It's a Whole New Doom

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

Dr. Doom is easily one of the greatest villains of the Marvel Universe, and this story brings him to a whole new level. After years of seeing his technological approach to his schemes fail, Victor Von Doom decides to embrace the dark arts that he once only dabbled in. The result is a level of power that may be beyond even the Fantastic Four to stop. Truly amazing stuff, and one of the best Doom stories in recent years.

Fun story for those just getting into F4 like me. I wanted a book that did what the movies have yet to do: make me care about the F4, and boy did this title deliver.

Really that good. Avoid spoilers. Buy and read.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016

Here's a Fantastic Four story arc you can buy with confidence, and read with much optimism. If there are any elements you don't like, they won't be enough to sour you on the story. Personally, I felt Mike Wieringo's art was a bit more cartoony and cute than I like, but it works really well when two of the characters involved are young children. Both Franklin and Valeria Richards, the children of Reed and Sue Richards, are central to the plot, and Wieringo's bright, warm color palette pays off, first as authenticity, then as savage irony, as this is a truly frightening tale. The casual reader might just glance and assume it's a children's book, but anybody who actually reads the thing from the beginning is going to know . . . This book is as serious, disturbing, and provoking as you could ask from a comic. I wouldn't even WANT young children to read this, without having read it myself first. I rated the violence level as "Some violence" only because Wieringo's cartoony style masks some of the sheer grisly horror of it all. I'm not sure a more-realistic approach (say, Mike Deodato), or a cooler palette, would be an improvement. It's scary on the adult level, which I love! As it is, you have to stop and think about the ramifications of what's happening.

Waid and Wieringo really created a story that breathed new life into a set of characters that had gone up and down in quality for decades. The characters that started the Marvel Comics era, but ultimately was a mixed bag. This book should be known among the greats of the superhero genre. If you've literally never read a comic, you have no idea what a great villain Dr. Doom really is. But this book does not require you to be informed on years of continuity. It's a perfectly good place to drop right in to the Fantasti-car and buckle up!

(They don't really spend very much time in the Fantasti-car.)

It begins with Victor von Doom traveling in America anonymously (masked as always, but not recognizable), and through his narration, you will learn everything you need to know about him. The Four will introduce themselves enough, as well. It only takes the tiniest leap of faith to start reading this one, and it will take you on its perilous journey.

It should be understood that the title is "Fantastic Four: Unthinkable", as a complete story arc, as it is collected in the paperback. But it is subtitled as "Vol. 2", because it is the second collection of writer Mark Waid's run. However, the hardback titled "Fantastic Four Vol. 2" is a different set of stories. If you like "Unthinkable", you'll find "Authoritative Action" a very worthy sequel, but "Unthinkable" definitely stands alone.

Excellent Collection of Fantastic Four Comics

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014

The core of the “Fantastic Four” focuses on family and pushing the boundaries of the imagination. Both are on center stage in this collection of comics as Mark Waid continues his solid run as writer with Mike Wieringo doing a solid job as he leads the art team. Waid takes longtime nemesis Dr. Doom in a different direction here, playing up his sorcerous abilities and how Mr. Fantastic, a logician who embraces science, has to respond to it. Included in the mix is how Doom threatens the Richards family and how the various Fantastic Four members respond to it. The result is a solid, exciting story with memorable moments, some humor, interesting plot twists and excellent character development. The story also includes a remarkable epilogue which ties up various elements. This ranks as one of the best Fantastic Four collections out there. Highly recommended.

Unthinkably enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2003

Well, where to begin?
I went into 'Unthinkable' thinking that Mark Waid, wahtever he had planned, was going to do this one just right.
I used to think Wieringo's art was too cartoonish, much like Ed McGunness, but then I wised up.
'Unthinkable' was by and far, one of the most wonderfully crafted Marvel books I've yet read. Ive only recently jumped on the Marvel bandwagon bgecause I realized that DC still writes stories that are ordained and meant fro children--despite the greats like Green Arrow's ward's drug addiction, the brutality of the Joker on killing Jason Todd and others. But Marvel's dogma is simply more adult.
Example: How many DC villains would voluntarily (much less inhernetly know how to) banish thier nemesis' son to Hell?
But all comparisons and contrasts aside, Unthinkable gave the reader a wonderful insight into the mechanics of Reed Richards mind--his disdain for magic, his analytical nature, his utter disgust at Doom. Waid himself said that 'Unthinkable' is one monumental character flaw--Reed Richards-wise.
Doom was, as always, impeccably well-written and drawn. Hard to believe his newest armor is made from his dead lover's skin!
The new spins on Susan, Ben, and especially Johnny were great. It's so nice to see Johnny and Ben just horsing around instead of actually fighting and ruining the good ol' Baxter Building. Plus, Ringo has a certain way of making Johnny look more...educated, yet adolescent...welcome additions all around.
Stephen Strange's presence was nice, and the segway by Grimm when the FF are on their way to Latveria is a good thing to establish character.
All in all, the arc that effectively puts Doom on the shelf for the forseeable future is a well-crafted piece of comic art. Mark Waid has done it again.
