For Fantastic Four fans

If you're a fan Fantastic Four fan, then you might like this book. Fantastic Four Ultimate Guide covers every data on the Fantastic Four, ranging from their history, sagas, storylines, powers and abilites, character bios, and more. My favorite tihng about it was the pictures. It does have superb artwork. It even has a forward by Stan Lee who is one of the creators of Fantastic Four and other favorites such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk and other Marvel characters. However, I believe they should now publish a new edition of FF Ultimate Guide. They've already done that for Superman, Batman, X-Men and Spider-Man. One part of this book reads that Johnny Storm after temporarily becoming Invisible Boy defeated Galactus, turning him back into Galen and sent him back to his universe. However this has been undone and Galactus has now become Galactus again and roams the universe. There's more to be added as well. Fantastic Four Ultimate Guide belongs in any bookshelf and is great for anyone who collects Marvel and/or DC. It would make a superb gift. I just hope someday we can see a new edition just as we have for others.

World's Greatest Book About the World's Greatest Comic Magazine!

I really enjoyed this. I had only been a middling fan of the F.F. over the years, but Mr. DeFalco's book gave me a much better appreciation of the richness of the F.F. and their world, and of how "cosmic" the team can be when it's being written well. It gives a very nice summary of the team's whole history. I particularly got a kick out of the family trees for the Richards, Storm, and Grimm families, and seeing where folks like Nathaniel Richards, Huntara, Hyperstorm, and Aunt Petunia fit in. The illustrations are gorgeous, and are taken from every period of the comic's history.
