Rather than painting, Ross inks his lines here, which make everything feel less statically rendered and more dynamic. Ross also imitates Kirby's unconventional angles in his panel framings. The figures are a blend of Ross's realism and Kirby's expressive figures, with Reed Richards's wide, square jaw feeling like a clear tip of the hat by Ross to the King. Fantastic Four: Full Circle looks unlike anything else from his career.

It's a direct sequel to Fantastic Four #51, the iconic Kirby and Stan Lee tale "This Man. Fantastic Four: Full Circle's premise is simple, though it incorporates plenty of sci-fi concepts.
