    While I did jump in at Fantastic Four #600, I decided it might be a good idea to step back and take a look at the FF series (a much more attainable near-term goal than trying to read hundreds of Fantastic Four back issues). Obviously, this issue picks up after the infamous Fantastic Four 588, so I knew why Johnny was missing - but beyond that my mind and expectations were wide open. Needless to say, I didn't have much of a clue (outside what I could glean from four line intro page) what was going on when the issue started. The good news is, I didn't really have to. I was able to pick up on the characters, their role and the current goings on very quickly. I attribute this to the great writing and pretty decent art - which painted to picture rather nicely.

    The story was really easy to follow for a new reader as well. I believe it was the introduction of Spider-Man as a new member of the "Club" that really allowed me to feel part of the story and the team, right away. As the issue presses on, we see various interactions within the team, stages of grief and how everyone is moving forward - to the future. The world and its problems did not stop because of Johnny's sacrifice.

    One of the best parts of this book was the true family feeling it portrayed. Right down to the home cooked meal and father-son disagreements. As many of you have realized, this book is definitely worth picking up, though I doubt there are many of you out there that haven't read this... If by some strange happenstance you haven't, do so. It even ends with a pretty interesting twist/cliffhanger.

    And by all means, don't listen to what Nathaniel Richards has to say...

         Cover I did not love the art for the cover. I did not really like how Sue and Reed looked in it. Reed looked tan and Sue looks like a teenage girl. Story Johnny has died and the Fantastic Four has to deal with it. The Thing deals with it by thinking it is his fault and Sue and Reed deal with it by keeping them busy. Spider-man is the replacement for Johnny because Johnny said that is who he wanted for his replacement. The Fantastic Four is now called the Future Foundation and they have ...

      What Will The Future Bring For The FF? 0

      The death of the Human Torch changed things for the Fantastic Four. Now that they're looking towards tomorrow, what will they do differently?  The Good From the beginning you get a sense of the grand scope of where Hickman and Epting want to take the series. When I first heard that the Fantastic Four series was ending and leading into the Future Foundation, I had my obvious doubts. Reading this issue, this is the only way I can see the series going. With what they're out to accomplish, it almost...
