45 years coming... the hen night, the stag night, and the marriage of Mr Benjamin Grimm and Mrs Alicia Masters. And in Slott's hands, it was not as bad as it could have been and we get treated to a Stan Lee - Jack Kirby classic reprint of Fantastic Four (1961-1998) #8 :). 7 out of 12, Three Star read.

Mazel Tov, kids!
It’s a long time coming, but Ben and Alicia finally tie the knot.
This volume hits the familiar comic book wedding notes:
Pre-nuptial dancin' jitters
Mentioning the time that Johnny married Alicia, who in actuality was really a Skrull. Heh.
Heh.
Mentioning Johnny’s poor track record with the ladies.
The pre-bachelorette party safety concerns.
The bachelorette party
What the hell is it with She-Hulk and male strippers?
Another poor choice for bachelor entertainment, the first in a string of poor choices (Thanks, Johnny!)
Playing poker
Fighting with Thundra (and fellas, she’s single!!)
The aw shucks after the disaster of a bachelor party (thankfully, these things never go off without a hitch)
I liked it when Johnny got punched in the face as well…
The anti-climactic, cutesy wedding.
Bottom Line : The Marvel powers that be really had to stretch out two issues to get this at volume size; they even added Fantastic Four #8 – Alicia and The Puppet Master’s first appearance as a bonus. Although slightly underwhelming, it still has enough smile engendering moments to be entertaining.

"TO BEN AND ALICEA! Friends, family, and fellow heroes . . . as we celebrate these two crazy kids, about to 'blindly' head down the 'rocky' path of matrimony --" -- the Amazing Spider-Man
"No speeches! No shenanigans!" -- The Thing, a.k.a Ben Grimm, superhero interruptus
I thought Fantastic Four, Vol. 1: Fourever was pretty good, but its marital-centered follow-up hits the sweet spot with its finely-tuned mixture of humor (sorry, Thing - there will be shenanigans!) and heart. There was so much ridiculousness (bachelorette and bachelor parties gone awry . . . featuring superheroes and superheroines who are sadly never 'off the clock') alternating with an expected nostalgic ambience that it made the volume entertaining from start to finish. Some of the sight gags - cameo appearances by The Beach Boys (referencing their Pet Sounds album cover art); or Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and T'Challa illustrated to their resemble silver-screen counterparts Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and the late Chadwick Boseman - were also unexpectedly clever.

This has cash grab written all over it at $16 for the Wedding Special, FF #5, and a reprint of Alicia Masters's first appearance from way back in Fantastic Four #6. This was your standard super-hero wedding affair with some shenanigans. There were a few high spots but Slott still hasn't managed to hit that sweet spot he had on his Amazing Spider-Man run.

The long-awaited wedding of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters is delightful. All involved, particularly Dan Slott, do excellent work (I tend to love Slott’s approach to Marvel heroes; you may feel differently).
I do have one significant gripe: this “collection” is two issues and a reprint of an old FF issue (when Ben and Alicia first met) for $16. C’mon, Marvel…it’s like you’re calling a menage-a-trois an orgy. At least throw in the next story arc and, if you need to, bump the price up a bit. Three issues, even if one is a “wedding special” for that price in a collection is absurd. That would be like me charging people 15 cents to be my friend instead of the usual 10 cents, and no one even wants to pay that as is.
So, the rating is solely for the quality of the story and art.

Update: the actual collection ended up containing far fewer issues than Marvel initially announced, so part of this review extends to volume 3, I guess.
Everything in this volume that has to do with the wedding of Ben and Alicia is absolutely golden. Dan Slott (with a little help from Gail Simone) does a fantastic job of writing this romantic storyline, and my favourite part was actually the Wedding Special itself.
Unfortunately, once that's done with, the book turns into complete superheroic drivel. Seriously, Fantastic Four face off against Galactus and Doctor Doom? That's it, there's nothing else to it! Oh boy, that was definitely worth bringing the team back from the dead.
So yeah, can't give this book a lower rating because of how much I enjoyed the entire wedding half of it, but holy crap does it need an actual story moving forward. Come on, Slott! I know you're capable of it!

This was an okay read as we have the marriage of Alicia and Ben and well we see whats happening and all and how they are spending their bachelor party and all like with Alicia with her girls and fighting Mole-woman and a weird story there or an issue with Ben and Johnny sort of bonding and their marriage bt the constant troubles there but how Reed saves the day and it was lovely, truly showing how amazing he is and finally a throw-back from the silver age where the tem fought off the Puppet-master and the first appearance of Alicia and yeah idk it kind of throws the whole reading speed of this volume and it shouldn't be here honestly but then again a good read and the art was 20% okayish in the volume so that might not please many other readers.

Totally lacking any effort whatsoever.
It’s like watching reruns of friends and realising chandler isn’t funny.

