In tried and true earning a no-prize fashion: Each cartridge has an expiration date and they need to be used before that time or they go to waste.

Fantastic four with Jim Cheung on art would be fantastic

Looks like he's on Two In One. All of those panels are by the relevant characters' usual artists (ASM artist Immonen on the Osborn panel for instance, and Samnee on the Captain America panel).

Jim's teasing it on his Instagram but yeah looks like it's two in one, that's a pretty big name so very happy about that but want the FF dammit.

[The BaRoN]

Imagine if we got another FF line of books next year like in the 90s when we had

Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four 2099
Fantastic Force
Fantastic Four unplugged
Fantastic Four unlimited
Fantastic Four Marvel action hour

but this time we got

Fantastic Four
Marvel Two in One starring Thing and Torch
Invisible Woman
Future Foundation featuring the kids and more teen heroes from avengers academy
Fantastic Four 2100 (Since Spiderman 2099 finally reached that year)

Where Are They Now: Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four

The Roger Corman’s ill-fated film The Fantastic Four was supposed to officially release in 1994, but that never happened. In 2005, Stan Lee said that the only reason the film was ever made was because executive producer Bernd Eichinger wanted to retain the rights to the film series, so he made a low budget film knowing it would never see the light of day, and one day make a big-budget version for the public to see. Eichinger and Corman deny these claims, stating that their intentions were always to release the film.

Avid Arad, who was a Marvel executive at the time and would later found Marvel Studios, bought the film and ordered that it be buried without even seeing the movie because he didn’t want Marvel to be associated with low-budget B movies as it might tarnish the franchise. So what happened to the movie? It is still available for free to stream on Youtube and Dailymotion. The quality as admittedly quite poor, but it is still watchable for anyone interested in a superhero movie with the incredibly low budget. And what about the cast and crew of this Marvel anomaly? Let’s take a look at what they’ve all been up to since their work on this film.

I skipped the link. I prefer to think that the coverage of that unseen Fantastic Four seen on the last season of Arrested Development is actual canon.

I was thinking about Reed and the new multiverse, I think it would be funny if Reed give a threat level to every universe hes been to and someone from 616 found out that the 616 universe is actually on the more dangerous level when it comes to everything lol.

Bleeding Cool is saying the Valeria/Franklin FF film is based off Mark Millar's Kindergarten Heroes https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/08...garten-heroes/

[kilderkin]

really have no idea what I'm looking at. I see what appears to be Norman Osborn in a trench coat, a celestial giving the thumbs up (sideways?), ben and johnny on a roof, Thor skipping AA, Stark on an Ipad?

the celestial is Arishem iirc his thumb has that sigil is what he uses to show his conclusions when a planet population is evaluated iirc

Now why we see that is interesting me

Nice to see one of the architects of the failed Ultimate Fantastic Four, and creator of the Masters of Doom will have a hand in mucking up the FF in movies.

How the First Fantastic Four Graphic Novel Ended Up Unpublished

In Nothing Was Delivered, we look at announced comic book projects that never came about. We’ll try to find out WHY they didn’t come out. I’m sure you all know tons of examples of comic book projects like these, so feel free to write me at brianc@cbr.com to tell me some for future columns.

Reader Jason M. wanted to know what happened to Fantastic Four: Fathers and Sons, which was supposed to be the very first Fantastic Four graphic novel.

It was announced in Marvel Age Annual #4…
