Yes, now that I think about it I think the only thing they've done together is the issue with mole man and maybe where they find the lost atlanteans. And like has been said many many times, there is no body just a teary rock man... |

Hickman's run has truthfully been good in my opinion after we got past the first arc. I just don't find Reed all that interesting. I liked all of the juggling of the serperate plotlines with each member of the 4. (tho Ben & Johnny were together) The book itself did kinda undersell the death a bit. If there wasn't a media story and Hickman and marvel telling everyone this is the story where someone dies, everyone might have been surprised. I thought Sue's plot was the most interesting and that's mostly because of the horny Namor. Reed saving Nu-Earth or whatever was completely uninteresting to me. I thought the death itself was fine, if not typical for comic books. Ben changing back was a sad irony, and Johnny had a cool last line, "You think I'm afraid of this?" Although I would say Johnny is my second favorite member of the FF, I can't really say I will miss him either.  When Epting started doing art, the book got a lot better. Whether that's coincidense or not, who knows, but he remained solid here. All in all a solid comic Story 7 Art 8 Overall 7.5 |

The RG was mostly a bunch of fucktards for this week, there's no way this comic deserves a 4. Johnny Storm never had so many fans as the day Jonathan Hickman made him bug food. First the art. With Epting on pencils, the FF looks the best it has in years and Paul Mounts, who's been coloring this book for damn near 100 issues, has adapted his coloring to suit Epting's style perfectly. If you don't like the art on this book, I hope you get the help you need. On the writing side, Hickman's run is quickly becoming one of my favorites on the series. If this was your first issue of Hickman's FF it's understandable if maybe you got a bit lost, while some issues of Hickman's FF were written as stand alone stories, this comic was most definitely a part 22 of ??? even moreso than just a part 5 of 5 within the 'Three' arc. Jumping on point it's not, but awesome chapter in a larger story it was. All of the major plotlines reached a climax and Johnny got stranded in the Negative Zone to presumably face an Annihilation Wave alone. Which is majorly badass, certainly way the fuck cooler than Doomsday at the very least. Whenever Marvel wants to solicit that Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Omnibus Volume 1 is cool with me, I've already reserved a place for it on my bookshelf. Story: 8 Art: 10 Overall: 8 |

Is the turnaround time becoming faster between when a creator is revered on the internet and when they become a pariah? I mean, it took Dan Slott a few years to make that transition, now it seems like it takes a few months for a Hickman or a Spencer. |

I think I may just hate on any new creators as soon as they break on the scene, just to be ahead of the curve and maintain my hipster credentials. |

|

Pfft! You don't have any to maintain. |

Hey, I predicted the Hicklash, I am a legend. |

Punchy and I have 'Super' compatibility on Last.fm, that's all the hipster cred he needs. |

I think that was eHarmony actually. |

|

|
|

That would be impossible, because eHarmony doesn't do same-sex match-ups! Those bigots! |