This series dropped off in quality pretty quickly. This volume focuses on the wedding of Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters, but most of the volume focuses on the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Rather than giving us heartfelt character moments, the story gives us the Fantastic Four and friends playing out every trope of bachelor/bachelorette parties that you've seen in countless movies and TV shows. As a result, it's boring to read, and sometimes it's a bit frustrating because a few characters do things a bit out of character in order to execute the tropes. The only part of this I enjoyed was the reprint filler at the end of the book.

Volumes like this really irritate me. Collecting two actual new issues of Fantastic Four and a reprint from earlier in the series, Volume 2 of this book focuses on the wedding of Alicia Masters and Ben Grimm, which is a lovely way to celebrate 650 issues.
Luckily, issue #5/#650 and the Wedding Special that are collected here are both oversized, but they're really not enough to justify a whole trade all to their selves. The wedding is sweet, and the surrounding stories are well done; I especially liked the bachelorette party in the Special, but there's definitely a sense that this is just a cash grab volume, which is irritating to say the least.

I haven't read Fantastic Four for a very long time, but Ben Grimm and Alicia Master's wedding is a pretty significant Marvel event as those go, since the two have been together for decades (in our reality, anyway). It was an opportunity to let Alicia Masters finally shine. She's possibly the single comics character with a disability and without superpowers, but she always seemed to be defined by her disability, her love for Ben, and at times, her sculpting - but nothing beyond that. And their marriage could have held an important message about love overcoming adversity and judgment.
Nope! Instead the creators decided to weigh down this momentous occasion with shallow and disconnected storylines that weren't about Alicia and Ben at all. Instead they prioritized the flash and glitter of a bunch of superheroes and supervillains - essentially, staying true to the genre's tropes, to the detriment of any real emotion or development.
The problems are evident in the opening pages of Alicia's bachelorette party, when her friends (all superheroes) take the bachelorette, who again, is blind...to a strip club. Even worse, because Alicia can't see the strippers, the girls convince her to undress one instead. What??! This fixes nothing and creates HUGE issues of consent and ableism - instead of creating a bachelorette party comfortable for Alicia, she has to bend to ableist and misogynist tropes. It's not hard: a wine and sculpture party. There, I did it. But we're already in hell, so of course a villain crashes the club and Alicia retreats into the background as the superhero women punch stuff. (Because readers can't handle a comic without punching stuff!) I'm aghast that Gail Simone wrote this, and part of me has to believe that she had serious writing constraints.
The other issues were utterly forgettable, and the reprinted issues are sad filler (and of course are problematic in a totally different way). There is NOT ONE issue devoted just to Alicia and Ben. Who are they as a couple, even??! Has anyone bothered to spend actual time and effort on their relationship? It cheapens the wedding, and if I may be fully cynical, implies that they're getting married just as a marketing ploy, and not because their relationship is ready for it.
The wedding issue itself is still not really about Ben and Alicia. Marvel can't see beyond the tropes of their own genre and underestimates their readership. Instead of having an actual wedding issue, the ceremony is interrupted by supervillain noise, and worst of all, Ben leaves Alicia right after the ceremony - once again, she retreats into the background as an unimportant person, instead of a character worthy of a story.
It's gross, it's sexist, and once again, disturbingly ableist: it implies that people with disabilities like Alicia are not worthy of stories.
Also, again please indulge me, if the wedding is supposed to be the point of the book, and it's gonna be a Jewish wedding, maybe draw the tallitot (prayer shawls) correctly, and show more than one ritual other than breaking the glass, which is the most iconic, but not the most important part. There are plenty of other elements that could have been shown, like the bride and groom circling each other, or the priestly blessing.
I'm salty because I'm Jewish, but even more so, because Ben's Jewishness is central to his identity. Jack Kirby made it an essential part of his character and infused his own past into Ben's origin story. (And I would be just as pissed if they did this to other heroes with important religious identities, like Nightcrawler, Daredevil or Kamala Kahn.) If this is a wedding issue, then maybe make it look like it actually matters instead of phoning it in for two pages.
What a disappointing book. We learn nothing new about Alicia, who barely matters in her own wedding story - just like in the early comics, it feels like she just exists to love Ben. Speaking of whom, Ben Grimm is his same old self which is...fine, but not interesting. I was extremely disappointed in this comic and won't be returning to Fantastic Four for a while.

