The Fantastic Four do some sort of time-travel thing to fix Ben, but it backfires and the world goes to shit thanks to the Skrulls.
The Frightful Four, the FF's zombie counterparts from an alternate universe, are working on escape and taunting the residents of the Baxter Building while they do it. It's ridiculous that they don't just incinerate them in that stupid containment room.
And last but not least, Victor blackmails Reed into a mind swap, but things don't turn out the way Doom hopes they will.
Because evil never wins, kids.
Another pretty cool volume of Ultimate FF.

This was a pretty cool volume!
It starts with the F4 trying to save Ben from becoming The thing and well time travel goes wrong and we see a world where Thor is president but how the Skrulls aved this world and all but they have their own motives and well Ben being the only non powered one left after the genocide faces off against Super-skrull and goes back in time to warn others of things to come and its epic the way it ends and how Ben realizes he has to be the thing else.. This flash-point kinda story was fun and I love the way Millar does it and shows what loss the world will have without Ben and cool re-interpretation of Super-skrull. A fun time travel gone wrong story .
And then we finally have the big story with the threat of the Zombie F4 and how they escape and wanna infect this world and also Dr Doom and what he did, his infecting Johnny using some sorcery and strange things with Reed and when these all comes together, what he does and that was such a cool moment and Millar gives Doom such an epic leave and story and the F4 amassive victory and showing the sacrifices Reed will go to, to save his family. Its one of the best F4 stories I have read and its awesome and the art is cool too for the most part so yeah there's that! Great reading overall and one of the better volumes of F4!

Great book. Millar weaves several story lines together from the zombified FF to Doom’s return to a time travel adventure. Yes, the plots are resolved fairly quickly, but they are still fun escapades that fully entertain. Land’s art is rather hit or miss with me, guess too many look alike beautiful women begins to get stale after a while. Overall, though, I’m enjoying the series again after the first two volumes were fairly meh for me.

A fun ride with Skrulls, Zombies and Timey-Wimey action. This is probably the most fun I've had with this version of the FF since the first volumes, and the art served the story well (still disturbed by Sue and Johnny's Sarah Palin lookalike Mom, but whatever, it was the mid-2000s...)

Any story that relies on the characters being suicidally stupid, for no particular reason, is not one I can get behind. Most of this book wouldn't have happened if the military who run the Baxter Building had done the sensible thing and incinerated the zombie FF where they stood. They didn't because... I honestly don't know. Reed objected, because of course he did, but why wasn't he patted on the head before they just did it anyway? There's no reason given, because there's no reason possible.

What can I say? I've always been a sucker for the Frightful Four, in any combination!

Score: 3.5 out of 5
Grade: 70% (B-) | Frightfully Good
I'll fill you in on a secret; I'm doing all this reading at work! (Shhh, don't tell anyone.)
Between the first half, President Thor, and the second half, Frightful, I was definitely a bigger fan of the second half. But I just can't get over how dumb everyone was - Skrulls forgetting how their powers work and military men falling for a zombified Invisible Woman making her zombie crew invisible... These "smart" moments felt so dumb because they were so obvious.

When this Millar run came out I read it gleefully, loving how Millar’s bag of edgelord tricks took the decency of the FF and tried so desperately to up antes when throwing zombies and an overpowered Namor at the screen.
And shock value has some play when written to the expectations of old-time readers who had certain expectations of these characters locked in their “always take the high road” straitjackets.
But it fades pretty quickly, leaving you feel empty and demanding the ideas build to an ever-higher crescendo. Which Millar fails to do. It’s like once the zombies have eaten someone, what’s left except “what if they retained their minds and were EVIL versions of themselves?”
Book six, the latter half of Millar’s brief stop in Sincerity Town, probably cribbing some plots from better comics and movies, at least gave us a minor worry that we didn’t know how Reed would get out of this mess - but instead of Reed outsmarting Doom, we inexplicably endure Yeah, that’s the million dollar arm and the ten-cent brain at work. This is the brains behind Netflix’ Millarworld eh? They deserve each other.
Not to mention pairing these stories with Greg Land’s devotion to collage (I’m sorry, I mean “layouts inspired by his favourite dozen poses and clipart“) and tracing (apologies, “facial expressions pulled from only the finest spank bank that Greg’s mom didn’t delete off his hard drive”). Talk about the inartful leading the terrible.
Turn of the Century comics, glad we’ve grown beyond you.

