Review: Fantastic Four Epic Collection 22: This Flame, This Fury

Oh man, this was good.

Don't be fooled by the extremely 90's cover, this volume is full of some excellent issues. Tom DeFalco writes classic FF stories in the best possible sense from the types of adventures that they go on to perfectly capturing each of the characters' voices. There's a lot going on in each issue, but the way that DeFalco skillfully juggles plots and subplots, comedy, and the various team members' soap opera-esque personal lives is, dare I say, Claremont-ian.

Yes, there are some of the classic 90's excesses on display (and Paul Ryan seems to be channeling his inner Jim Lee), but most of them have solid narrative reasons for being there and are unfairly taken out of context whenever they show up in the latest "Worst Parts of 90's Comics" article. For example, yes, Sue Storm's infamous "boob window"-costume is ridiculous, but it's not cheesecake for its own sake; it's a visual signifier of the her internal psychic struggle with the Malice personality. She undergoes a number of changes in personality due to this, and the provocative costume is merely one of these (the various characters around her also notice and comment on it).

My only gripes with This Flame, This Fury are that the Infinity War-crossover can be slightly hard to follow since only the FF issues are collected. Also, this Epic includes two Annuals, which, to put it nicely, aren't very good (though there is a Franklin Richards-Ben Grimm short story that was very charming).

I can't recommend this Epic enough. Not only is it better than its reputation might suggest, but, in my opinion from what I've read, the DeFalco run ought to be placed in the top tier of Fantastic Four comics.

My latest (and probably last) haul from Comic Factory, though I hope to be proven wrong!

Anyway, all the trades in the store were 50% off so you bet your ass I bought as much as I could get my hands on!

The Spidey trade and Issue #7 of Strange I got at Red River, thankfully, they had the variant cover I wanted for it.

And the pops? Well, Hot Topic, obviously. Where else am I gonna find exclusive pops from?

G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̏̃n̵͙̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀Wa̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉

It was a simple mission. Damian was working with Father to confirm the existence of a Lazarus Pit below Gotham, as Ra's Al Ghul speculated. And they had found it, deep in the caves below Gotham. A Pit the size of an Olympic sized swimming pool, bubbling and steaming. He'd only looked away for a moment.

"Kin-slayer."

Standing waist deep in the water stood Damian's reflection. The hair might be white, and the eyes glowing with the waters, but it was his face. But not his face alone.

Danyal's ghost glared at him. "Get in the water."

Father threw a batarang at him, but the metal flew straight through his head like it was air. Danyal didn't even glance at him, his eyes fixed on Damian. "Get in the water," he ordered again. He stepped closer to the shore and the green water sloshed up the bank higher than it was before. "Or I'll raise the tide so high, all of Gotham will die. So get in the water."

Damian's heart jumped into throat. "Wait-"

"Get in the water."

Father shoved Damian behind him, as if it would protect him, as if he could stop Danyal. "Stop this, please-" If he could just explain-

Another step and the waters surged forward, nearly touching Father's boots. "I'll make whirlpools so profound, your entire family will drown," he promised.

"NO!" Not his brother, his kind brother-

"THEN GET IN THE WATER!" Danyal snarled, revealing monstrously sharp teeth and a black tongue from Damian's poison. "G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̟̰͙̏̃n̵͙̝̟̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀w̵̜͍̤̌a̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉͜!̷̡͔́̀̽" He lunged and Father pushed them back down the passage they'd come. "Don't mistake this for a bluff, brother. You've lived more than enough. Just get in the water." Damian swallowed, throat dry. Was this Danyal's revenge? Did he finally have to face what he had done?

"Robin, who is this?" Father snapped, trying to keep retreating down the cave. But Damian wouldn't let him; the waters, and Danyal with them, would only follow.

Danyal looked between them, scowling. "G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̟̰͙̏̃n̵͙̝̟̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀w̵̜͍̤̌a̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉͜!̷̡͔́̀̽" he snapped again. "I'll take your father and gouge out his eyes, unless you want to stop being a coward and choose to die. Now... get in the water."

Review: Fantastic Four Epic Collection 23: Nobody Gets Out Alive

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

In my review of the previous volume, I said that Tom DeFalco’s ability to juggle different plots, subplots, tones, and character development reminded me of Chris Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men run, and Nobody Gets Out Alive only cements that feeling. This is such a great run that belongs in the top tier of Marvel comics.

One of my favorite parts of the DeFalco run is that even though the A-plot will typically run for 3-6 issues at a time, each one of the Fantastic Four also has their own B-plots, many of which began in the previous volume and carry on for the entirety of this Epic (Johnny’s constantly evolving relationship with Lyja, for example). The B-plots then will affect the character’s actions during the main plots, which, then, in turn, might inform the subplots. It’s very complex plotting, but it makes for a satisfying read, because it feels like the separate parts are working together in a cohesive and organic way.

These issues are also very good, especially compared to other Marvel titles in the 90’s, in the way that they feel connected to the larger Marvel universe without getting bogged down in constant crossovers or a parade of guest-stars. Both Namor and Ant-Man (Scott Lang) join the team, and there’s a 4-issue crossover with Namor, but otherwise Fantastic Four stands on its own.

It’s worth mentioning that the art once again looks fantastic, and Paul Ryan draws every issue in this volume, aside from the 2 issues of Namor and the Annual. One thing that Ryan does especially well is maintain a nice balance between the Image look that was in trend in the early 90’s and the more traditional Marvel house style of the 80’s.

The only real downside that I can say about Nobody Gets Out Alive is that I don’t think that it would stand very well on its own; DeFalco and Ryan try to offer recaps when they can, but there’s so much going on that you need to have read the This Flame, This Fury (FF 22). To be fair, it’s not convoluted in the way that so many comics were in the 90’s, but I can’t imagine coming into this volume as a new reader.

My only other complaint is that the next volume has yet to be announced. Although I’m a big Fantastic Four fan, I hadn’t ever read any of the DeFalco run prior to this year, and, heretical as this may sound to some, it’s shaping into my favorite FF run ever. I can’t wait to see if DeFalco and Ryan can keep the title at this level, because, if so, I can read this all day.
