Check Out Mike Allred's FF Covers

To commemorate the new FF team, Allred has given us a look at the variant covers to issue's 2 to 5.

You may have heard that artist Mike Allred is going to be taking over artistic duties on some Marvel titles. Recently, he appeared alongside Mark Waid on DAREDEVIL #17 in what turned out to be one of the series' better issues. Not too long ago Marvel announced that Allred's talents would be appearing on other titles as well. Earlier this month is was announced that Allred would be joining writer Matt Fraction as the artist on FF, the new Future Foundation title.

Not only would the series be getting a new creative team, but it will see all-new members as well. The new team will include Ant-Man, Medusa, and She-Hulk; certainly a big change from the focus on the Fantastic Four kids. To commemorate the new team, Allred illustrated four variant covers to issue's 2 to 5 of FF, each cover spotlighting an individual members. When placed side by side, the covers create one large image of the team. Ant-Man will grace the cover of the series' second issue, Medusa will be the variant for issue #3, Miss Thing will be featured on the variant cover for issue #4 and She-Hulk on issue #5.

What do you think of the covers? Are you looking forward to Allred's more permanent return to Marvel comics in the upcoming FF series? Have you been reading FF and FANTASTIC FOUR? Are you excited about the changes to the team and to the creators on the titles?

Here's one book I can pretty firmly say that I plan on skipping once I start reading some Marvel this fall.

All the people here who are immediately writing this off are either young, boring, or both.

I like David Finch, Steve McNiven and the Tony Daniel's of the world too, but variety is the spice of life.

Not everything needs to be super grim and realistic in tone. These are comic books after all.

TESTIFY!

Pretty dull if you ask me... I appreciate the art style but yeah. Maybe a different pose or background would have helped? Either way this looks like the "WTH" team of the year. I'll get the first one to see what all the fuzz is about.

@Zeeguy91: Standing next to Medusa, no wonder he's standing that way.

I don't understand why everyone is stating it looks TOO silly, they're funny books, they shouldn't be serious all the time.

I really don't like it, it looks like someone is trying to put some hip art in comics. Not my thing at all. Neither do I like the composition of this team. How can the FF keep on being a family with those guys aboard.

my only question, why is medusa part of the team? isn't she supposed to be some sort of royalty? or a space dignitary?

When I first saw this comic's art and the team, I was put off a little. I was sure it was not for me. Now, I like the idea of the art and the odd team. There are plenty of comics with the same old characters in them. THis is different and I'm giving it a chance just because of that. Who knows?
