I read a theory that Kirby was about to leave and stopped pushing ideas and was just through with the way he got handled and it sort of shows nearing the end, his panels get simpler and bigger and bigger, with at the end almost only 4 panel grids. The villains are a bit quirky at times here, who remembers bad guys like Blastaar, Sentry, Psycho-man Mole Man (who i kinda dig) or freaking Tomazooma, the walking Totempole.

This third omnibus is not the best in the series, that one still goes to the second omnibus with the Galactus trilogy, but its a very nice one still. 3 is the penultimate volume of one of the greatest runs in comics history. There were some Kirby collages and this volume has some striking covers. I love it but some of it is terrible.īack to the art, Kirby was still experimenting despite being disillusioned with how much credit he was getting. Stan Lee's dialogue alternates between great and grating, always with a hint of cheese. Part of the greener pastures thing I mentioned earlier. He wasn't phoning it in but he wasn't going 100 miles per hour either. The art is Kirby in his prime, although there are fewer panels per page toward the end of the volume than we normally get. My favorite part of this one was the last three issues, with Ben getting whisked away to the gangster planet to be a gladiator. Still, there is some groovy shit going on, like the Silver Surfer going to the Microverse, Crystal joining the team, and the psychedelic site seeing sojourn into the Negative Zone to grab Annihilus' cosmic rod.
the rest of the villains are the old standards. Kirby was on his way out the door and wasn't throwing quite as many ideas into the mix at this point, though he still had enough juice left for Annihilus and Adam Warlock. Guest stars include Daredevil, Spider-Man, Thor, The Inhumans, the Silver Surfer, and Adam Warlock, or Him as he was known at the time. In this collection, they go up against the Wizard, Galactus, Annihilus, the Mad Thinker, Maximus the Mad, Doctor Doom, The Frightful Four, Mole Man, and the thing that could tear the team asunder, Sue Richards' pregnancy. The classic team of Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, and Stan Lee are heading toward the end of their monumental run in this volume. I wouldn't have minded knowing this was coming out so I wouldn't have spent money on Fantastic Four Epic Collection: The Name is Doom but that couldn't be helped. The dust jacket doesn't match the other two but I'm still pleased with it. When the third was reprinted this year, I had to get it. I'm a Fantastic Four guy from way back and I've had the first and second omnibuses for years. The classic team of Jac Fantastic Four Omnibus Volume 3 collects issues #61-93 and annuals 5-7 of Fantastic Four.
