Fantastic Four Appreciation 2018

[Frontier]

That's so awesome that they're doing what they did with the Avengers with the "variants referencing hallmark eras" covers .

Pacheco Man!

What era is that one referring to?

Very appropriate that ASM gets Hickman's FF, since Spidey was on that team.

[Master Planner]

Oh,boy. I'm so excited. I hope will see more of Fantastic Four,not only in comics,but outside of it,especially in animation and video games.Hell,i still remember using F4 as my mains in Marvel Heroes mmo(RIP).

FF vol 3 - think it's between 30-40 in 2000?

I think Eptings cover is my favorite so far. That other cover is from the Pacheco/Marin/Loeb era. Pacheco & Marin were usually credited as co-plotters and Jeph Loeb was listed as "wordsmith". From time to time Raphael Marin used to post at the Fantastic Four MB I frequent. His English was pretty good. I think Loeb may have been there mostly to help in that area.

Here is the cover that one is referencing. Ben, Reed and Sue were trapped in the Negative Zone at the time so Johnny formed a new team to go find them.

And that was the first time a New Warrior was on a part of the F4 Team.....{Alex Power was much later tecnically speaking....}.......

Thanks. I was unaware that Namorita was ever on the FF. Scott and Jen of course had both been on the FF before and since.

When they come back, will Valeria be sidelined??

[Digifiend]

Definitely not. She and Franklin are on one of the covers, and looking older than they were before.

I love a lot of these covers, but giggled slightly that Salvador Larocca actually got the costumes slightly wrong. Ah well, it's been about 20 years, so it's understandable.

[Crimz]

What is everyone's estimates for the issue #1 sales?

[Ravin' Ray]

Not only that, but Johnny was her old flame (pun intended) by then. It was a water and fire romance, and it didn't last long. Guess the only former members not in a variant cover are Storm and Black Panther.

They are the variant for the actual FF book:

Ah neat! Over at Shulkie's thread it was asked if Scott's FF team would be counted with Miss Thing as a member.

[Digifiend]

That was technically Future Foundation and not Fantastic Four, that's why FF vol 2 isn't represented. FF vol 1 got a cover because those costumes stayed at first when they became the F4 again.
