Not too bad


(4 stars)

A nice way to pass the time, but if you expect comic book "continuity" you'll be disappointed. Seems G rated, maybe PG. And because of time constraints, some things aren't well explained, so some things seem to happen to the FF for "no reason." If you've heard the Superman radio show, or The Adventures of the Falcon, they are both better. But forget all that. And forget that, for no good reason, Submariner has a Transylvanian accent. Just enjoy the FF series for what it is; a free comic book on audio tape.

Four times as good

Fantastic narration for a late night listen.
