea di rinarrare le origini del volo dei F4 attualizzando i personaggi è certamente più che sufficiente a livello di disegni, ma l'ho trovata carente come trovata.Il ritmo è molto veloce nei primi sei numeri e sembra quasi che Lee sia partito con l'idea di rinarra...
This was actually a departure for me. Previously, the only knowledge I'd had of the Fantastic Four had been the films. And, honestly, the only thing I remember about those is how often Chris Evans walked around naked/half naked/in skintight clothing. Let's face it, that's pretty much the only thing any of us really got out of those films.So, having never read FF comics before, I think these were okay, not amazing. Doom was OTT, but he's Doom, so that's expected. I did like how the Inhumans were
Read all 4 Heroes Reborn graphic novels at the same time, in continuity order.Between Jim Lee's amazing art, and the complex storylines found within (origin story, encounters with Doom, and the wonderful story with the Inhumans, etc.) This Volume of Heroes Reborn was my favorite.Recommend.
A real mixed bagLovely Jim Lee art for the first few issues but this disappears after a while and the overly verbose writing style begins to grate. The story is basically a rehash of Stan and Jack fantastic four tales. Leaves you understanding why the originals are still the greatest. But the Jim Lee art is lovely 😀
A great retelling of the origins of the Fantastic Four. The only good thing that came out of the Heroes Reborn story line.
Pensaba que sería un buena forma de empezar a leer a los 4F, pero vaya decepción.Historia muy aburrida y mala, y encima con unos diseños feísimos. Creo que no hay nada más hortera que los superhéroes de los 90.
Though this is probably my favourite series from Heroes Reborn, it still didn't do too much for me. There is some nice artwork and the very beginning, when the origin story is being set up, is quite good; however, everything after that feels rushed and a little ADHD. No tension or suspense, very choppy bare-bones storytelling, it really just feels like point-form plot-points. You do get to meet a lot of villains along the way, though.... just not in-depth. Just standard stuff.3/5
If you're wondering how DC comics could be doing so poorly, look no further than the work of Jim Lee. Idk how they put someone this untalented in charge of the creative department of a company
A Fantastic Four reboot from the very beginning. They meet Moleman, Doctor Doom, and the silver surfer for the first time. Or do they? Not a bad reboot but the flashes of the real universe keeps the reader wondering what is actually going on. An ok, if action packed read.
Its hard to say if this book could have been better if it had more time....the art looks nice and it's certainly a lot more stable creatively than the books that Rob Liefeld was running. However, it didn't have much time, so it comes across as a rushed, chaotic group of stories, with no real connective tissues or sense of who these characters are.
Most of you have probably heard about Heroes Reborn. Some of you probably lived through it. As a child of the 90s, at the time I was the target audience for the relaunch. So it's interesting for me to return to it as an adult and see how boring and dragged out it is.After the Onslaught storyline, Marvel decided to let a number of creators (who had previous left a few years earlier for creator owned careers at Image Comics) have full control over some of the main lines for a year. The two that ar...
GREAT Art!Really weak story.The reboot is just not great, although it is brilliantly illustrated.The characters do not feel like fresh invarnations, they are almost parodical versions of the main characters.The “Ultimate” Universe is substantially better at giving an updated re-invention of the Marvel Universe.
