pretty bad...:
i love the ultimate fantastic four, i think it's the best ultimate book out there (ok tied with ultimate spider-man). the vols. 1-3, and 5-6 are great. but this one sucks. you really don't need to read it at all, i think maybe they were in between writers/artists at the time and just got someone to fill in on issues 19-20. the annual isn't that great either, it just introduces the inhumans (basically johnny meets crystal).

Volume IV is merely okay, here's hoping the previous are better . . . .:
I picked up "Ultimate Fantastic Four, vol. 4: Inhuman," at my local library yesterday, and though many may think what I did was premature, I borrowed it and read it anyway. The paperback is pretty thin thus only containing issues #19 (Think Tank Part One), #20 (Think Tank Part Two - Finale), and #1 Annual issue (Inhuman). First off to get this out of the way: The cover art is probably the biggest missleader for me. Being someone who is an avid follower of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN (who artist, Mark Bagley... more info
