In the same way that the last issue of Fantastic Four was all about beginnings, this issue is all about endings. Well, sort of. It's also about beginnings since it is technically the beginning of the previous issue. In a way. Don't think too much about it, what matters is that Fantastic Four is, once again, great. Matt Fraction and Mark Bagley deliver the goods and the goods are awesome.
Fraction continues to write Marvel comics they way they should be written. Each issue feels like its own story; its own chapter in the larger narrative. This isn't just a quick snapshot or a small piece of a puzzle, it's a tale all its own. Fantastic Four #7 is new reader friendly while still paying tribute to everything that came before it. This is monthly superhero comics at their best. Also, as stated in previous reviews, very all-ages friendly. It's truly a family adventure.
This issue also features the best Bagley work we have seen to date. Perhaps this has to do with new inker Andrew Hennessey or perhaps there's just more of a focus on the characters and anatomy. Either way, everything in this issue looks superb. Previously, the Richards children looked somewhat off, but that isn't the case here. Fantastic Four #7 looks fantastic and how could we hope for anything more?
