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

By	C. Costanzo "Napbark" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 - See all my reviews

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 Great Collection but Unfair, July 25, 2007

By	R. C. Clark - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're a Marvel fan, these collections are a godsend. Collecting on DVD what would take years and thousands of dollars to collect in comic format is a boon to the reader, and that is who is truly benefitting from these collections. The only issue keeping this from being a five star collection is the annoying habit of representing material which is on a previously released DVD collection. The collected FF was released two years ago and now it has been re-released (including an additional year's worth of books) with the Silver Surfer in this collection. I understand this was timed for the release of the second FF movie but this release is unfair to those of us who purchased the original FF collection. In my opinion, the loyal Marvel fan would have been better served had the Silver Surfer been released in a compilation of cosmic titles (Captain Marvel, Nova, Quasar, etc.). Does anyone out there want a copy of First 44 Years of Fantastic Four on DVD?!?