(Read in 2007, review from 2024)
Read this one in middle school while in my Fantastic 4 period. Read this towards the tail end of my time reading Ultimate Marvel. This was a solid enough read for Ultimate Marvel. Volume opens with a fun time travel and Skrull story which besides a few issues (weird how Ben Grimm is literally the only human that doesn't want super powers) was still fun.
The more intreresting part was the conclusion to the zombie FF storyline. Reed-in-Doom's body was neat as was Doom's sacrifice. Just fun FF content all around.

My Ultimate Year #15
Could it be that Millar is climbing out of adolescence? I actually forgot he wrote the first arc for a while. Loved the first story, president Thor 1-3, and the payoff at the end was great. The second story was a pretty good “time to solve the problem of the zombie FF” tale.

June 28, 2019This was actually really good. Better than Millar’s first six issues at any rate. It’s two stories again, an alternate reality yarn and the return of Marvel zombies with Doctor Doom mixed in. Not wildly original stuff, but well written and cleverly told, with good character moments. I had a lot of fun with this volume. I’d say Millar’s entire run is worth reading, just know that it gets better as it goes on.
Still not a fan of Greg Land's art, for the obvious reasons.

Got to page two of this book, and saw that Greg Land drew a bunch of characters to look like a My Chemical Romance poster, and promptly shut the book without reading further.
It's not worth wasting time on.

Boy is this volume all over the place. The unfocused storytelling and lack of consequences in the first story really drag down the enjoyment.
The first story is an inane time travel tale that also introduces Super Skrull to the Ultimate Marvel universe. There's a hugely confusing jump from the first issue to the second issue, plus the entire story starts off in media res since the time travel aspect has characters jumping all over and interacting with themselves. And there's no real consequences since . I can't believe the Skrulls plans would work so easily and seamlessly, especially with people supposedly as smart as Reed Richards but then again this is the same young, naive Reed who opened a portal to the Marvel Zombie universe.
The second story finally brings back Doctor Doom and makes some use of the "Frightful Four" or whatever they call the zombie version of the Fantastic Four. But there are so many ludicrous aspects to this story I couldn't help but laugh and curse at the same time. When the Frightful Four trick Then there's Doctor Doom's motivation for hating Reed and his stupid request I think maybe Mark Millar has some unresolved issues about being picked last for games as a kid?
The artwork still tries to be too realistic for its own good. It's not as egregious as the last volume, though, but I miss the more cartoonish art of something like Ultimate Spider-Man. At least someone finally made a joke about how silly Johnny's hair looks.
Thankfully this is the final volume of Millar's run on the title. I may be in the minority but I did not enjoy his stories very much at all. I'll give the next writer, Mike Carey, a shot with the next volume, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Vol. 7: God War but he has a short leash after how disappointing this series has been since Warren Ellis.

