    This has been such a fun run to make my way through. I’m amazed at how well these high-flying, science-fiction/fantasy stories hold up! Have you read Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four? 📚🤔📚

    Another great Silver Age comic review.😀👍
    I love these stories. My favorite is when the Fantastic Four meet Rama Tut in Egypt. Kirby draws his face looking so sinister. You just know he's a bad guy from his facial expressions alone.

      I had never read that issue prior to reading this omnibus that was definitely a standout! Another I really liked as well was when they encounter the Red Ghost, with his super intelligent primates and meet the watcher 😱👏
      FF and ASM are my top shelf choices for Silver Age for my money they had everything else beat by a mile
      During that era :)

    The artwork in this run went from good to truly 'fantastic' once Kirby started being inked by Joe Sinnott!

    • @TheComicBookReport
      @TheComicBookReport  2 года назад

      Yeah I finally have this full run in Omni format and it’s crazy how much the art
      Develops and agreed love Sinnott’s inking it really elevates Kirby’s already stellar work 💪👏
      What’s interesting is I’m in omnibus 2 right now reading and even before Sinnott, Kirby’s pencils even seem to be getting stronger or he’s getting more confident in portraying these characters or soemthing. Great stuff

    I’ve been thinking about buying this omnibus? I think I might finally pull the trigger.

    • @TheComicBookReport

      It’s an incredible read and such a time capsule of a book. For my money this title and the Amazing Spider-Man are the best the silver age has to offer! There’s so much creativity here and the character dynamics are way ahead of their time for this medium. You get a good chunk of issues and the reprints are just gorgeous. I will say Kirby’s art just gets better and better across these collections but wow!
      I’m not sure if this Omni is currently in print or not, but if you can find one for a good price or wait for the reprint this was one worth picking up in my opinion! 👏
      Have you read much of this original Fantastic Four run? :)

Although, I just got my copy of Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Volume-1 and I’m enjoying that so far. There’s just so much to buy right now, I’m not sure if I should get so many oldies lol.
