On my quest to read all the House of M side stories and this was....not my favorite. The Fantastic Four story was pretty good, but the Iron Man one was not. Even the art in that one was terrible, in my opinion. Yikes. Probably one I could have skipped.
I am borderline obsessed with Doctor Doom content, and I really enjoyed the Fantastic Four story. Can't say I cared much for the Iron Man tie-in though.
The Fantastic Four stuff was . . . OK . . . .Doctor Doom is always good even when it's not that good.The Iron Man stuff was pretty weak. Too many Howard Stark stories in the world. They're not good.
Fantastic Four series is okay but predictable.Iron Man series is poorly drawn and the story is "meh".Both series are unnecessary tie-ins to the main House of M story line.3/5
Loved the FF storyline with Dr. Doom vs. Magneto; but wasn't into the Iron Man angle as much. Also thought the art in the FF storyline was much more to my taste...
Fantastic Four was pretty good. Kind of dark and creepy with the family lovin on Doom. It must be fun to write this alternate universe stuff because they can kill off whoever they want and it doesn't effect the regular continuum.Iron Man was okay, but I got kind of sick of Howard Stark treating Tony like crap. I felt like It was a little over done. Still not sure why Tony made the decision he did in the end about Magneto.
"after reading the house of M stories, i realize how disconnected they all are and i dont like it"
The strength of this volume comes from the FANTASTIC FOUR issues, for sure. John Layman has a pretty solid grasp on what makes Dr. Doom tick--even after being given everything he could want within the context of the world he inhabits, Doom is ultimately unsatisfied and craves more. Though why Doom's greatest wish is fulfilled, instead of the four members of the Fantastic Four, is an exercise in imagination left up to the reader. (My headcanon: Wanda created a memory of a doomed space flight led
Eh, okay... this wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. This installation of the House of M series shoves two story arcs in one binding. The first is the Fantastic Four alternate universe that they must live in Wanda Maximoff's altered mindscape and the other is Iron Man's. Suffering a severe mental break that winds up altering the entire world, Wanda Maximoff has affected every mind on the planet to believe that they are living in a different reality without knowing they are in a different rea...
In the alternate reality that the Scarlett Witch created, the Fantastic Four are now comprised of Doom, his wife and his son, along with "it", who is Ben Grimm in this Thing form. Reed, Sue and Johnny all died in the reentry after their landmark space adventure, leaving Doom to use his mystic abilities to fill the gap. Working for Magneto (of course) has left Doom very embittered and causes him to plan and wait to spring his trap. The Thing has to choose between Magneto and Doom (which is not a
So far the Iron Man and Fantastic Four issues have been my least favorite parts of House of M. Both seeies focus on some of Marvel's most arrogant and unlikable (IMO) characters (Dr Doom and Iron Man).
My golden boy, the world is yours. The Fantastic Four part was fun, I like Doom, but the Iron Man part didn't really catch me, neither story-wise, nor art-style-wise. And it didn't necessarily connect much to the main storyline.
The Fantastic Four issue was okay, I really enjoyed it. I loved the fight between Dr. Doom and Magneto. The Iron Man issue was meh, I didn’t really like it. I didn’t like the art style nor the story.
“My golden boy… The world is yours.” Howard was right, Tony did him dirty. TF.On the F4 issues, my poor guy Ben :( I would’ve done the same.
This is probably the worst House of M spinoff, which is a shame because it had the potential to be really good. The biggest hurdle is trying to tell two stories with unlikeable protagonists. They took a gamble making a Fantastic 4 series without most of the key members and revolving it around Dr Doom. Initially this was a shock but I enjoyed how they really played with the grey line of good and evil. But this still fell into the trap of another ending that didn't challenge the status quo.The Iro...
Fantastic 4 good. Iron Man bad.
The issue 3 of the two tie-in are really meh, but it can be a cool "what if" if you want to read it that way
You did that hungry!! I loved it, every twist and turn caught me by surprise!! I can’t wait to read more of your books....
Collecting two 3-issue tie-ins to Marvel's House of M event, one being a 4-star story (Fantastic Four), and the other a 2-star story (Iron Man)."House of M: Fantastic Four", with pencils by Scot Eaton, written by John Layman. I really like Layman's "CHEW" series, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out he wrote this story as well. In the House of M reality, the Fantastic Four never were. Instead, their pod crashed from space and the only passenger still alive was Ben Grimm, whom Victor vo...
More corners of the House of M reality warp are uncovered in this dual collection volume. Writer John Layman sets out the history of the FF, which sees Ben "It" Grimm as the sole survivor of a space expedition that crash lands in Latveria. Using science and arcane magics, Victor von Doom transforms himself, his wife Valeria, and his adopted son Kristoff into powerful beings capable of rivaling the house of Magneto. When von Doom's mother plays Victor's ego, the FF head into a battle with the Max...
