Thoughts on The Fantastic Four as The Great American Novel? It is an extremely extensive, borderline schizo explanation of how the author rationalizes the titular team’s story. The author has some interesting takes on the characters, as well as several genuinely thorough explanations of meta events far before my time, and frankly I just don’t understand how it seems to have slipped through the cracks. The Original Marvel Universe, in a similar vein, seems to get brought up 10x as often for reasons unknown. Both sites seem very interesting for relatively similar reasons.
