The FF should be the easiest Marvel title to do well. High adventure, travel through outer space and strange dimensions, the nuclear-family dynamic, some banter between Ben and Johnny, an epic battle with Dr. Doom every couple of years...how hard can it be?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024593299569223590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-6801524985057724642009-03-11T12:56:00.000-04:002009-03-11T12:56:00.000-04:00At the risk of veering off topic, and speaking of ...At the risk of veering off topic, and speaking of what I don't know from close-hand experience (since my funds don't allow for a regular comic habit these recent years), but does Marvel know WTF they are doing anymore?<BR/><BR/>The whole registration act thing had some promise for shaking things up and making the Marvel universe overall more interesting, and then we get World War Hulk and a Skrull invasion and now Dark Reign. I think we coulda skipped World War Hulk and had a much more coherent and logical path toward Dark Reign.<BR/><BR/>But, in the end, will things really change or be shook up, or will this be another registration act saga, where the promise is killed as soon as the big crossover stuff is over (Hey, we put spidey on an interesting path, now let's erase everything with a wave of Mephisto's hand!)<BR/><BR/>Dr. Strange gets dethroned and now we'll probably get some fucked up stupid storyline where Dr. Doom or this "Hood" character get the title for no logical reason.<BR/><BR/>Tony Stark loses his company for the umpteenth fucking time, and will be on the run in his one suit of armor until we conveniently let him recover his corporate role.<BR/><BR/>*meh!*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-91404489468549423152009-03-11T12:54:00.000-04:002009-03-11T12:54:00.000-04:00http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40378My only vote i...http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40378<BR/><BR/>My only vote is for a fully animated Thing, any other votes for a cast reset?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-30498857922593470182009-03-11T11:09:00.000-04:002009-03-11T11:09:00.000-04:00Lord, I couldn't agree more, and I was the biggest...Lord, I couldn't agree more, and I was the biggest FF fan on the planet. Isn't Hitch supposedly drawing these pages on gigantic art boards? Why bother when it comes out looking so dull?Kevie Metalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908746632909933648noreply@blogger.com
