Fantastic!

It is fantastic for Marvel... and not unexepcted. I actually expected more like 2 million copies sold. This is a book with the return of the FF and a broad readership going back decades. It seems that despite everything, the Disney marketing execs failed. It should have sold 2 million copies easy. right?

Well we’ve definitely seen male and female skrulls. If there’s more than that, we really don’t know. I would say the skrull rules for gender are very open and vast

They are shape shifters. I suppose they have a natural shape and Lyja was shown as female. Maybe she is actually a slug.

20 years ago, maybe. That 360k is more than three times what anything else sold.

Well that is a fact, but even with a little bit of marketing support, (a few subway adds- canned news to the PBS Newshour?) they should have been able to reach 2 million readers.. EASY.

It is a good thing they didn't though. That book is terrible.

Fantastic!

I'm one of the 368,914 but I won't be back.

[mrbrklyn]

I'm one of the 368,914 but I won't be back.

Why? Can you expand?

[Mike]

Why? Can you expand?

Easy. I didn't like issue #1 or the preview of issue #2.

[mrbrklyn]

Easy. I didn't like issue #1 or the preview of issue #2.

I don't disagree

I was just wondering why.

The FANTASTIC FOUR Are Getting a New Headquarters



I like it, it's different and could be interesting. It's only a matter of time before they get back the Baxter Building, but I'm happy with this new headquarters.

It feels like they are starting from scratch and building themselves back up, which I like. As it's kind of meta, the team isn't as popular as they were and this run is trying to rebuild their standing and popularity among readers.

It looks a lot better than that apartment they moved into in Marvel Knights 4. I wonder if it will use any upper dimension tech for storage expansion.

[Ravin' Ray]

Well that is a fact, but even with a little bit of marketing support, (a few subway adds- canned news to the PBS Newshour?) they should have been able to reach 2 million readers.. EASY.

Assuming that the print run was at that capacity.

Different takes. Not over the top outstanding for me, but by no means terrible either.

What's the last book that sold two million copies? Heck, what's the last book that sold one million copies?

2 million? FF is not that popular. Im actually surprised it did as well as it did in comparison to Infinity Wars

[Crimz]

I hope the sales stay good and Marvel takes notice.

I need a FF resurgence and lots of merch.

#1 sales are hardly indicative of where it will be. It will have a massive drop next month and will continue to drop until it stabilizes by the end of the year
