To be honest, I've been a casual Fantastic Four fan most of my life. Picking up an issue here or there is usually how I'd catch up with what was going on in their comic. There were other Marvel characters that I had more of a connection with, sadly. Thanks to my fascination with animation over the last year and the fact that I needed a good 'Superhero' fix, I decided to get the complete first season of Fantastic Four:World's Greatest Heroes. The show itself is about a group of superheroes that gain their powers after cosmic ray exposure. Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) is a scientist who can stretch his body like a rubber band. Ben Grimm (The Thing) is super strong and almost indestructible. Susan Storm (The Invisible Woman) can turn invisible and create force fields at will while her somewhat younger brother Johnny (The Human Torch) can manipulate fire at will. What sets this show apart from other incarnations of the Fantastic Four is the look of the show. Moonscoop gave this show a more anime look to it. It's really colorful with a blend of 2-D digital animation with 3-D digital animation. Another thing is its' humor which is spot-on with the comics. Other Marvel alumni make an appearance such as: The Hulk, She-Hulk, Iron Man, The Sub-Mariner, and more.
The 26 episodes include nine episodes never broadcast in America and are arranged in the order that they were meant to be shown. Episodes include: audio commentary, three featurettes("From Origins To Animation","Rise Of The Rogues", "Traveling To New Dimensions") which deal with the origins of the FF-Various FF Villains-the show's design and animation process and more.
I love this new approach to the Fantastic Four and am glad I bought the first season DVD set. I highly recommend it.

This is easily the best F4 cartoon made yet. The personalities and chemistry of the group is pretty spot on the those of the comic. For the first time ever we get to see Ronan and Accuser and Dragon Man in animated form. If your a Marvel fan, you've gotta pick this up. I'm very happy with this purchase and have thorougly enjoyed it.

After borrowing the first volume from the local library, I was pretty well turned off to the series, but then there was a discount copy of volume 2 at BigLots...after that, I was hooked. I definitely enjoyed the skrull and Accuser story arcs that spanned several episodes in that volume. I decided that it warranted another look, and I wasn't disappointed. The writing is witty and memorable, and it was with the outside chance of seeing the frightful four, that I wanted to get this one, thinking that the zombie four might make an appearance. Still, even though Galactus is missing, this is probably Marvel's best animated product yet - the animation is simply superb - like a good penciler.

Ok, so maybe its not the worlds greatest cartoon about heroes, but this box set is pretty amazing still. I was VERY skeptical about this series when it started airing on TV. I didn't fall in love with the look right away. I hated the movies and this seemed to be based off of the movie version of the team. Things were not looking good for the latest animated FF. Then something happened that changed how I felt completely: I watched the show. IT'S AWESOME! The animation is great. The character design totally works. The voice acting really suits the characters and the animation is beautiful. I watched one of these DVDs recently on a friends MAC and it looked even better! The colors and clarity really leaped out on a higher definition television. But back to the boxed set:
This set contains over 20 episodes. Most of the major FF villians are featured and even some heroes make appearances on a few episodes. Marvel comics fans will be happy to learn that the main producers of the show are Craig Kyle and Chris Yost. These guys have a huge love for the Marvel U and really treat the FF with respect. You can tell that it's comics fans who are writing the stories and not some disinterested Hollywood writer who's just getting handed a check. There are some visual elements put in there just for the fans, even if they have nothing to do with the episode plot-wise. Little touches like that were some of what really drew me into the show.
I've read some bad reviews for this series and I really couldn't disagree more. This series is wonderful, funny, exciting and just gets better and better as the episodes go on. I was reluctant to give this a shot, but I'm so glad that I did. Any fans of the Fantastic Four comics or movies should definitely own this. Fans of superhero animation should get a copy as well. This is a series that I will definitely watch again and again. My only fear is that there may not be a season 2...
