Scott's Take: Fantastic Four: A Family (Anti)Matter by Stacy McAnulty and Matt Kaufenberg (illustrator)
Fantastic Four: A Family
(Anti)Matter
by Stacy McAnulty, and Matt Kaufenberg (illustrator), is a book geared towards
young readers that I read from my local library. Johnny is bored one day and
accidentally opens a hole into the negative zone (an antimatter universe). It
is up to him and the rest of the Fantastic Four to stop it before it destroys
their universe.
The book is full of awesome artwork with
fun background details and great characterization of each member of the team.
This is a fun, if rather short read befitting the age group, that also includes
scientific explanations for kids on what happened at the end. This is a light
hearted read and was pretty enjoyable even for an older reader like myself.

Scott's Take: Marvel The Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Fun by Jeffery Brown
Marvel The Uncanny X-Men: Days of
Future Fun
by Jeffery Brown, author and illustrator, is a fun read. This is a children’s
book that has Professor X trying to raise his young X-men as children in short
little comedy skit segments. A number of X-Men are featured such as Storm,
Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and more. This is a lighthearted book with no
real plot--- just humor.
The skits range from the X-Men playing
hide and seek to trying to steal the cookie jar from Professor X. There are
scenes where Magento is the substitute teacher for Professor X. Even the New
Mutants stop by briefly for a skit. The illustrations are colorful if a little
simple.
Apparently, there are several Marvel
books and Star Wars books by the same author. I had never heard of these books
before I saw this one on my local library website. This seems like a fun series
to read with your kids.
