5.0 out of 5 stars Fan Four versus Doom

This was when comics were just fun and easy reading for kids. I lost or had these issues torn up, so it was good to have them all together in one binding. I love Fantastic Four and this was an excellent Dr. Doom story arc. Hope you enjoy it!

And Len Wein, the creator of Swamp Thing, Wolverine, Human Target and others deserves to be read and reread. If this had been the end of the Fantastic Four's adventures, if this had been the end of their run, this story would have been enough. A great work, and one I have waited a long time to see in print.

A solid reprint of one of the milestones of the Fantastic Four series that led to their epic 200th issue where Reed Richards and his arch enemy, Dr. Doom faced off. A good read by numerous creators, including Keith Pollard, who I consider a very underrated artist and one of the FF's best. All of that under a cool Jack Kirby cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overthrowing Comic Book Mediocrity: They Don’t Write ‘Em Like This Anymore… Pity!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2014
I began my comic reading during the “Bronze Age,” so I am very old school and biased when it comes to comics. Having said that, I own all the original issues to this compilation, which depicts one of the Fantastic Four’s many attempts to disband, and how the threat posed by their foremost arch nemesis brings them back together. One note:(possible spoiler to avoid confusion for readers!) One of the subplots in this arc involves Reed Richards regaining his elastic powers after having inexplicably lost them.

This collection may not be the most “fantastic” adventure the foursome has undergone, and any ‘current’ fans of the FF may find it a little hard to get worked up over an adventure that is obviously ‘dated,’ with much of it having been retconned by this point. However, the dramatic and suspenseful storytelling of the final book segment should satisfy those who appreciate a good story with strong characters.

This bronze-age reprinted run offers something that comicbook runs of the contemporary serialized fashion no longer offer: each book-length sequence of this collection seems to have a beginning, middle and end, complete from beginning exposition to battle-filled climax. Although the overall story arc depicts a physically estranged team that finds their way back together, each individual story offers climactic action—often with a self-contained villain. The serialized comic writing of today often drags on for several issues before reaching any kind of a climax. But each of these stories offers something exciting and unexpected while still moving along its grander and wider top story.

This is a pleasant blast from the past, and well worth reading for fans of good old-fashioned comicbook storytelling.

3.0 out of 5 stars 70s Supervillain Insanity
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
I’ve been reading along with <a href="http://www.thefantasticast.com/">The Fantasticast</a>, and I hit another section I own! This collection contains the first real climax of the <i>Fantastic Four</i> since while issue #50 was excellent, it was more focused on big ideas than the team itself. 100 was a stupid beat-em-up. 150’s crossover with the <i>Avengers</i> was cool, but the entire team wasn’t even together. This set begins right after the team breaks up, and builds toward a reintegration and confrontation with Doom. It’s coming off a brief run by Len Wein that I really enjoyed for the most part, and in this collection, the Len Wein and George Perez issue was my favorite (and not even the best of Wein/Perez). Unfortunately, the storyline itself spins its wheels far too much. It’s another escape-capture-escape-capture storyline, which happened a lot in the seventies. I’ve seen people defend this by saying that kids these days just don’t get the classic seventies writing. If so, why did I enjoy Wein and much of the end of Thomas? To be fair, it might be that I find Doom’s characterization to be too insane and erratic. He ‘s just too similar the pre-Claremont Magneto. Anyway, here are my issue-by-issue reviews:

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #192 ⧫ 3.5 Stars
This is the silly, fun issue after the rather dramatic break-up of the team. I really enjoy Johnny and the return villain, even if he’s totally obscure. I’m a little sad we didn’t get more Wyatt, but he sure is more relevant than the last few issues of <i>Marvel Two-in-One</i> he was in. I really like Rebecca Rainbow, and I’m sad Len Wein leaves the book in a few issues because I’d rather have seen more of her than the next few guest stars. I really enjoyed this issue, and I think it was a good send-off to George Perez.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #193 ⧫ 3 Stars
The uninspired Darkoth the Death Demon returns from <i>Fantastic Four</i> issues 142-144 to receive a lame retcon. Diablo shows up to get defeated due to his ego: spoilers? Really, the villains are the worst part. Ben and Alicia’s relationship is good, and that ending cliffhangers is stunning. Pollard gives a great show on his first issue.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #194 ⧫ 2 Stars
The shocking secret of the death demon is really boring. This is a fighty fight issue with a focus on the boring villains. It’s probably the low point of the book. Not awful, but not interesting.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #195 ⧫ 2.5 Stars
The first ever Sue issue starts with her pissed off at the Impossible Man and needing Reed… It does move on to some better character stuff with Namor and Sue. Plus, Sue gets to kick butt. However, it’s against some really lame villains, and I just didn’t feel like the Namor stuff went anywhere. Enh, it’s a wash.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #196 ⧫ 2.5 Stars
All the stuff with the group wandering around L.A. is fun, but the Invincible Man stuff was lame, not to mention the capture, escape, capture formula at the end. I like the way the Doom stuff is shaping up, but I hope it gets better than this.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #197 ⧫ 3 Stars
Okay, this is way overwritten, but the art is pretty good. It has some really cool moments, and some real headscratchers. So, it’s a mixed bag, but I think it comes off as more interesting and fun than the last three, managing to have some solid Reed moments. Just ignore the Red Ghost and Reed’s inconsistent mental control (Is he mind controlled or not? We will never know).

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #198 ⧫ 2 Stars
Reed invades Latveria! Only to be captured again… This storyline spins its wheels for this issue and the next when it could be characterizing Doom’s son to establish the most interesting part of either of these issues. The way Reed starts his invasion starts well, but after he meets up with Zorba, everything becomes stuff that has been in the book before. At least the art is good.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #199 ⧫ 2.5 Stars
The only really good thing here is the idea of two sides of Doom. If this story weren’t dealing with raving supervillain Doom, then the idea of his nobility vs. his pride would be really amazing. As this story is, it’s a minor point in between the Four escaping and getting captured… again.

<i>Fantastic Four</i> #200 ⧫ 3 Stars
As I said at the start, 200 is the first real climax the series had. Wolfman really does succeed in forging the desperate struggle of Reed versus Doom. Sadly, it fails in just about everything else. The rest of the Four get precious little to do. Doom’s plan is shockingly stupid, literally foiled by the push of a button. Zorba and his revolution go against much of what we’ve seen in Latveria before. We don’t even really see the Four get any repercussions for this. However, the art is great and really gives weight and urgency to Reed’s struggle. An unhinged Doom, as much as I dislike the characterization, is a credible threat and mostly feels it.

In my head, the Doom in these pages is a Doombot. This collection is a very mixed bag with some weak villains leading into an overly generic take on one of Marvel’s greatest villains. It’s worth a read for fans, but this is far from Wolfman’s best work. It is well-bound with beautiful glossy pages. However, it's really only recommended for die-hard Fantastic Four fans or fans of 70s Marvel comics.