I really enjoyed this one! Wedding specials have had a somewhat problematic history in comics, with far too many involving dreams and deceptions and impostors and all manner of other bait-and-switch shenanigans. (No one is ever going to trust DC again after all of the bat-cat-astrophe hype of a year or so ago, right?) But I have to say that Marvel got it right this time around, with considerable good humor and warm moments and a lot of laughs and shenanigans. (Which is funny because all through the book Ben keeps insisting the most important thing is that there be no shenanigans.) The best writing and the best art is the first segment, (Invisible) Girls Gone Wild written by Gail Simone and illustrated by Laura Braga. Jennifer Walters, Medusa, and Crystal join Sue and Alicia and a couple of her artist friends for the bachelorette party and shenanigans ensue. (Johnny seeing the trio of exes together is priceless... randy scallions indeed.) Then there's a short in which Ben visits Alicia's stepfather, the Puppet-Master, to ask his blessing, which ends with a delightful twist that knocked my sox right off. Next we have the bachelor party, with even more shenanigans, including a game of strip poker and The Serpent Society jumping out of a cake. Finally we have the wedding itself, just a small family affair, no capes or creeps, and Reed comes through at the vital moment to save the day just when you thought he was going to blow it...again. After which the Core-Four have to hop into the FantastiCar and fly to Latveria to fight Galactus, but that doesn't matter because they actually got it done! Alicia finally became Mrs. Grimm. I was less impressed with the art in the last sequences, but the story was quite good. The book appends the first appearance of Puppet-Master and Alicia by Stan the Man Lee and Jack King Kirby from the November, 1962 issue, which was also a lot of fun. (Do you remember when Stan and Jack tried to crash Reed & Sue's wedding but were turned away? Wow, you shoulda been there...) Mazel Tov & Excelsior!

A serious upgrade on Fantastic Four Vol. 1, although that's not a huge surprise since Mr. and Mrs. Grimm is almost entirely focused on Ben's nuptials. Like, how can you go wrong with so many opportunities for sweet nostalgia and quiet character moments? Dan Slott produces both the humor and pathos here, and the art team largely steps up to the high bar. At the end of the day, nothing goes too awry, which is kind of fantastic in and of itself. Batman's wedding to Catwoman, this is not.

Well, it took 60 years, but Ben Grimm finally married Alicia Masters. The old fanboy in me is quite happy. I'm a little put off by the many dumb stripper and strip poker gags shoved into this book as well as the contradictory continuity of the bachelorette party presented in two short stories by two different writers (Hey, goof-off editor, do I get a No-Prize if I suggest Alicia had two bachelorette parties with almost the same groups of people in the two days before her rushed wedding?), but there are many nice touches throughout that pay tribute to the long history of this romance and the complicating factors that have kept the two lovebirds apart.
That Puppet Master puppet callback, by the way, is positively chilling.

This was actually really sweet. Yes, they get married. No, there's no inter-dimensional switcheroo. She's not a clone. His mind doesn't get erased.
They just get married.
Good for Ben, who has always had it hardest in the FF.

This volume is pretty much everything that's wrong with modern Marvel.
First up, we have this particular artifact which is a horrendous cash-grab of a collection. We get one "wedding special" that was contracted out to whatever authors and artists happened to be in the office at the time, and then we get an oversized wedding issue that's just a mishmash of stories without trying to be a particularly coherent narrative.
So, yeah, two whole issues. And a reprint of Alicia's first appearance, which I'd bet three-quarters of readers skip.
As that synopsis suggests, the actual issues are nothing to write home about either. There's exactly one interesting plot point in the special (it concerns Alicia, and it's probably going to be forever ignored), and otherwise we get a cliched bachelorette party and lots of puppet master whining. Then over in the main issue we get a cliched bachelor party, yet another bachelorette party (or maybe the same one? who knows? no one cared about making it obviously fit together), an endless recap of Ben and Alicia's relationship (which actually has some good bits, but you need to dig to get there), oh and a wedding that no one caries about by then.
Way to ruin an interesting event while filling your billfold, Marvel.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t plan on buying the wedding special but I got it in a package deal when I bought issue 2-7. Anyway, I’m glad they threw it in. I enjoyed it and issue #5. Ben just wanted everything to go down with no SHENANIGANS. But of course that wasn’t going to happen because......comic books!! Add in who showed up at the end, I’m excited to read the next wave of books.
October 29, 2019
Schmalzy and all over the place in terms of art and writers? Sure, but hey, IT'S A WEDDING SPECIAL! These sorts of things only happen once in a decade or so, so it's up to us comics reading schlubbs to just buy in and enjoy it, right?
Were there (rocky) dick jokes? Check.
Were there male strippers performing for the benefit of a blind bride-to-be? Check.
Did Johnny Storm somehow manage to make Ben's bachelor party all about himself? Big Check.
And, in the end, the deed is done, no Skrulls, no take backsies...and true to form, Reed Richards redeems his "Worst Best Man Ever" performance with the precious gift of time to allow the rabbi to pronounce the happy couple man and wife.
Mazel Tov!

