3-1/2 stars. I consider volumes 3, 6 & 7 in this series to be about average to slightly above average in quality. This is the Return of Phoenix/ birth of X-Factor paperback; it's the thinnest edition in this series, yet issue 286 is really good. There are only six issues here, but four are bigger than average, with between 30-42 pages each.
It's content is split evenly, with the Phoenix storyline being in the 2nd part. Since Phoenix, or Jean Grey, is clearly the highlight here, I'll ... Read More

A highly entertaining part of John Byrne's Fantastic Four run, from influential stories such as the Skrulls losing their shapeshiftin ability, in a crossover with the Avengers in super cheesy fun space adventure:
"I, Zabyk, shall soon unleash upon an unsuspecting galaxy the ower of my hyperwave bomb--the power that will make me Master Of the Universe!"
To poignant tales of a little boy that wants to be The Human Torch, to the recovery of Jean Grey's body deep underwater many years ... Read More

Not only is this volume smaller than the previous ones but it also contains an Avengers Annual (OK, it's drawn by Byrne), X-Factor #1, an Avenger tie-in with the resurrection of Phoenix episode of the FF. It's nice to have the storyline continuity but Marvel is too stringy on what the customers expect: the Fantastic Four as seen by Byrne. Only 2 issues and 1 annual of the FF. It's not what I'd call a 'vision'. It's more of a 'peep'.

OK, I love this series, but really, only TWO issues of Byrne's Fantastic Four proper? I can see reprinting the Avengers issues because they are tied in to the storylines, but reprinting X-Factor #1, which is only loosely linked to the Fantastic Four at all, is a total waste of paper in this volume. It's called "Visionaries - John Byrne," not "and whatever random tie-ins we can stuff into these volumes."