And yet again, Fantastic Four has run into repetition. First it was well-told stories with very similar villains for the first three novels. Now, for the past three volumes we've been stuck with less-than-interesting characters in very sped-up plots with too much going on for it's short page-count. Again, I didn't mind the story. But with how much I liked "Doom", I thought that "Frightful" would be just as good. I mean, Dr. Doom is on the cover right? But, yet again, there are two stories uncomfortably squished in here and rushed out far too fast to really examine. But I still will, because I'm a critical nerd like that.
First, the story with Super-Skrull made no logical sense. At all. When the Fantastic Four went to the N-Zone successfully, they met Nihil, not Super-Skrull, who tried to kill them. The story should actually be about Nihil killing the now power-less Four, coming into earth and trying to take it over. Now, THAT would be a cool story! But we got stuck with Ben crying... a lot. He even went into an uncomfortable scene about considering slitting his wrists and asking Reed to kill him. And then, as soon as he gets Alicia, it just goes away and we never see it again! The scene literally came out of nowhere in this series and was just for the purpose of adding some forced "humanity" into this specific story. Also, I don't think all 6 billion humans are dumb enough to trust an alien giving out pills (sorry 5,999,999,999 people- since Ben is the only thinking person in the world, obviously).
My favorite of the two was actually the one about the "Frightful Four". It had some genuinely good twists here and there, and some pretty interesting ideas, but it seemed to go more into the idea many comic book writers have, which is, "If I have more crazy stuff happen in the story, maybe people will remember it more!" which is really evident in this story. Some of the stuff that happened was cool (such as the zombies' escape, and Doom sacrificing himself). But some stuff was dumb... really dumb. Like Reed agreeing to switch minds with Doom. Seriously? Aren't you a genius, Reed? There's gotta be a better answer than Doom's crazy idea. And why didn't Doom use this idea to his advantage and take over the Four, or even try taking over the world?
This is a less-than-average example of big, dumb, action-y comics that I can read just find- but end up forgetting after a day passes. I know this series has potential... I just hope the writers can find it and make some better stories, like the first few that were told.

I guess I just don't like Mark Millar's writing. Flippant consciousness-swaps, irresponsible time and dimensional travel, and quick and ridiculous conclusions... This felt like everything I didn't like about The Ultimates. The illustration style didn't help.
February 4, 2013
Possibly one of the best F4 stories I have read to date. I am not exactly a fan of using zombies in a story, but it actually worked out rather well in this instance. Aside from that, the interaction between Reed & Victor was well worth the read, and I find myself actually looking forward to hopefully reading about Victor's presumed mission to clean up the zombie world and finding his way back to the prime universe. This is Dr. Doom after all so you know he has to come back to continue his perennial habit of making Reed's life a royal pain.
October 15, 2019
These Ultimate Marvel stories seem ok, almost charming, in retrospect. Millar and Land are professional, but you really just want to see more of this villainous zombie FF (the Marvel Zombies).
Mildly recommended.

Again, some amazing artwork on hand here. The story gets a bit overly convoluted, but everything does come together in one big climax. Really liking most of what I've read in this series so far.

The President Thor story was a jumbled, confusing, rushed mess. Frightful, however, was delightful.
March 19, 2021
This series continues to be a very interesting read for me. This volume contains issues 27-32 and I really enjoyed it. The first part of the book we get introduced to the super skrull and get to visit an alternate future on what could've happened if the Fantastic Four didn't have their accident. The story mainly focuses on Ben and its actually really touching. The second half is us coming back to the zombie FF as they are still held up in the ultimate universe, hatching a plan to escape their prison. We also get to see Dr Doom again and this time around he is a little bit more interesting however I do still think he has way more potential in this ultimate universe. The writing is still being done by Mark Millar and the artwork is mainly done by Greg Land. Big fan of these two together although like I've mentioned on reviews of the previous Ultimate FF volumes, I do think that Millar seems a bit lazy with his plotting towards the end of stories as they just feel like they wrap up a little too quick and the whole grand scheme just seems a bit silly. Im still a big fan of Mark however in this series he seems to do that a lot. Gregs artwork I've been a fan of since I first saw it and it just works so well with an FF book especially with certain issues having a bit of darker tones. Another really solid read!

Millar is in his element writing Ultimate Fantastic Four. These three issue, zany, darker, heavy on the sci fi arcs are a lot of fun. The first three issue arc was a blast. I was a little disappointed with the direction they took once they made the changes to their past, with the world being a supes world where Ben is the only guy without powers. I thought there were more interesting ways to go about the story but in the end it worked out decently well, with the Skrulls and the reversal and all. Some fun time travel moments there.
The second arc gives us more Doom and more zombies. It’s yet another good, fun arc. Doom is done significantly better than he was in volume 2. I’m not familiar with Marvel Zombies but this sets up some really fun ideas with Doom for that series. The body swapping and occult aspects are well done. I was really surprised by this volume and the last. Millar is doing genuinely good work. They have been some of the best stuff I’ve read in Ultimate Marvel thus far.
Side note: there was no reason to retcon the Chitauri and Skrull as being the same alien race. With the Galactus event that follows they’ve now shown three distinctly different races and called them all Kree and it’s unnecessarily messy.

