[Benjamin Kimble · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the Fantastic Four and this was a really fun collection of stories featuring iconic villains. See Kirby draw Black Panther and the Inhumans in Annual #5 was great Black Panther looks amazing under Kirby. Then, the wild fast paced issue #100 that Lee and Kirby gave us was tons of fun, there wasn’t a lot of depth to it but it was break neck action that was fun to read. The real standout to me though, was issue #258, an absolutely beautiful Doctor Doom issue written and drawn by John Byrne. Byrne did such and amazing job in characterizing Doom, every action he took, every thought he had, such a fantastic look at doom and his country of Latveria.
