The NZA Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 ^^fuck that, Hickman + Epting tore it up this run. best FF ive read in a while. anyone else read it? shit...i'm not nearly a fan of the team, but that was touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 the way he died made no sense, he could've just gone nova add that to the fact that death in the Marvel Universe is about as set-in-stone as Robert Plant wanting to do a Zeppelin reunion tour and this means basically jack shit. Once the book gets a new writer the status quo will be restored, I garuntee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 oh wow nostradamus, will the sun also rise tomorrow? did you read it? there #'s were a little too many (in the billions) and he also had no way back either way anyway, that's true of any franchise book evar, shouldn't stop you from enjoying these stories. i cant imagine why you'd read superhero stories at all if that's the case.

Iambaytor Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I guess it's also because I haven't really enjoyed any Fantastic Four books ever, I've read arcs here and there but never found a great one (and don't throw that bullshit Mark Millar wrote out as a shining example, because it was not) not to mention with this death now (i think) every single member of the Fantastic Four has died now. Their deaths to me, now, mean about as much as a Norman Osbourne death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 did Thing die? im pretty sure its happened but i cant recall when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I forget the official details of how he died, but it culminated in the 3 remaining members meeting "God" who was a cartoonist that looked and acted suspiciously like Jack Kirby, who "drew" The Thing back to life. Jack Kirby-God also turned him into a rock-ape again despite the fact that he resurrected as good old Ben Grimm simply because it's "more interesting." Jack Kirby-God is a dick.

Drifter Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Remember that article I posted about Spiderman where Peter Parker dies and gives birth to himself with organic web shooters; it also has the one about the Thing in it at #3.

The NZA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Future Foundation Originally Posted by Hickman: When I took this job, I spent a lot of time reading old issues and really trying to figure out exactly what makes the FF tick: What works, what doesn't work, what used to work, but no longer does... and finally, what has the potential to work - in other words, what new things I can do to enhance the book's legacy and not diminish it. This - the relaunch and the renaming - will make a lot more sense once we get to the other side, but for now, everyone should hopefully just check it, enjoy the ride, and know that my motives are pure. yeah, reed is really taking the death to heart here, heh.

APANCHALYPSE RETURNS Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ...saw this was tweeted earlier today, choose to pretend it wasn't happening... God why? I guess I'm glad I was forced got outta comics at this time. Wow. Dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 it's a bit too "new FF" ish (haha, that was some shit) for me too, but you know? Hickman's done no wrong by me so far, man's shat gold on all ive read. his run so far on the book has been one of the best ive read, im down for the ride (so far). what's funny is, if you just swap thing for stark or somebody, this would be hands-down the most intelligent team in the marvel U.

Iambaytor Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Does Spider-Man really need another super-team/outfit for his repertoire? He's getting as bad as Wolverine these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 he really is, thankfully he's got a job in his regular book cause man, jokes in the team books aside, the fact he's on so many of them and was still broke for so long makes his teammates huge dicks. surprised you didn't comment on a costume he's gotta owe a dollar to anti-venom for, or that spot guy from his animated.

Visitant Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I thought Spider-man already had the FF on his list of teams joined back in the early 90s. Maybe i'm mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Glad to see the team so heartbroken over this lol... customes are win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 its so hard to look at that cover with reed's shit-eating grin and not think: boy, i really hope this isnt them coming back from the funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 he really is, thankfully he's got a job in his regular book cause man, jokes in the team books aside, the fact he's on so many of them and was still broke for so long makes his teammates huge dicks. surprised you didn't comment on a costume he's gotta owe a dollar to anti-venom for, or that spot guy from his animated. It totally does. Anti-Venom really only has the color scheme, really so it doesn't bother me. Nor does the similar color scheme to the Spot (Who was totally in the comics. the version that was actually cool was in the animated series, and Ultimate Spider-Man) What really concerns me is this almost looks like the cover for Venture Brothers Season 5. (Give the Thing a Brock Mullet and we'd be good) And Mr. Fantastic's shit-eating grin is nothing new, I mean I think this is the first time a Fantastic Four member died by someone's hands other than his own. (I should make a website compiling all the times Mr. Fantastic, man of super-science has solved his problems by shooting them with a ridiculous looking gun.) Also: yes, Spider-Man was a member of the New Fantastic Four (composed of Grey Hulk, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man) they weren't particularly good books, but I'll be damned if the covers didn't look badass on a trapper keeper. (Unfortunately this is the case with most things involving Ghost Rider) So that means that the Fantastic Four have had Spider-Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, She-Hulk, She-Thing, the other Thing that looked like those rock guys from the Death of Superman SNES game, Black Panther, and Storm. Possibly this is because they cannot count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 ^^fuck that, Hickman + Epting tore it up this run. best FF ive read in a while. anyone else read it? shit...i'm not nearly a fan of the team, but that was touching. No, didn't read it but I kinda wish I had before I read spoilers on the death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 that admittedly sucked; i heard USA today and other rags like that had shit spoiled the day it hit stands. ill tell you this: it was a good death, shit was well done. ive read it twice, will prolly go back to that arc sometime.

archangel Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 yea, it was touching. Dude went out like a bad-ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 /agreed. its one of those finales that did way more justice than i thought it would've, and i like to think it'd work as a stand-alone but its admittedly hard, given the inevitable return of johnny, to not feel that it'll be a bit cheapened when that happens. at the very least? the whole team really oughta look at him differently - i.e., instead of "oh, that's our pretty-boy johny, haha!" shit, a bit've respect knowing that dude will literally take on (and be eaten by) an army that looks like it came from hell, just to buy his people a chance to escape. i mean, we act like everyone in the marvel U is all noble and shit, but how many characters would really do this, and basically say "i trust reed will fix this somehOH GOD IT HURTS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 ...have you picked up FF 588? I haven't gotten this teary eyed since this Diana asked Alfred how he felt about Bruce's death and Alfred responded "I've just lost my son."

Jables Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 God you're gay Completely agreed though. And yeah, entering this late in the game and knowing who it was going to be(loved that pretty much everyone wwas in a goddamned mexican stand-off to keep the fans guessing) somehow took nothing away from the impact of the event. I read Valeria's statement of 'dad always leaves a back door' as a kind of caveat though, and seeing that Annihilus-bot or w/e that was present Reed with the tattered remains of the uniform just reinforced that he's gonna be in there somewhere, being kept alive of amnesiac or something. True resonance would be Namor finding him living in the streets like a bum, and waterboarding or setting fire to him to regain his memory/identity.

archangel Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 the new FF stuff is pretty cool...don't know if anyone is following it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 off an on, im months behind but i kinda blame that on Fear Itself, ive just got little hype going. Ive been sleeping on this and Amazing Spidey both, prolly at my loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
