5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Doom finally gets his due...... June 21, 2007

By C. Costanzo

I was very excited when Marvel and GIT Corp came out with these products. Now instead of collecting every single comic book you can now simply pop in a DVD-rom and get every single issue you could have ever dreamed of!!!
I am a big fan of the Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer comics are simply a throw-in in which I would be happy to take. The Fantastic Four were created so amazingly like a real life family that one must give Stan Lee and Jack Kirby their due. The villains of the FF are unreal starting in issue #1 with the Mole Man and moving on with issue #4 and the Sub-Mariner. The greatest villain of the Marvel universe makes his appearance in issue #5 in the form of Dr. Doom. Doom would go on to be one of the most famous comic book villains of all time ranking up there with the Joker, Lex Luther, Darkseid, and the Green Goblin. (Also remember Star War fans that Darth Vadar's suit was influenced by Doom's). These issues also cover the famous Silver Surfer and Galactus story lines starting in issue #48. There are so many first Marvel appearances in these issues like the Skrulls, Klaw, Black Panther, Negative Zone, Blastaar, Diablo, Pyscho Man, Molecule Man, etc. that the FF simply must go down as one of the most defining comic books ever sold.
This set is amazing and any one who does not want to pay the money for every issue (start saving because thats 750 comics) this is for you!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as online - but you own it September 15, 2008

By mds74213

The Bad: The scans are of old comic books (not the Marvel original artwork) and they include the staple holes! They also include various graffitti such as ink stamps from a local comic book store - surely a better copy could have been found. A comparison between the first Fantastic 4 comic online at Marvel.com and the same comic on DVD shows that the online version is much more vibrant and colorful. A little more work (such as using photoshop to get rid of those damn staple holes) would have made this collection a lot more attractive.

The Good: You own the comics (you can only view, not download, online). You also get the ads from the comic books as they appeared originally - making them a virtual time machine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spendid Time Gauranteed for All June 13, 2010

I thoroughly am enjoying this immense collection of classic comic amazement. Like many old fools I read these early issues at the time of their release and through the foolishness of youth I lost many of them through age, mold and the old school parental habit of their throwing out those "childish comic magazines." Big, Huge Mistake! That said, re-enjoying these in digital format is a time trip and an immensely enjoying immersion in what has become an important Art form of the 20th and 21st century. The transfers are not perfect but in the slight grunginess of the scans they capture the essence of the times. While the original art and feel of the books are the best and while I also highly encourage investing in the Marvel Masterwork book series, this collection allows a close-up perusely and examination of this treasure trove of comic book thrills at an amazingly low price. Also, I have noticed in the reviews, a number of statements regarding the MARVEL WATERMARK on the pages as a detriment to the work. I would agree, however, that WATERMARK is only apparent if you look at the PDFs with MAC PREVIEW program or an old ADOBE READER program. Use the enclosed 7.08 version of ADOBE READER or the latest version 9 Adobe Reader (download is free) and there is NO WATERMARK on the screen. As old man Stan would put it, Enuf Said. Excelsior!
