Fantastic Four by John Byrne Omnibus Vol. 1 (New Printing) (Fantastic Four Omnibus) Hardcover – 11 Sept. 2018

The Fantastic Four have been going now for many years, and in that time there has been a great variation in the quality of the stories, from the classic Lee/Kirby era, to the other end of the spectrum where there has been some absolute rubbish.This volume is from a time when the FF was one of the best comics on the newsstand.At a time when there was some quite stiff opposition, such as Frank Miller's Daredevil run, or Alan Moore's Swamp Thing stories, the John Byrne run on the FF ranks right up there with the best of them.As with all these Omnibus editions, the only way to read it comfortably is to sit at a table with it - you can't really take these to bed to read.This is an essential purchase for any longtime fan of the FF such as myself, or indeed for any younger reader who has only seen the newer stories from such people as Grant Morrison and Jonathan Hickman.Apart from the 1960s material I personally do not think there has ever been any better FF.

This is a bit clumsy to read, being so large and heavy, but it contains fabulous art and very exciting stories. This is the best phase of the FF since Lee/Kirby.

Great omnibus of a great run by Byrne looking forward to vol 2 if it reprints

Amazing!

One of the greatest runs in the history of comics, and arguably John Byrne's greatest work as both writer/penciller. And against Gladiator, the FF4 take what perhaps remains the greatest spanking ever put down on paper. Epic.

It was nice reading these comics again, but i felt this run was not as strong a his xmen run or Alpha flight. But im not complaining very happy to get this will have to track down vol 2

Was a good read overall, but compared to storylines now, it did seem old fashioned, But worth buying if you are looking to understand John Byrne's version of the FF

oversized hardcover which is almost impossible to hold it up to read due to its weight. the reproduced comics are fairly good but I wish I'd bought a soft cover essential instead.
