Fantastic Four: Dark Reign

This is the first Fantastic Four story to come out after the Secret Invasion story-arc.  This is also the first story to officially start off the epic Jonathan Hickman, Fantastic Four run.  I am not really that big of a Fantastic Four fan the only knowledge I had previous to this book was the animated series of the 90's & those two piss poor movies.  This was a fun introduction to the first family of the Marvel Universe.  Reed Richards believes that he is the cause of many of the Marvel Universe's current slate of problems there is even a foreshadowed mention of Marvel's upcoming Summer event Secret Wars starting in May, 2015.  This helps show just how much planning goes into the story-arcs & events that Marvel puts on year after year.  I haven't been able to say the same about DC Comics just yet but I may be able to with these DC weekly collections coming out currently.  There was a lot to like in this volume from Reeds inner conflict to the Richards children taking on Norman Osborn, head of Hammer.  Just the fact that Osborn has the audacity to try & shut down the Fantastic Four with his new found government power is priceless.
