DNX #1 Review: Marvel's X-Men/Fantastic Four Crossover Is Off to a Bland Start
Marvel's latest crossover event is off to a bland start, as DNX #1 fails to make the most of the latest alliance between the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
Doctor Doom has developed a device that transports the Fantastic Four to various locations to battle various monsters and supervillains. Mr. Fantastic assembles a time machine that allows him to transport the team to Doom's tiny kingdom for a final battle. While Galactus does not appear in the game, it is clear that he is behind the destruction of the Skrull homeworld.
Fantastic Four is a 1997 beat 'em up released on Sega Saturn and PlayStation, letting players fight through action-heavy stages as Marvel's first family. Recent coverage suggests the property is experiencing a wider resurgence across multiple media. Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday teaser prominently features the Fantastic Four, hinting at their involvement in the upcoming film event. Meanwhile, dataminers have uncovered evidence that the team could arrive as DLC characters in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, following the pattern of other Marvel fighting game roster expansions. Comic readers, however, have found less to celebrate - the team's crossover with the X-Men in the DNX series has received lukewarm reception for its execution.
