Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
Yeah, that was originally due out on April 1, so it was already printed. The digital edition excised the content promoting cancelled books, such as Spider-Man and The Union.
I see they didn't alter Agents of Wakanda #8. It still says it's to be continued in Invasion of Wakanda, even though that's also been cancelled (and the Agents title with it, so they should've replaced the last page with a message from the creative team).

I actually kinda liked the FF #0 issue.
It reiterated the original role of Bel-Dar and Raksor, and the role the FF had in their story. Not everyone who Marvel Comics #1000 knew their backstory
And it's expanding on the galactic crises that Ewing established in GotG

An alliance between the Kree and the Skrull has some major ramifications on the galactic economy.
Apparently a lot of war profiteers relied on their endless fighting to drive profits.
The universally accepted currency is worthless! The Galaxy is back to a bartering system
There are so many implications to this
I enjoyed the FF issue. Was it completely relevant? Maybe not. But it was still a nicely written story with beautiful art.
Also, the two kids they rescued may play a significant role in this event.
Liked the issue well enough, I really dug the new Skrull girl, N'kalla. But I do agree it was pretty much pointless.
I didn't read it yet, but it's weird Slott kept hyping up this issue on twitter if it's indeed very pointless.
The issue was pretty good and probably better than the Avengers one 2 weeks ago.

Basically, the F4 get stuck in space and find out the currency crashed due to the Kree/Skrull alliance. Reed mentions the Kree and the Skrull from Incoming and how he first met them FF Annual #18. They go to some casino/arena, meet the Grandmaster's sister, save a Kree boy and a Skrull girl and dip.
"Cable was right!"
We saw in Empyre #1 preview that at the very beginning (also solicit spoilers)

they are sent to Earth with Franklin and Valeria and so will languish in the tie-in, probably only reappearing in the background around the end when its plot will actually touch something relevant with the super Omni-Wave projector.
So yeah, I am not betting much on their relevance.
Affection is putting it mildly.
I can't believe Marvel decided to do two #0s and they are tonally different from each other while still highlighting some important old stories, establishing how the event is changing the cosmic landscape, and showing how each team gets caught up in the event, guys I can't believe this and I'm crying...
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Most of the complaints I've seen about the issue is that its "pointless" and "irrelevant"--which seems a pretty premature thing to say, given that the story hasn't truly even begun yet. After all, this is a #0 issue -- its a prelude. I know the long comic shutdown has us all impatient for things to get started, but its hardly the prelude's fault that it isn't right into the big events. Its not and was never intended to be.
Just as the AVENGERS #0 issue (re)introduced Quoi, Swordsman and the Cotati, who are going to be important to the event, the FF #0 issue introduces 3 new characters who are going to be carrying on into the event (and possibly beyond). That alone makes it relevant. Just because we don't know yet how the elements introduced here are going to play out doesn't make it pointless--it means we need to wait and see.
If people didn't like the issue just on its own merits, because they weren't interested in the story, or didn't like the art, etc, that's fair enough. But dismissing it as pointless or a waste of time in terms of the overall event just seems to me to be a rather silly complaint because it is far too soon to be able to judge it in those terms.
