Alex ross fantastic four full circle6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() While Ross’s kinetic artwork presents each cosmic enemy as a villain to be reckoned with, the series of encounters and battles don’t build to any real conflict or climax. Unfortunately, the script doesn’t do justice to the stunning visuals. But breaking from his usual style, Ross employs heavy inks and a bold, almost clashing color palette to recall the art of Kirby and the vibrancy of ’60s-era superhero comics. Ross is known for capturing the grandiosity of superheroes in fully painted artwork, and here he uses the dynamic angles to draw the Four as they hurtle over fantastic cities and nightmare-scapes. After a mysterious figure from the Four’s past breaks into their headquarters bearing an alien menace, the team soon find themselves in the Negative Zone, where they encounter a series of their greatest enemies including Annihilus and the Nega-Man. Eisner winner Ross ( Marvels), in his first solo written and drawn superhero adventure, offers a majestically drawn sequel to a 1966 Fantastic Four story line by comics legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. ![]()
