Move over, Mr. Fantastic - the progeny of Marvel's First Family has a brand-new digest! Franklin Richards returns with this brand-new collection! Join Franklin and his robot pal H.E.R.B.I.E. as they head into Reed's lab for all kinds of fantastic fun, amazing adventures, and more trouble than you can shake an Ultimate Nullifier at! This compilation is bound to bring out the kid in every reader! Collects Franklin Richards: Spring Break, Not-So-Secret Invasion, Summer Smackdown, and Sons of Geniuses.
These "Franklin Richards" books are a real hoot. Transforming Reed & Sue's often-bland son into a budding juvenile deliquent, these stories are full of gleeful mayhem as young Franklin (drawn and scripted very much in the style of the awesome comic strip "Calvin & Hobbes") keeps raiding his dad's super-science lab in search of some gizmo that'll either help him with his homework or maybe just keep from being bored. He is pursued by his robotic nanny, H.E.R.B.I.E., who clucks and fusses ineffectually as Franklin shrinks himself, alters reality, de-evolves his classmates at school or disrupts the space-time continuum (again!). The comedic beats are perfect, the artwork and stories are really fun and -- best of all -- it's one of precious few mainstream comics today that is actually okay for really young readers to get into. My kid loves it! A very fun series... highly recommended! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
