In the long ago, Slott was doing his Silver Surfer run, which I not only love but is still my default answer to "You can't write a good series around X because he's/she's/they're too powerful," and I was among quite a few that thought Slott would be ideal for F4 based on that run. Turns out, that wasn't true at all. Granted, I liked Slott's reintroduction and the Spyre arc. I like the Thing's fight with Hulk. Reckoning War is ok, even tho thus far it has failed to really set itself apart from so many circumstances like it.
I'd say this run may be remembered most for all the new toys it adds to the box, which is quite reflective of The Fantastic Four's legacy. Granted, whether or not the next writer is going to play with any of the new toys is always up in the air.
Ben and Alicia's wedding, the adoption of the Kree and Skrull children are def tapestry that will go on.
Possibly Victorious / Lyja / Sky will have some ramifications.
I think Lyja will always find her way back because... legacy in her own way.
The idea that the Skrull child may be connected to her is interesting, but I think it should be something other than child.
Or at some point there will be a galactic custody trial?

I guess it was about time for him to end it, but I'm curious who will take over. Hopefully someone with a little more ambitious ideas for the team and knows how to write all of them (especially Sue).
Al Ewing would be good. He did the Royals book starring the Inhumans, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy, Ultimates, and New Avengers. He could bring ideas from any of those books to the FF. Heck, the Ultimates was a team that pretty much did the FF's usual space exploration job in the aftermath of Secret Wars. That series used Galactus too.

Can't say I'm not happy to see him go...
I'm excited to see who the new creative team are and I hope that I like what they do with FF a lot more than I did with Slott.
Be sure to check out the Invisible Woman appreciation thread!
I liked Slotts run but I am looking forward to a new writer.

I wonder if Slott was "requested" to leave? You have to think he wanted hang around to do the 700th issue.

Well, I hope Dan Slott is okay but I feel like it's possible he's just said/done everything he felt like he could on the book.
