Review: This volume collects the stories from Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #1-5, Dark Reign: The Cabal, Fantastic Four #570-588, and FF #1-5. This is the start of a run by a new creative team, who manage to capture the spirit of the Lee & Kirby original while setting it in the ultra-modern world, and they do so with great skill and style. We can be looking at a group of parallel-dimensional Reed Richardses carrying out surgery on a star one minute, while we are sitting at the breakfast table in the Baxter Building the next. The team manage to mix family life with interdimensional adventuring, giving us a look into the childhood of Reed Richards, and seeing how it enables him to remain human, and empathise with his children and the many `orphans' they have come across in their adventures; and we also see a number of seeds being planted for future storylines. I first read these stories in paperback collections in my local libraries, but I was so impressed with the quality that I bought this omnibus (and have ordered the second volume). These stories are why the Fantastic Four is still called The World's Greatest Comic Magazine.

Review: Before I bought this, I had a very limited knowledge of the Fantastic Four. I knew what their powers were, and how they got them, but that was pretty much it. After reading this collection of comics they have cemented themselves in my top 3 favorite comic-book heroes. There are some very compelling stories with great character moments sprinkled in (The scene with Spidey and Franklin is great). I only subtract a star for two reasons. Firstly, the artwork at times is sub-par, especially all of the children's faces. They all have an uncanny-appearance. Secondly, the middle-third of the story can be a bit hard to follow without using a Marvel wiki. The Nu-World plot has a lot of B and C-list characters that I have not heard of. Despite that, however, I still strongly recommend this to anyone who is interested in the Fantastic Four.
