This book deals with progressive ideas really well. More than that, it felt overly preachy on the part of Fraction. Then the Bentley Wittman story with The Wizard looking to create his own nuclear family was just plain dull. Doom’s too serious a villain for Fraction’s comedic FF and the whole killing thing sticks out awkwardly. Johnny Storm from the future says they have to kill Doom but the storyline doesn’t advance much in this book and there’s nothing about it that I really want to read. The Doom storyline isn’t particularly interesting. Where I think the book falls down is twofold. It allows him the freedom to do done-in-one issue stories like the She-Hulk date or Darla having her concert sabotaged by the Yancy Street Gang, both really fun stories, and it’s these issues that make the book worth reading – that and Mike Allred’s art! Like his companion series Fantastic Four, Matt Fraction’s FF is episodic – almost sit-com-ish – in its approach and it works really well. In this first FF-only volume (the first three issues of Marvel NOW! FF were collected together with the first three issues of Fantastic Four), She Hulk goes on a date with old flame Wyatt Wingfoot Johnny Storm from the future wreaks havoc in New York, and Bentley Wittman aka The Wizard tries to disrupt the FF family through mind-controlling Medusa. The FF, or Future Foundation, are: Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Medusa, Queen on the Inhumans, Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk, and Darla Deering aka Ms. With the Fantastic Four on their great space adventure, the FF have stayed behind to look after Earth in their stead.
