With all the rumors of Disney buying out Twentieth Century Fox, there are several threads that discuss the affect this would have on the movies. Instead, I want to talk about the affect on the comics.
As everyone knows, the Fantastic Four title ended in 2015 just as Secret Wars had all titles ending. Fantastic Four did not come back after the story, due to poor sales or the wrath of Isaac Perlmutter or other factors.
Since the acquisition of Fox would lead to the return of the film rights, Perlmutter would presumably no longer veto the comic and reader interest is sure to be heightened due to their lengthy absence. So, a new Fantastic Four title could be soon arriving.
Assuming we get a new FF monthly title, who do you want as the creative team?
I would prefer an old school back to basic approach. My first choice would be Karl Kesel writing and art by Tom Grummett. Kesel has never been the regular writer for FF, but he has written annuals, fill ins, a Human Torch series, FF 2099, and an Amalgam one shot mashup with the Challengers of the Unknown. It's obvious he has love and deep knowledge of the characters.
Also Kesel and Grummett have had long runs on Adventures of Superman and Superboy. They work great together, and Grummett has a style similar to John Byrne, who drew one of the definitive runs of FF.
If Marvel doesn't want to go old school, then Al Ewing would be the best choice to me.
Thought? Opinions?
