In fact, if you started with "Surrender," you missed out on the best years...

You used the term "praised," not "liked," there is a difference...

Don't worry, All good all around. Hi!

Dear Bartle, I am always perplexed when I see evaluations being made based on the age of the object under discussion. Surely in 2007, many things from the '60s are considered outdated and often appear excessively out of fashion, but in my opinion, things should be assessed mainly for what they meant at the time of their creation. Specifically, the F4 revolutionized (at least in America) the way series were conceived, giving rise to all that slew of Spin-offs that, for better or worse, characterized the entire Marvel (but also DC) production thereafter. This doesn't mean that all the output of this comic has been excellent, but there are things (I think of the entire "Galactus" Series from the mid-'60s, for example) that, if you'll permit me to use the much-hated term, have been seminal for all the subsequent superhero stories. Cheers!

Dear ghemison, I care for you deeply, but the Fantastic Four and their related Pantheon are among the most successful creations of Stan Lee... Goodbye!

Well... dear Poltergeist, this is proof that the world is full of strange people... ;-)
And anyway, joking aside, it’s only praised by the most devoted fans...

Yes, it could have gone worse...

As in every revolution, those who have been swept away are the weakest and the least skilled, and Metal is no exception.

The usual elegant comment, huh, Alessio?

Once I was young and strong, now I am old and rubbery.
