Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Another Fantastic Look Through Time
Marvel Comics provides another great look at the early years of the Fantastic Four. It is a black and white collection of issues 21- 40, along with FF Annual #2. These comics were originally published in the 1960s.

As these stories are almost five decades old, they provide a fascinating insight into another time. The reader will soon notice that many men are wearing hats. A style of dress that is clearly outs of sync with today's fashions. In addition, many of the reporters ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Typical sequel...
As some other reviewers have commented, this second volume of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine doesn't come close to the first. Stan Lee hammers home the bickering elements of Marvel's First Family and the "O, woe is me" element of the Thing. Plus, Reed always seems to have a gadget lying around to save the day. You can tell that Lee was starting to get overworked by this stage of Marvel's development, though I know when I get volume three, I'll see some of the really good stuff!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - HULK vs. THING-'nuff said
While this issue also contains many great classics such as the introduction of the Frightful Four,a fab X-Men crossover and a couple great Dr. Doom tales,it proudly re-produces the greatest comic-story ever told. FF#25 is,in my opinion,the greatest fight ever produced by the twin towers of Lee & Kirby(I, by the way have,over the years,read every issue of all Avengers,Spiderman,FF,Thor,Hulk,X-Men...all the way down to Dazzler,Spiderwoman and even (ouch) Eternals,titles marvel has come out with, as ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lee/Kirby build a legend
This book has better plotted stories than the 1st "Essential FF". However, the idea of the group fighting/breaking up recurs too many times as a plotline. Other than that, we get several excellent Dr. Doom stories-his origin and the "Battle of the Baxter Building" are classics. The Baxter Building story has a poignant moment when Reed Richards must decide whether to turn Ben Grimm back into the Thing (possibly forever). The Hate Monger, in his 1st appearance is a very provacative character for ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great stories, ok format.
The Marvel Essential series of books leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. While I love the stories, think it's great that we get twenty issues reprinted per volume, and can't deny that the price is right, there is always the spectre of the superior Marvel Masterworks series hanging overhead.

Here are the facts: With the Essential series you get about twenty comics reprinted in a paperback format, with black and white artwork, on what seems to be pulpy acidic paper.

The Masterworks ... Read More
