Fantastic Four: The End

Alan Davis

This is the last story of the FF, so all bets are off and anything can happen in this story. That's what attracts me about this type of story. They can do things that would never be allowed in a regular series.
 
The story starts with a bang, the last battle with Doom where the group suffers the biggest loss. After that there is a time jump which bring us to the new status quo of the entire solar system, all thanks to Reed.
 
There are many elements at play here, Alan Davis obviously wanted to cram as many classic FF characters as he could, as well the rest of the Marvel U. This story's scope is big.
 
Unfortunately all these elements don't really mesh together well, it seems implausible that they all happen at the same time. I thought there'd be a unifying thread, but there isn't.
 
That being sad I did enjoy each story thread on its own, and I obviously loved learning about the new status quo. The end feels a bit sappy, but I did feel for Sue. I thought that part was very well done.
 
The art is obviously gorgeous to look at. Davis doesn't pull any punches here. There is plenty to admire here. If I had a criticism is that at times it feels too crowded, too much color and not enough focus.
 
Still, I enjoyed this story for what it was.
