The First Family of Marvel: The Fantastic Four Appreciation 2019

[Prof. Warren]

Is anyone going to talk about the MASSIVE retcon on F4's origin in issue #17 ?

It was already discussed earlier in this thread when the issue came out.

[CaptCleghorn]

Looking at the Wyatt, Sky, Johnny, and Mole Man in the March issue of FF and with that issue being legacy numbered 665, is anyone else suspecting a Salem's Seven or otherwise evil, mystic story for the next issue?

[kilderkin]

Really found this last arc to be almost unreadable

Especially the relationship of Johnny and his soul mate

Imo just felt Johnny's character was well off and just horrible scripting

I will give it to the end of the arc but any more like this and I'll be off

I've not read slott for this long before and Im losing my interest and patience, there's still not been an issue where I've been eager to read the next one

Think times up for me

Wasn't expecting it but it'd be cool if that's what happens!

That would be cool. I wanted back in the day to see a story about Nicholas Scratch having sired seven children and bound them to demons at an early age, as well as encouraging their study of witchcraft, so that he could eventually, at their 25th birthdays, or whatever, sacrifice them and absorb the power of the seven witches of the Salem's Seven *and* all seven of their associated demons, and become a bargain-basement Hell-Lord type super-sorcerer, a threat on par with entities like Mephisto or Dormammu, Salokin, the Sevenfold Demon.

Flight and a sonic scream. She's basically Angel before he became Archangel, combined with Black Canary.

She’s basically Marvel’s Silver Swan.

Merry Christmas fellow Fantastic Four fans!

In Incoming, spoilers:

Valeria reprogrammed HERBIE, he now has free will and no language filter. He's tells the F4 "fuck you" and goes off to join the robot revolution happening in Dan Slott's other book, Iron Man. The guy who got killed turned out to be a pink Kree that the F4 encountered years ago (when She-Hulk was on the team). Reed displayed a new ability. He can shapeshift to look like a completely different person. Mister Sinister is shown checking off mutants he has, and one he needs.... which, of course, is Franklin. Slott is also writing A4: Empyre.

Herbie finally has had enough . Didn't Reed do something similar in the Robinson run? It's a little too Plastic Man for my tastes.

Thats new? Maker has done it in the past

Thats new? Maker has done it in the past

Kamala has done it, too.

[Digifiend]

Maker is AU - and explicitly different in that he has no proper organs, unlike 616 Reed, so you can't assume his powers work the exact same way - and Kamala could easily be where he got the idea from, considering how similar their powers are. Kamala knew she could shapeshift from the start, as that's how her powers first manifested. Reed though, first manifested his stretching ability and won't have known the full extent of his powers until later.

It's nothing all that new. Remember, Reed was regularly doing something like this back in the 270's, when he was adopting a disguise so that his family could live in the suburbs.Screen-Shot-2017-06-19-at-10.43.51-AM copy.jpg

I always wanted to see a Mr Sinister vs Fantastic Four story. It was one of my dream storylines back in the old forum. I'm glad that Marvel decided to utilise that idea.

Reed has also shapeshifted in the Marvel Knights run to be a completely different creature.

I'm also really happy that Sinister is finally targeting Franklin. I've wanted to see him go up against the FF for a while now.
