I wonder if the editor of the FF have a controlling interest in how their cast/related characters, and how they’re used? If only to skip continuity issues that could arise.

Ok, I have to ask this
But what age is supposed Valeria to be right now?
Because no matter how smart she is I think that no one would put willingly a 8-9 years old in danger way, not even Logan. She looks physically at least 13 right now since in every picture I have seen of her she seems to have started to develop breast, but as far as I remember her famous 3 years she always has looked a lot older than she is (I sometimes had swear that she was at least 6-8 back then)
Like to know that someone else thinks that Franklin is becoming and A-hole teenager even by teenager standards, yes I know that hormones and mental development and all. Buy why teens should ever have to behave like cretins, I found that stereotype exaggerated even as a teen. Yes Peter a guy who never had it easy not even as a teen could teach him a lot.
Also, math sad me that Franklin should be 13 but he also looks older, like 15-16 or so.
"And you eater of world. May you taste our righteous fire, And choke on it. For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"
The maths doesn't add up at all. The Future Foundation were meant to be gone for five years. Before Secret Wars they were 3 and 8. 8 seems low for Franklin as he was born in the 1960s comics and thus should be nearer 13. After their return, Val was stated to be a teenager, and Franklin older but still a minor. That means their age gap has shrunk, and they've both aged more than they should've. Did Franklin do something to make himself and his sister older - and previously do the same thing to keep himself young? If he can create whole universes, I'm sure that kind of reality warping isn't beyond his capabilities.

We've had the discussion about the kids' ages before and will again.
Canonically, Franklin and Val were identified as being 8 and 3 in the FF book before Secret Wars and such back when Hickman was writing the book. But Fraction's run added a year to the FF while they were off on their adventure. There was also the eight months dealt with before Time Runs Out. But probably the best measure to use is Ben's changes to human form happening annually now. He's had three which would put two years of FF time after the first happening. With Franklin and Val at 8 and 3, that would make them 10 and 5. The five year mission makes them 15 and 10. Franklin seems perfectly on tracj here, but Val's being drawn looking older.

I was going to get the standard one but when I saw this in their Funko section I had to have it. His mini version is just too cute! I need to find the mini Super Skrull next. But who knows how many stores will close this week? I think Target will stay open because they do have a grocery section and a pharmacy section
I am near a complete set of the Fantastic Four wave and when I finish I will take some pix.
X4 was good again today
Some great moments between characters, no idea how this will wrap up in the last issue.
Fantastic Four: Marvels Snapshot #1 was my favorite read today. The writers seemed to really get Johnny and I loved all the deep-cuts. It was a very nice story with a sweet ending.
Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
You people who managed to get books today shall feel my wrath! My state was shut down. My vengeance shall be felt!
But seriously, I am kinda envious.

Sounds awesome! Will patiently await the picture.
One of my Gamestops had their FF Mystery Mini boxes on sale for $3 right before things starting shutting down. I actually got their exclusive DOOM!!! I think I'm going to try eBay for the other ones I want, though, i.e. the regular Doom and Torch and now, this Target Thing. I need to check what extras I've gotten, though I don't think I got SuperSkrull.
Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
I think the Snapshot books are all going to good reads ... but sadly overlooked.
Sorry. Any chance your LCBS will do curbside service?
Today was the last day for new comics from Diamond, so it won't be released to LCBS. Marvel hasn't announced what their plans are, but I seriously doubt they will release any issues digitally first, so I'm guessing, yes, we'll have to wait till after the pandemic eases.
