Yes, it is bad. You're a horrible person and a shame to the comics community. You should hate yourself.

Really, though; my opinion is pretty much the same as yours. I have nothing against the FF, but they don't interest me as much as other teams do.

I've just started their current title, and it's quite good.

I just bought the Fantastic Four Volume 1 Omnibus from Hickman. I think they're interesting, but I haven't read enough yet.

They're my favourite heroes since childhood. I always found their adventures more fantastical than the other books.

Love the FF. Byrne's run was great as was Hickman's and Waids not to mention the start with Stan Lee. I have also been enjoying Robinsons run a good deal.

yes reading their current title now (loving it poor sue she and benn seem to get it the worse every time this team goes through something). I enjoyed future foundation as well.

I want to, I really really do.Yet every time I've read their comics, I just shrug

Stick to the Doom Patrol.

I have nothing against them. I've read a bit of Stan Lee's run, and it was okay (his work on Spider-Man was better). I do plan to read Mark Waid's run of Fantastic Four ('cause Mark Waid's awesome) as well as Ultimate Fantastic Four, but right now, I'm not really a fan of them. I liked the first movie when I was younger. I watched it again a little while ago, and it sucked pretty badly. Rise of the Silver Surfer was a bit better, but it was still pretty bad, too. I have seen a bit of the '90s cartoon, and that adapted the Galactus storyline much better than Rise of the Silver Surfer.

I've never been a fan, just can't get into them. I see why others like them, but I just can't get into them.

The Fantastic Four appeal more to sci-fi fans. I enjoy the Hickman stuff but more than anything I love the rogue gallery. The Fantastic Four have introduced some huge names; Galactus,Doctor Doom, Silver Surfer, Terrax, the Skrulls and Super Skrull, the Frightful Four, etc. Galactus and Doom are two of my favorites.

I don't care for them. To be honest, I never really understood the love for the Thing. I don't find him that interesting. I like Sue and Johnny... that's it.

I like the Fantastic Four. They've been around for so long and most characters in Marvel have interacted with them in some way or another. I never read them exclusively since I was more an X-Men fan but I've made a point of keeping myself up to date with them.

Someone on here suggested I read the Ultimate version of them, and based on what they've said, it sounds like something I would really enjoy.

Seconded, they're criminally underrated as a comic book series, superhero team and family dynamic. Plus their superhero/cosmic sci fi adventures are usually intriguing on a consistent basis. Still, I guess it takes the right writers to make the FF interesting. Bryne, Roy Thomas, Marv Wolfman, Roger Stern, Mark Waid and Hickman have had some of the best runs yet some of these are overlooked in the comic industry.

I've read very little fantastic 4, but mostly they never appealed to me. Too light hearted and comedic. (Which appears to make me the target audience for the present ongoing and upcoming movie)

I did like the 2006 fatastic four worlds greatest heroes cartoon

I love doom, but I think he works better as a avengers and Thor villian (read the laviterian Prometheus it's really great)

I did really like all the f4 characters and what happens with them in the ultimate doomsday trilogy a hell of alot, and evil Reed in hick and ultimate a was a epic villain.

Marvel's best team..(over Avengers and X-Men) For me, it's not even close.

I really like them. Everytime I pick up one of their books, I have fun and find myself enjoying the stories. The Fantastic Four differs from the other team books in that they still focus on adventures and superheroics, whereas the other titles focus more on angst and the combat side of superheroics. They've had quite a few good story arcs in the past year or so.

Yeah, basically what I wanted to say, but you beat me to it.

Yes and no for me. I like them in concept and really enjoy Human Torch's team ups with Spiderman and I love the kids too. However, there isn't a whole lot of stories that I love. I used to hate Hickman's run but I gave it another go and actually found that save for the Inhumans part, I enjoyed it. I am currently giving Mark Waid's run a go but its still too early to tell how I feel about it. I have read bits and pieces outside of those two runs that I did not enjoy at all. I probably won't read anything older than Waid's run because I don't like Marvel before the 2000s.
