More Fantastic Four: Life Story covers





By Marcus Martin and Paolo Rivera respectively.

I especially love Rivera's cover, might make it the wallpaper on my phone.

I'm sick of events altogether.

Except for the one shot written by Cantwell about Iron Man and Doom facing a Knullified Santa Clause, I have avoided the King in Black event too

Man, what? Was it good tho?

Man, what? Was it good tho?

Yeah, probably more entertaining than the rest of the KIB stuff

I am looking forward to this. I LOVE Mark Russell's work and am intrigued as to what he'll bring to a period sensitive Fantastic Four story. What surprised me about Russell was the way he combined Snagglepuss' broadcast/cartoon history with considerable powerful social content in Exit Stage Left.

The cover showing the Civil rights movement and the second issue showing Sue involved in Women's rights means that this will be similar in that aspect.

Russell doing a relevance story is pretty much what he does and does very well. That's not surprising and I'd be happy seeing that alone, but where he can surprise me with his level of detail in comic book canon is where he can really impress the heck out of me.

It's not the same universe. They confirmed it's its own universe.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, in Spider-Man Life Story, Franklin and Valeria were never born, due to Sue leaving. In this, I can see Franklin being born at the end of the 60s, and then Valeria in the 1970s. By the present day, they'd be part of a new generation Fantastic Four, as by the time they get to 2020, Reed would probably be dead, and Sue very old (over 80), so the original team would almost certainly be no more by then.

It's not the same universe. They confirmed it's its own universe.

With the relative importance of the Reed Sue Namor triangle at the time, spoiling the conclusion in Spider-man's book would be cheating the FF series. As strongly as you or I may feel about the Namor/Sue connection, different writers have different takes and in an alternate universe where the real life passage of time is fully in play, it will be interesting to see how this plays out over the decades with changing sexual mores.

Then again, it's possible that the reaction FF: Grand Design got here followed elsewhere and Namor becomes a footnote as far as being a rival for Sue is concerned.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about an interconnected group of Life Stories in one universe. I suppose covering a decade per franchise each issue makes details realtively insignificant, but making everything fit smoothly would be a challenge.

I guess the Doom nuptials won't be taking up the entire 60th anniversary celebration.

Still, I can't be the only one to have an interest in Vic's Bachelor Party, can I?

Who would be the one to throw the party? I don't think he would get many volunteers. It would be hilarious if Namor and Black Panther would do it. I can't imagine that going very well. Doom could sneak away for a last "visit" to Morgan Le Fey.

I guess they could just have a formal dress dinner since all the FF are dressed up on the covers.
