5.0 out of 5 stars Best FF story ever , Thanks to Chris 'God' Claremont, July 11, 2000

This review is from: Fantastic Four Vs. the X-Men (Paperback)

This mini-serie is as close to perfect storystelling as you can get . The 'Reed's diary plot' is incredible . It seems to me the FF were created only to have this one story told . The Ben Grimm/Thing pages are terrific ,highly emotional . Claremont at his very best . Plus Jon Bogdanove pencils and Terry Austin inks !

5.0 out of 5 stars SKleefeld's Assesment, May 12, 1997

This review is from: Fantastic Four Vs. the X-Men (Paperback)

I have long been a fan of Chris Claremont's stories, and books like this are the reason why. The book provides a beautiful transition for both X-Men fans wishing to learn about the Fantastic Four and FF fans trying to start a knowledge of mutants. This reprints the four issue limited series of the same name and is a tribute to Claremont's excellent ability to capture humanity in the most unlikely characters. Although well-known for his work on X-Men and other mutant books, Claremont has also wonderfully characterized the Fantastic Four showing both their great strength as a group and family as well as their weaknesses of self-doubt and uncertainty

5.0 out of 5 stars What the FF and X-Men should be., June 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fantastic Four Vs. the X-Men (Paperback)

For anyone dissatisfied with Chris Claremont's current work on FF, or thirsting to see some classic Claremont work on both X-Men and the Fantastic Four, read this series. The characterization of both teams is excellent, and Claremont excels at telling an intriguing tale involving the very origin of the Fantastic Four and a vital turning point in the life of Kitty Pryde. Franklin Richards is the focus of this book, and his take on his family and on the plight of Kitty Pryde is fantastic. Read it.
