Fantastic Four Vol. 1:The Fall of the Fantastic Four

This is start of the last Fantastic Four series to be published by Marvel Comics to date I am a firm believer that this series will be resurrected in time for a new generation to enjoy.  James Robinson after being over at DC Comics has jumped ship & come over to Marvel to guide the Fantastic Four on their final set of adventures.  This first volume is a little tedious at times by overall it is an excellent start.  Marvels first family is settling back into the lives at the Baxter Building after the craziness that they called a vacation in Matt Fraction's previous run.  But like any family cracks are starting to form as old habits start to emerge such as Reed not being able to see the forest through the trees while doing research, Ben trying to rekindle a past relationship, Johnny trying to leave is mark the world & all the while Valeria has run away from home to spend time with Uncle Victor Von Doom.  Something happens in which part of the Baxter Building is destroyed & hundreds of people are injured, not to mention that Johnny Storm has lost his powers.  The Fantastic Four is put on trial basically for negligence throughout their super-heroing career.  Part of the verdict brought down in this volume is that the students are removed from the Baxter Building & the Future Foundation shut down, the students are sent to Camp Hammond & put under the charge of Jim Hammond the original Human Torch.
