FF: Season One gets another great review, this time from USA TODAY:

“Fantastic Four: Season One is an outstanding beginning to a new series, and one that will spark the inner comic geek of anyone who gives it a chance.”

“Marquez’s art gives the adventure a contemporary feel — Mole Man looks like a guy who just crawled out of a subterranean environment — and depicts the team’s powers with dynamic realism.”

Adam W Kepler and George Gene Gustines give a glowing review of Fantastic Four: Season One for the New York Times.  Some choice quotes:

“As a gateway nerd drug, the book is a success[...]I can’t think of a better way to draw in new readers looking for more.”

“I’m eager to read more.”

“There were a lot of great moments, particularly in the dynamics between Reed Richards and Sue Storm, the heads of the superhero family.”

“ The art is impressive and I especially enjoyed David Marquez’s design of the Thing in particular. Every crack in his rocky physique is present and accounted for.”

“Everyone was easy on the eyes, particularly Johnny Storm and his six-pack abs.”
