Fantastic Four - Unified Field Theory


Written by Jonathan Hickman
Art by: Mike Choi, Ron Garney, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Ryan Stegman
Collects issues 605-611

Taking place after the monolithic celebration of 600+ issues, the series explores different perspectives. Or in Marvel's case "What If" scenarios that take the crew on zany adventures from serious, to illuminating understanding of who they are in the vast universe. (in current storylines, before the Marvel NOW connection)

From exploring a journey with his dad (Reed), to a "What if" the F4 happened in a Nazi controlled world, to find a cure for an old friend, to saving a future possibility with aid of a aged old dead enemy, dueling with AIM, embracing life, and facing Doom one more time.

Sounds like a lot to swallow right? Well.. that is F4 in a nutshell. Exploring vast possibilities, and leaving nothing undone, or redone, or disconnected. Be ready to have a thesaurus at the ready (in case you're not ready for a vast usage of unique dialect). Most of all have fun!

I have always loved F4 for that reason, getting to explore different ideas, and being able to find answers that no one dare thinks of, or could happen. Even now with the newer storylines, it never hurts to go back, you might have missed something.
