That a leaning into being a family adventure book rather than a drawn out story with a mystery box is good. I wish the writer luck and continued success
I don't know why more superhero books don't follow that format. I really like that I'm getting a new story every issue or couple of issues. Nice and fun. This is a really good series.
You’d think that the big two would remember by now that the best way to generate sales is to push out quality books with decent stories in each issue. I don’t see why it’s so strange for them to dismiss that customers would want to feel like the 4 or 5 dollars they just spent on a comic has them owning a complete story IN that comic
It ditches the kids because north is a homosexual who like Bendis can’t be assed to read comics from before his run, it ignores and hand waves that conflict with all it can just to split the team up because, again, he’s a fricking hack, and now it’s gotten even worse and full “LEL le comix are so wacky! But thaaaaaats comix amirite!?! xD”
It’s written by a moron for even more moronic people. Slott, for better or for worse actually tried to write FF stories. The only good thing about it is the Ross covers which only exist because he was in Full Circle mode.
But how is it WORSE than slotts run anon? All I remember from slotts run was Franklin not being a mutant for some reason, a meaningless retcon about their origins and a long winded drawn out “event” where Slott shows us that the enemies he’d been building up for over a decade were just banal plant aliens that had no motivation beyond being evil. Dino doom is more fun than anything I remember from empire
nobody's out there reading FF books because they want a stealth x-men title where the heroes aren't building a racist island to frick each other to death on
>inb4 someone calls you or me Slott
Frick that fat homosexual but this comic is awful.
It's just an awful L take

Who THE FRICK cares about these kids? It's called Fantastic FOUR. Not "Fantastic Four, dozens of kids, three dogs, a cat and a homeless bun named George". Even Hickman had a separate title for these kids. If you want kids, read Future Foundation. If you want real shit, read Fantastic Four. Any other arguments outside of moronic EVERYONE ARE moronS THIS BOOK SUCKS?

How could you forget Johnny being a cheater and Doom being miserable cuck? Truly the greatest FF comic of all time.
>Who THE FRICK cares about these kids? It's called Fantastic FOUR.
It's called the First Family too. And the previous runs spent a lot of time exploring the kids and the Future Foundation as a whole. You don't just chuck shit out because you can't be assed to do your job.

anti-Slott gays are so autistic they are pretending this a good comic now
I appreciate that it's not doing long, drawn out story arcs, and instead largely sticking to one-and-dones or two-parters at the most. But it's a little bland occasionally. North isn't trying to MAKE A MARK on the series, or introducing a new oc villain/shitty, unlikeable plot point and pretending THIS IS THE GREATEST CHALLENEGE THE FF HAVE EVER FACED. He's just doing a solid, competent book and I can respect that, even though so far it's nothing all that groundbreaking.
I quite liked the spaceship issue, and the Thing-down-the-hole issue though, more one-and-done stories like that would be good in my book.
>I quite liked the spaceship issue
I thought the concept in that issue was actually kind of brilliant and I'd like to see it explored in a longer story someday.
That sort of "two species on different levels of time perception" has been done in a fair few other sci-fi tales. It's a great angle for a story that's got the potential to be used in a lot of different ways, though the only other example I can think of right now is Brief Lives by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neil.
And, seeing, as that's only 4 pages, I might as well post the whole thing as a mini-storytime.

>you cannot reply
I really like the series. It's silly and lighthearted, really doesn't match the grand Alex Ross covers, but enjoy reading each issue.
It's one of the only two books I buy floppies of atm. That and Void Rivals.
It's polarizing, but I'm glad that it seems to have found an audience.
Simple fun stories really does work for the F4.

I just hope that the mcu realizes that
These are always such bot threads.
Well it's better than Slott's run, at least
It's non-ironically great, fun book. The only Marvel book I am reading rn (Moon Knight is ending and Strange is kinda boring). Doom Rex is KINO
Just give Ben his neck back please.
It's worse than Slott's run
This.

How is it worse than slotts run?

Do you think North will make Valeria queer?
the kids were always a shit idea

Counter argument: Bentley Rules.

Hi Dan
Hi Ryan.
Nice thread.

I was gifted the first trade and I thought it was alright. But I dunno about LOL DINO DOOM.

I'm sure there's other, longer stories out there that use the same concept, but this one is pretty great even if it's even shorter than that FF issue.
And done.
Kek, don't usually like Moore but that was goof
I meant good
It’s been okay so far.
I’m waiting to see how he writes an older Valeria.
anti-Slott gays are so autistic they are pretending this a good comic now
Fantastic Four hasn't been at least decent since Byrne.
I liked Slott's run and I'm liking North's run.
North's run has been harmless fun so far but it has issues.
I'm a little bit behind on this run but has Johnny gotten to do anything yet? From what I read I've enjoyed it just wish Johnny had more to do in it.
