    Fantastic Four

    Team » Fantastic Four appears in 5740 issues.

    An intrepid group of astronauts: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm originally received their powers after being exposed to an immense amount of cosmic radiation during a trip into space. Mutated and given strange powers by this exposure, they became the Fantastic Four and dedicated their abilities to the good of humanity.

    The End???

    In a press conference with Jonathan Hickman and Tom Brevoort discussing the death of one of the Fantastic Four in the upcoming story arc '3', Brevoort made a blunt statement about the future of the FF: 

    But there's nowhere that the events of "3" will be felt more than the series itself. At the end of the press conference, when asked if there will even be a book called FANTASTIC FOUR put out by Marvel in one year's time, editor Tom Brevoort put it bluntly.

    "No, there will not."

    Personally, I don't like when they end a series for something gimmicky. Like, if after a year or so the dead member comes back and now we start renumbering things in a new series. Regardless of what happens, I am skeptical of this cancellation. Any other thoughts?

    Bring on the Terrific Three! The Titillating Two or even the soon to be best-seller Grimm-Army Of One.

    well, they may end their title 
    but I highly doubt any of the characters are going too far 
    I'm sure they'll be around 
    maybe...."Storm Siblings For Hire" or "Uncanny Mr. and Mrs. Richards?" 
    ....jk btw....

    Really sad news. I have to say I'm more devastated than exciting about reading the story arc...

    It reminds of of what they're doing with Daredevil, suggesting he and his title will also be gone (at least for a while) in the near future. I hate these kinds of gimmicks. I want my FF damn it!

    Are they ending it because of the character's death, or because sales are low? According to this chart: 
    http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25707
    Fantastic Four didn't even crack the top 50 comics in March, just below New Mutants and "Justice League the rise of Arsenal."
