Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer - Complete Comic Edition Reviews

• Good Buy, but....

  
  By APIJEUVFYEI8M on 2007-07-20
  These are good programs, and i think anyone would be happy to own it, BUT I'm disappointed because I purchased this product a few months earlier, before they added the silver surfer issues, and now i feel like i got the shaft. It makes me reluctant to buy any more of these, because now I feel like there's always going to be a better edition coming down the road. I was going to buy the spiderman one today, but now i want to wait in case they come out with a more inclusive version as well. They should make the silver surfer issues available either as a download or for sale as a seperate disc for $10 or so, for those of us who purchased from them in the past.
  
  

• Dr. Doom finally gets his due......

  
  By A2C296YPERUW2H on 2007-06-22
  I was very excited when Marvel and GIT Corp came out with these products. Now instead of collecting every single comic book you can now simply pop in a DVD-rom and get every single issue you could have ever dreamed of!!!
  I am a big fan of the Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer comics are simply a throw-in in which I would be happy to take. The Fantastic Four were created so amazingly like a real life family that one must give Stan Lee and Jack Kirby their due. The villains of the FF are unreal starting in issue #1 with the Mole Man and moving on with issue #4 and the Sub-Mariner. The greatest villain of the Marvel universe makes his appearance in issue #5 in the form of Dr. Doom. Doom would go on to be one of the most famous comic book villains of all time ranking up there with the Joker, Lex Luther, Darkseid, and the Green Goblin. (Also remember Star War fans that Darth Vadar's suit was influenced by Doom's). These issues also cover the famous Silver Surfer and Galactus story lines starting in issue #48. There are so many first Marvel appearances in these issues like the Skrulls, Klaw, Black Panther, Negative Zone, Blastaar, Diablo, Pyscho Man, Molecule Man, etc. that the FF simply must go down as one of the most defining comic books ever sold.
  This set is amazing and any one who does not want to pay the money for every issue (start saving because thats 750 comics) this is for you!!!!
  
  

• Great Collection but Unfair

  
  By A3A8X1Z4EY8ULK on 2007-07-25
  If you're a Marvel fan, these collections are a godsend. Collecting on DVD what would take years and thousands of dollars to collect in comic format is a boon to the reader, and that is who is truly benefitting from these collections. The only issue keeping this from being a five star collection is the annoying habit of representing material which is on a previously released DVD collection. The collected FF was released two years ago and now it has been re-released (including an additional year's worth of books) with the Silver Surfer in this collection. I understand this was timed for the release of the second FF movie but this release is unfair to those of us who purchased the original FF collection. In my opinion, the loyal Marvel fan would have been better served had the Silver Surfer been released in a compilation of cosmic titles (Captain Marvel, Nova, Quasar, etc.). Does anyone out there want a copy of First 44 Years of Fantastic Four on DVD?!?
  
  

• Brilliant product from Marvel.

  Excellent!Could'nt be happier with this DVD-ROM.Literally hundreds of Fantastic Four issues at an affordable price.
  
  

• Great value and space-saving, but hard on the eyes.

  To have the whole run of two series at your fingertips is wonderful. One accesses the disk via Acrobat Explorer, so there's no installing involved. Mac friendly. The only downside is that after a few issues, your eyes feel like they're going to pop out of your head; reading on a computer screen for any length of time is murder. They have lost the licience to do these, so once existing stock is depleted, it's gone. I love them.
  
  
• Reliving my childhood
  By AA0I4FHOO3KH2 on 2008-02-08
  While I've found that I'm too mature for some of the comic book silliness, this DVD has been a great way to relive my childhood. I had a small stack of comic books when I was a kid, many of them FF, that I read hundreds of times, but without ever really being able to follow a story arc because I didn't subscribe and lived in the middle of nowhere. It's been great fun to bounce around across decades of comics, finding the origins of Galactus and Dr. Doom.
  
  The format, of course, isn't as cozy as a real comic book, but with a decent laptop, I've been able to relax on the couch with them anyway.
  
  
• Best product for comic lovers ever
  By A35RMNYHR9SAA3 on 2008-03-09
  Complete run, easy to use. Love, love, love this product. Shame on you Marvel for cancelling the contract with the company that produces these. I have been collecting comics for 30 years and have a massive collection, but this product was awesome for new readers that wanted to read entire collections. Unfortunately, Marvel pulled the plug, so planned collections for Thor, Daredevil and others may never see the light of day. At least we got a few before they got greedy. Snap them up from Amazon while you can, there won't be any more made!
  
  
• The most Fantastic ever!
  By ALB0VCJ8L8HI6 on 2008-03-31
  Alright, for those of you who are wondering, this is THE COMPLETE FANTASTIC FOUR! That's right, you won't ever need another collection!
  
  Although it does *not* include crossover issues, this fantastic dvd-rom includes every issue of the Fantastic Four ever published!
  
  I have been a die-hard fan of the old comics since I was ten, so when I popped this baby into my laptop, it actually brought tears to my eyes to see the full-color reproductions (scanned onto disc!!!) of the original comics, complete with the ads they ran with and everything!
  
  Of course, if you like the more modern comics, you need look no further! This collection, I believe, runs all the way up to 2005!
  
  I would also like to point out that Marvel has recently issued collections of its older comics, the seminal works in the series. A collection from the Fantastic Four series, containing about 20 issues, costs me anywhere from 10-20 dollars, and it's just newsprint bound in paper. Therefore, to get over 18000 pages in scanned comics for 40 dollars is almost ludicrous!
  
  I think my decision is clear - buy it, you'll never regret it!
  
  
• An amazing -- even fantastic -- collection!
  By A29HT9J9U4QPV5 on 2008-04-13
  GIT really did a fine job with these comic collections. Too bad Marvel is now going totally online and won't let anyone have the actual comics in hand anymore. *sigh* Oh, well -- but if you can get it used (or from GIT), go for it. It's definitely worth the money!
  
  
• Just wonderful!!
  By AR9FEY8A2VTIT on 2008-05-23
  All these comics on dvd-rom for a very low price! Don't have to worry about where I'm going to store them! A win win for me! Kudos GIT! Wish more were coming!
