Marvel Now! FF4 respect thread

this will go from issue to issue. it will probably only contain their current series (i dont have money to throw so im only supporting a few comics right now)

FF 1

not a feat but still an amazing start

Gallery

Reed creates and uses a device specifically for Fin Fang Foom

Sue Storm uses multiple force fields to protect civilians

Gallery

Johnny and Thing 1-2 KO Fin Fang Foom. this is an excellent testimony to the harmony the FF4 has as a team

as a thing fan this makes my heart jump (especially since mine was literally crushed 2 days ago) Ben and Alica are back together, and you better be happy about it or you arent an FF4 fan.

FF 2

i actually dont have this one but when i get ill be sure to add it in. sorry guys

FF 3

so in the last issue Reed had to detonate a neural bomb for some reason (i think demons from Franklins pocket dimension showed up) anyways it left Johnny Powerless "Flame Off"

ok first off Thing made a 2 in 1 reference (4th wall breaking) and he beats down guys in Mandroid armor.

Gallery

sorry this is gonna put them way the heck out of order. 2,3,1 in that order

at the end the Frightful 4 attacks Thing...

FF 4

alright so this one starts off with all the action

Gallery

almost in order.. start with the last one first then go from left to right

The FF is getting trounced by the Frightful Four oh no...

for some the next set isnt loading but basically Scott Lang (Ant-Man), She-Hulk, Darla (think She-Thing) all show up for back up (the frightful four beat them too)

Gallery

Reed and Sue use Johnny as bait for a trap (i guess this would count as a plot/CIS win) even though i think Ben and Sue together could have soloed these guys.

Gov'ment came an took their babies... :'(

FF 5

this issue is all about the FFs previous fights im not really into posting those especially since its all about recounts... no alright ill post some of them

Things recount vs the Hulk

Gallery

Dr. Doom powns Count Nefaria

Jim is back so at least the kids are kind of safe... for now but Valeria said she misses her brother. foreshadowing? maybe

this is the end for now...

@cosmicallyaware1, @oceanmaster21, @sovereign91001, @veshark what do you guys think so far (and can i get one of you guys to comment so i have room for another post pretty plz)

@kidman560:

Good start sir. Adding this to my watch list.

@kidman560: niiiiiiiiice. I just picked all these up yesterday. Only read the first so far. Not sure how I feel about the red uniforms however..............at least the art is solid.

@kidman560: this is pretty good mate

Reading through and I'm amazed with the number of throwbacks that Robinson included. Hopefully we'll get some new FF soon.

@knighthood: what series is this you're talking about and is it good. i've been looking for a good recent FF series to read. havent read any FF yet and its about time lol

@rpgesus: This thread is about the Fantastic Four run by Robinson and Kirk. It's the most recent, overall it would be called volume 5.

@rpgesus: Have you read any of Hickman's run or Waids? I really did enjoy Robinson's run as well but not as much as those two.

@cap10nate:

so i should start by reading FF vol. 1-hickman?

@rpgesus: Robinson's run is a quick read, but mainly designed as a farewell to the team. There are many old friends and foes reintroduced. I'm not sure if that would be a great starting point.

Hickman's run is amazing which is basically being wrapped up in the current Secret Wars series. It's a much longer read. Make sure to read FF as well. Then a few of the concepts carries over to New Avengers, Avengers, and then Secret Wars.

I haven't read Waid's run, but plan on it.

Waid's run comes before Hickman, but I am struggling to think if there was any real carry over from the series that you would need to know about. I would probably start with Hickman's run and if you like it, go back and read Waid's as well John Byrne's run from 80s which is my favorite FF run along with Stan and Jack's original run.

Hickman's run goes from 570 to 588 and 600 through 611 as well as 23 issues of the FF (Future Foundation) series that starts part way through the run. All together, it is a fantastic run and one of my favorite Marvel stories ever.

@rpgesus: Comixology is doing a Fantastic Four sale at the moment since the movie is coming out. There are ten collections you can try.

@cap10nate: thanks! Perfect timing

@rpgesus: Looking at the available books, I would definitely pick up Books of Doom written by Ed Brubaker. It is an extended origin for Doom and is one of my favorite mini series of all time.

I'm not the biggest fan of Robinson but I have to say his FF run was some really good stuff. Solid writing, strong characterisation, a good understanding of FF and Marvel lore, a suitable balance between the light hearted and dark tense emotional moments (not like some grounded gritty incarnations of the FF), it was a nice way to close out their series even if it was undeservedly so.

The Nefaria/Doom feat seems like WIS to big up Doom. If it were that easy The Avengers would never have had a hard time with the dude. Or with Wonder Man when he was against "everything" they stand for and trying to destroy them.