Man, I really want to give this four stars because of the first arc but the second one has such a dumb set-up that I can't really justify it...
The first arc is quite fun and shows a different reality where all humans get super-powers and Thor is the freaking president. It sounds dumb but it kinda works and I liked the ending of that part a lot.
The second part felt stupid, though. The way the military acted was incredibly dumb (like... brain-dead levels of dumb) and the whole thing with a lovecraftian demon that's inside of Johnny Storm is just plain weird... I like that Doom returned but other than that it simply wasn't that good.

President Thor (#27-29). Connecting the Chitauri up to the Skrulls is a nice bit of (alt) continuity. As is how nasty this alternative version of the Skrulls is! But it's the timey-wimey story of trying to cure Ben that's the wonderful heart of this story, and it's quite well done. [5/5]
Frightful (#30-32). Millar's finale is a nice combination of many plot points, from Doom to N-Zone to Crossover. (Though he seems to notably ignore Warren Ellis' organic mutations for Doom, in part by never showing his feet clearly.) It's a great look at the Doom/Reed rivalry and a really satisfying conclusion to it as well. Farewell, Millar! This was another great Ultimate effort! [5/5]

Bisakah Ben Grimm, The Thing, dikembalikan ke wujudnya semula? Akankah anggota FF yang lain kehilangan kekuatan super mereka? Permasalahan dengan zombie FF masih ada sebab mereka tidak dikembalikan lagi ke jagat asal mereka tapi malah dikurung di Baxter Building. Johnny Storm, si manusia api hamil dan tidak ada superhero lain yang bisa menolongnya kecuali musuh bebuyutan FF, Doctor Doom, penguasa Latveria yang telah mengetahui rahasia-rahasia ilmu magis dunia Atlantis. Kemunculan pertama Ultimate Alicia.

The art was a bit drab. The only thing keeping this rating up is the twisting story. I have no idea how someone could write something so derivative, yet it all comes together so well. I never expected to see Doom like this.
Annual #2: I can't say I ever expected to see Moleman again, or if I ever wanted to see him again.

I’m reading the entire Marvel Zombies storyline, which includes this TPB. I liked the President Thor storyline and the zombies! My only real complaint is only half a complaint: the art features too many character smiling. I don’t like the way Sue looks most of the time, or Johnny. I do like the way Reed and Ben look, though.
September 27, 2022
Two stories in this one. The first, time travel thing was a s stupid and pointless as time travel stories tend to be. But the second one, the Marvel Zombie one, that was brilliance and really really good fun. Doom pretty often makes things to go like that.
Not forgetting Greg Land's sexy art. Good times.

Starts with a cute Twilight Zone-ish story.
Then there's a weird super-Marvel Zombies story. It feels like Marvel Zombies ^1.1, maybe?
Whole book was fine, I guess. I did like Reed's escape plan.

This book was definitely an improvement on the last one. Lands art was still pretty atrocious to look at and he still had a ton of pork traces, that’s all to be said about him. But the writing improved some. The first half of this was a time travel story where the Fantastic Four create and alternate timeline where the accident never happened and because of that they meet Skrulls. The Skrulls help them but it’s really a ploy to take over, Ben has to time travel again to make the accident happen and save the world. Boring arc at worst. But the second arc was interesting, it tied up the plot threads from the rest of Millars work on the title. We see the Zombie FF break out and try to eat the world. Doctor Doom tricks Reed in to switching bodies with him and it makes for an interesting dialogue at least. Reed is about to make the sacrifice play but then Victor switches back so he can save the world and be a hero. Not good, but not bad either, just an end to Millars time on this title.
