About the author

Hi, I'm Ryan! I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1980 and since then have written several books. You can read my Wikipedia page for more, or check out my author site at RyanNorth.ca!

I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.

I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

Disappointing that they're renumbering the collections too; I know Marvel are addicted to spurious #1s on their singles, but sometimes they have more sense when it comes to the trades and the risk of alienating and confusing more casual readers. And this was a particularly spurious renumbering, picking up in the midst of the same event where the last volume ended. That's the bad news; the good is that it means Ryan North is still writing, still mostly giving us stories as problems to be solved, whether that's the team being strewn through time by Doctor Doom or the Bechdel-tastic issue where the boys go on a fishing trip (in the Negative Zone) and Sue has to prove that – for once – the Black Cat is innocent of a heist. Really, the only change is that Humberto Ramos has joined on art, and he's very welcome; the one thing which sometimes held North's run back was visuals which, though competent, could feel a little characterless. No longer.

A great mini-reboot for Ryan North's 2022 run on Marvel's first family. It starts off with a more action packed 'get to know the cast' than the last stretch did with some tie-ins to the big Doom-centric crossover event. Despite that, this book neatly stands apart as a great jumping on point for readers excited from the recent film to see the comic book counterparts to the big screen superheroes.
Humberto Ramos does an excellent job showing off each character's unique charms and keeping the panels exciting no matter where the story goes.

Well, congrats to North for not taking a really, really stupid time travel story with The Biggest Cliché in Science Fiction Ever and not stretching it to a 6 issue arc. 3 issues was more than enough. Also congrats for telling single issue stories, though they are really bad.
Ramos is the only good/great thing here. One of the best artists in the industry, though Johnny’s Porn Stash is a bit weird and Reed now using his powers as if he’s Impossible Man are highly questionable, but this is modern comics; nothing really matters.

I really love that Sue is the leader, and that she now has her PhD. But every issue has a multi-page science lecture or reminder of how their powers work. The single issue format just isn't for me, as it renders everything unimportant and light. There are no stakes here.

Read through issues.

I highly enjoyed this first volume of the new Fantastic Four arc by Ryan North. The time travel aspects were very interesting, especially in the first two issues. I look forward to seeing where he will take these stories in future issues/volumes.
