Also known as 'Ultimate Fantastic Four: Will it Blend?'.
Millar deftfully poaches the key elements from the previous plot-lines (Doctor Doom! Zombies!), drops in a few more genre standards (Time travel! Lovecraftian Elder Gods! Body swapping!) and hits 'puree'.
Although the resulting paste would be fodder for a dozen graphic novels, Millar crams it into a single, whirlwind adventure written for ferrets on speed. This disaster is especially jarring because of the lovely, ... Read More

The Marvel Zombies main story is a fantastic "what if?" situation with very little background as to how anything happened. "Frightful", however, doesn't really help explain where the virus comes from but does give the full background story of the Fantastic Four portal talked about in the main story and introduces the Skrull civilization and their purpose on earth. This story was at times a little difficult to follow. I found myself turning back to previous pages in hopes of finding a little more ... Read More

Even by comic book standards, it strains my sense of verisimilitude. And while Reed Richards ... Read More

Will Reed Richards ever find a way to turn the Thing back into plain ol' Ben Grimm?
You might think he had better things to do with his time, but all it really takes is a few heartfelt tears and a Carmen Miranda costume, and Reed is ready to go back in time and stop the experiment that turned the Fantastic Four into super-powered heroes. Unfortunately, without that little mishap, a greater one will occur, this one involving the space-faring Skrulls and the death of the entire human race. ... Read More

This was a really fun read -- the Ultimate FF series has definitely hit its stride here, with an action-packed story arc that encompasses Doc Doom, the Skrulls, time travel and a high-power smackdown with those pesky undead doppelgangers who snuck in from Robert Kirkman's "Marvel Zombies" universe. This is superhero stuff the way I remember it: fun, funny, entertaining, elegantly crafted but not all pretentious... Just a good old time for all. I particularly liked the portrayal of Latveria as a Oktoberfest ... Read More
