The Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four book is very good! Brandon Choi, Jim Lee, and Scott Williams who are the creative team on WildCats revamped Fantastic Four for Marvel comic's Heroes Reborn project! Jim Lee draws the first six issues and Brett booth and Ron Lim draw the last six issues. Jim Lee's art is breath taking! The way Jim Lee draws Fantastic Four & Avengers is wonderful! He draws Namor very well! The Marvel characters, Wyatt Wingfoot, Mole man, Super Skrull, Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer also play a part in Heroes Reborn. I recommend it if You like Jim lee art and Fantastic Four comics!A++

This book has been hyped as the "best of the Heroes Reborn" books, featuring artwork and "plotting" by Jim Lee. If so, I think I will skip the other Heroes Reborn books (all of which failed after an initial surge in sales). The artwork is not Jim Lee's best (sorely missing the inking of X-Men collaborator Art Thibert) and the writing is astonishingly bad.
Marvel followed up on the concept of updating their classic characters with the highly successful (and fanboy approved) Ultimate universe a few years later. If you're looking for a fresh take on the FF, I would recommend checking out Ultimate Fantastic Four, Vol. 1.

In the mid-90's, Marvel decided to conclude their much maligned Onslaught storyline with the deaths of many of their top tier heroes. The Fantastic Four, Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of the Avengers, all bought the big one as their respective titles were canned and re-launched with a new direction (allegedly) as Marvel teamed up with Wildstorm (before they became part of DC) to produce some new takes on old stories. Many fans weren't exactly thrilled with this chain of events, and the Fantastic Four books ended up being the best of the Heroes Reborn lineup. Spotlighted by Jim Lee's artwork, Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four finds Marvel's first family tackling with Dr. Doom, Namor, the Mole Man, and the list of usual suspects in a more modern setting. The storyline isn't anything we haven't seen plenty of times before, but it's not bad considering, and Lee's fantastic (no pun intended) artwork makes this TPB worth checking out alone. If you're a FF fanatic, you'll want to pick this up for completist reasons alone, or if you're a Lee fan, you'll want to check this out too.

4 stars for the Jim Lee wonderful drawings, with a lot of color, action, powerful characters: super-heroes and vilains.
There is a high contrast between the present times marvel comics and jim lee's. Action, super powers, vilains, color, humour, dynamic story, are all present in Jim Lee's comics. We don't find this anymore today, but only thriller, "grey universe", violence, and... no action along the pages.
A great story for a great pleasure
