I often find the Fantastic Four to be one of the more boring aspects of The Marvel Universe. Even when it was being written by one of my favorite writers, Jonathan Hickman, it took me a while to warm up to the series. But Zdarsky's book about The Thing, The Human Torch, and Doctor Doom traveling through the multi-verse in search of the Reed family, when two out of three of them are pretty sure that the Reeds are actually dead, is a fantastic story.

Zdarsky is in top form, tweaking all the Fantastic Four tropes from different eras to make an engaging character study of Doom and The Thing. And while Rachna Koul isn't fully fleshed out in this volume, she makes an intriguing character who you want to know more about.

I recommend this story who anyone who loved the multiverse travelling FF/Fantastic Four stories, fans of the blue-eyed everloving Thing, Doom apologists, Rick & Morty enthusiasts curious about the inspiration for The Council Of Ricks, and people who enjoy fun comics that explore traumatic and damaged interpersonal relationships without getting overly melodramatic.
