Synopsis:
Long ago, a fateful choice changed the destiny of a whole planet, light years away from Earth. Seven superhumans become the world’s first line of defense against any threats. The seven are called the Unparalleled! They must fulfill their destiny by defeating the foretold four or better known as the Fantastic Four. FF’s biggest secret is revealed, and even Johnny’s life won’t be the same as when he left Earth!
AWEsomeness:
Just an enticing plot with an okayish sort of artwork, nothing very interesting or out of the ordinary.













My review:
Except for a few humorous references regarding Johnny’s lovelife/ves, this story was mostly into a generic drama. This is a soft retcon to the origin of Fantastic Four, and luckily, it doesn’t spoil the origin story. It gives an unexpected turn to the origin of the intense cosmic radiation that hit the group. The tale of Spyre and the Unparalleled was an okay sort, but the fear among the people and everyone was too much, making them paranoid and ungrateful at times. And the Overseer has Lex Luthor kind of battle armor. Okay! And also, the episode with Mole Man felt very redundant. Overall, it’s a good read, with the recent MCU movie Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
