"And this is it, the final volume of Hickman's Fantastic Four run. I realised too late that the last two volumes of FF should be read together with the last two volumes of F4, switching from one trade to the other every issue, so I probably missed something here and there. Still, just like the final volume of FF, this one consists of mostly standalone one-shots or two-parters, and they're are all good. There was no endgame, though � Hickman's actual story ended with Fantastic Four volume 5, so these last books in both series just tie various little loose threads together. It was a highly enjoyable run, although I did get very confusing and convoluted somewhere in the middle, and I don't feel like the payoff was entirely worth it. Considering this series as a dry run for Hickman's true Marvel magnum opus, Avengers, Fantastic Four laid some solid groundwork for everything that is to come later. But as a series on its own, it wasn't as good as Secret Warriors or Avengers, in my opinion. Still, I had a lot of fun with these characters, and wouldn't mind revisiting this run a couple of years later to see if maybe I can grasp more of it."