Booooo!
Volume two is a wedding special, with a bunch of meaningless stories, and then the SIN OF ALL SINS, a bunch of old comic pages stuffed in the back.
Nothing happens relevant to the story of volume 1, and while some of this was cute and well illustrated, I'm so mad that this wholly skip-able special issue is the entirety of the second numbered volume of Slott's FF. Garbage practices Marvel, smdh.
Glad Mike Allred was here tho.

This was cheesy but it was also pretty fun. Not much to say because the content here is basically the day before Ben gets married with fun little party moments with the girls and then Ben actually getting married. Get a lot of touching moments, a cute wedding, and a ending that can't help but be heartwarming. While it was cute it was nothing "must read" but still cute. 3 out of 5.

Pretty dull. Still hope for this series.

OMG the wedding issue. In comics, these are always a fiasco of treacly, overstuffed adoration for characters that otherwise get tortured on the regular.
Give me intense adversaries any day over this cotton candy foolishness.
I’m sure Slott has had a burning love for FF his entire life, but did we all have to go through that with him?
Wait, I should absolutely draw a firewall between the bachelor party and everything else. Thundra alone was hilarious. Bachelor party earns all the stars of my review.

Cute wedding story with Ben and Alicia. I am happy to finally get a comic book wedding event that didn't turn out to be a huge bait and switch.

Um edição lindaaa, eu só colocaria a história clássica do rei kirby primeiro para contextualizar melhor e pegar as referências,mas é um especial isso e bem divertido. N conhecia alicia então foi uma grande porta de entrada e fiquei bem feliz de representar a limitação visual nos quadrinhoss
No geral é uma história bonita de arte e é cadamento né tem votos e tudo maiss.
Vem eu gostei mas entre pensando que é uma celebração

A chore to read.
Full of cliches that makes you wonder how the fuck they went through editorial and got published. Like, you're Marvel, not an independent publisher. I don't mind finding a typo or two even if you ARE Marvel, but I DO mind paying to read what I've read and cringed over a thousand times.
Never recommend this to a Fantastic Four fan.
Ps. Mostly angry at myself for buying a bunch of variants of the series too. Ofc I got them for the covers but still. Supporting a title that's garbage is not good, it's like asking a thief to murder you too.

This only contains the Wedding Special and FF#5. It's pretty much just about the Bachelor and Bachelorette parties in the special and they are fun like you would expect, full of "shennanigans".
Then FF#5 takes you all the way through to the wedding and shows how Reed is the biggest @$$ but can also have his moments. It ends in a way that you feel all the "setup" is complete and now the adventure stuff can begin. I'm looking forward to see what Slott's imagination can come up with in this series.

Kind of blah. If you like wedding issues, you'll love this, but there's really nothing else here. They even resort to the old, "haul out an ancient issue of the title to fill out the page count" trick. Time for this series to get going with some actual storytelling.

The biggest surprise I got from this volume was that these two crazy kids weren't married already.
It's hard to believe but this is my favourite FF volume by Dan Slott so far. Maybe because a lot of it is just the FF and their friends fooling around? Eh, go figure!

Esse quadrinho me deixou bastante dividido. Porque quando peguei ele para folhear - sim, sempre folheio os quadrinhos antes de ler para valer - me pareceu mais um daqueles quadrinhos que quer capitanear com um evento. No caso, esse evento é o casamento do Coisa, Ben Grimm com a escultora cega Alicia Masters. Fiquei pensando será que era necessário realmente tantas páginas de quadrinhos para mostrar as despedidas de solteiro dos dois? O que me passou foi que Dan Slott não estava sabendo o que fazer direito com o Quarteto Fantástico - sensação que tenho desde o primeiro encadernado deles. As histórias sim, são divertidas e tal, mas não me pegaram tanto quanto a grande maioria dos trabalhos que Dan Slott costuma fazer e que me deixam bastante empolgado mesmo. Assim que o grande destaque deste quadrinho acaba sendo a arte de pessoas com um talento extremamente premiado como Mike Allred, Aaron Kuder e Adam Hughes. Acho que eu, junto com muita gente ficou bastante decepcionado com esse retorno da Família Fantástica quando deveria estar recebendo um tratamento e um destaque melhores e maiores.

After many many many years, Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters are getting married! Been a while since we had a wedding in the Marvel Universe, so it was nice to see a moment of happiness for the ever-lovin' blue eyed Thing. Though the Volume also contains the Bachelor and Bachelorette parties (you can guess what happens at one of them if the cops have to be called and Tony's credit card gets flashed lol!) the focus is the wedding itself AND the aftermath. Reed has to use a chronosphere to give them 4 minutes to exist out of time to finish the wedding, as Galactus has returned and Doom is getting ready to face off against him. Will their happy ending turn out bad now that the World Devourer has returned?
Enjoying seeing Marvel's First Family getting some much needed attention.
Recommend.
