About book Fantastic Four, Vol. 1: New Departure, New Arrivals (2013)

Surprisingly interesting and enjoyable. A clever mix of old familiar characters and new. I've never been an FF fan - but I've been a Franklin Richards fan ever since Power Pack (Lentil Soup my Favorite). Compared to the other dreck I've been reading in the Marvel Now, this has a real plot and a rationale for each character to be there. Sure its goofy but in a good way. With good enough writing and good enough art. I read it, now I can't unread it. Reactions: Was this supposed to be funny? Was it supposed to be dramatic? Were the character interactions supposed to be interesting? Pretty much failed on all those counts, so I'm not sure what to think about it. But after reading this I can see why the movies flopped pretty bad. They captured the spirit of the books so well that it doomed the movies.I realize the author will never read nor care about my opinion, but I want to suggest to him/her anyway that they learn how to tell funny jokes before publishing a book of unfunny ones.
