The story (and its replacement team) have been fan-favorites ever since, though the magic of Simonson and Adams's collective sense of both action and humor has rarely been repeated – especially in the pages of Fantastic Four.īest Fantastic Four stories - Fantastic Faux (Image credit: Marvel Comics)įollowing Jonathan Hickman's years-long Fantastic Four run, writer Matt Fraction took over both the core title and its sister title, FF. And of course, the whole thing culminates in the return of the original Fantastic Four (and a massive team-up between both teams) in issue #350. Simonson's Fantastic Four isn't as prominent in the writer/artist's catalog as his Thor run, but this gem with artist Arthur Adams takes the Fantastic Four to a somewhat meta-level by having the team be replaced by some of Marvel's hottest characters at the time – Hulk, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man – all while drolly pointing out the marketing potential of the team-up in clever cover blurbs. It may seem strange to have a story on this list that doesn't even feature the characters we usually think of as the Fantastic Four, but Walt Simonson's energetic story of an unlikely replacement team is too much fun not to include on this list.
