5.0 out of 5 stars Neal Adams art in a big format!
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

A story drawn by Neal Adams and written by Mark Waid in a Treasury Edition size...what more could you ask for? The artwork is amazing in this huge format. Galactus is meant for stories this size! The story itself is fun as an Anti-Galactus creature is revealed and when the two titans go head-to-head it isn't pretty for our purple buddy. It's up to the Fantastic Four (again) to save the day, but this time the answer may be too incredible for the team to ever recover from!

Adams' recent work for DC has been questionable at best (Batman: Odessey will go down in no one's book as a classic), but here he is doing the artwork for someone else's story (Mark Waid) and it's a nice combination. Waid is a master storyteller (Kingdom Come) so his coverage of the Fantastic Four is great. There's so much to love in this short 4-issue miniseries that FF fans will enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Neil Adams final works
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024

So, I'm going to take issue with some of the reviews that point out his art has dropped a knotch or that the stories are substandard. Stories here being the Fantastic Four, the two Batman's, the X-Men, and Deadman & Superman.
Yes, his art was UNQUESTIONABLY better in the 70's than today (just look at his GL/GA & Superman vs Muhammad Ali), and even if you go back in time, and read his and Denny O'Neal's output from back then, you will find the writing quality a step down from today (I STILL love Denny O'Neal, however). And this particular FF story is penned by Mark Waid! Who has written way better. Damn. Ok. So why should you buy this? I mean, Mark Waid has written better. Even for Marvel (he's a better DC writer). Before I get into that, let me express a few artistic choices I couldn't agree with: firstly, Neil draws The Thing as a rocky ape; same bone structure - which is an artistic choice for depicting the muscle of the group, but he's a Top Gun type pilot. He's no dummy! So depicting him as a cro-magnum type dude is disingenuous at best. The other artistic choice I take issue with is in a single panel where the Silver Surfer is drawn with irises. And in a medium where irises are often ignored for expediency, I nevertheless feel obliged to point out, there ARE ACTUALLY at least 3 characters that have no business having irises: Batman, Spiderman, and Silver Surfer (yes, ok, Captain Atom & Moon Knight too - let's not get too bogged down with this, ok?)
But here's the thing: although Neil's art has gone down a knotch, that's still not by much... And considering how little his comics output was, and how monumental his presence continued to be felt long after he left to form his own advertising agency, this strikes me as an acknowledgement that he will Always be remembered for his comics output. I think he drew these stories because he knew he was on the way out. And he wanted to leave us something to remember him by. And considering how expensive his reprints are... (Good Lord! Are they MORE expensive than the comics, themselves?). Neil Adams was Alex Ross when Alex Ross was a pimple on Neil Adam's behind. He was the guy who drew superheroes the way you imagined them in real life! And I have no problem supporting him through a used book purchase rated "very good". Are there better stories out there? Metric tons. I suppose this is a purchase for the comics historian. If you've been around awhile, your gonna want this. It doesn't suck, and it's Neil Adams! If your history with comics begins at the 90's... Yeah, skip it. There's nothing for you here.

3.0 out of 5 stars IT IS NOT THE BEST NEAL ADAMS ART OF HIS CAREER.

Having long admired the imagination and photorealistic style of Neal Adams I was disappointed by this book. The cover alone tips you off to the quality of what lies within-The Thing looks like an accumulation of cat turds,the Silver Surfer looks like a half melted lead statue. For a man of his talents this book is a poor showing.

I love this A3 format too, as it creates so many more large page spread opportunities!!

Good but racy in one area. If you're buying this to read to children, there will be one area you'll want to avoid. It's too bad. It's really a shame actually.

1.0 out of 5 stars Now we know why Adams never drew the FF
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2022

If Like me you are a long-term Marvel fan then you may have been wishing that Neal Adams had handled the art chores on the FF before "Antithesis". After reading this you'll wish he had never been allowed near it.
Neal Adams was a fantastic artist and his work on Batman and Green Lantern remains unmatched but clearly he is now past his prime and his depiction of the FF, particularly the Thing, borders, as others have said, on the grotesque. Whilst there are glimpses of the Adams signature art, adopting a novel perspective and drawing the eye across the page, there are also far too many images which just don't portray Marvel's first family. Overall, the book feels like it packs in too many examples of Adams trying to outdo himself and never really pulling it off. What is intended to be a story of cosmic proportions feels small, pedestrian and ill-judged.
Worse still is the writing; Mark Waid is a fine writer but in this story he reduces Galactus to a "bloke in a suit" with no shadow of the incredible "beyond mere mortal understanding" character that Lee and Kirby introduced. What makes Galactus such an interesting and enigmatic character is that he is not evil, not good; he is simply amoral - feeding on planets to sustain his ever-consuming hunger. The Galactus trilogy was a milestone in comics, introducing concepts that challenged the reader. Antithesis reduces Galactus to just another man who can be stripped of his power cosmic and reduced to that of a helpless vessel, requiring the assistance of the FF. There is no grandeur here, no high concepts and nothing that accords with the Galactus storylines that have gone before.
This is purely a book for completionists - worth it for a few great Adams images but overall disappointing.
