Fantastic Four

Not that it ain't happened before, but the word is they're killing Galactus again in FF #575.

Galactus was always one of my favorite villains. And I always thought only a few artists drew him properly and only a few times did he have above average storylines. Still, I always thought Galactus was just plain cool.

This is supposed to be an interior pic. I actually dig the pic. I think it would make a great cover by today's standards.

The newest books by Jonathin Hickman and Dale Eaglesham are awesome. The first storyline focused directly on Reed and his need to fix everything. It is easily one of the best standalone Reed stories ever.
Eagleahams art is beautiful to look at. He rocked on JSA and now he is putting his talents to use in FF.
Thank you comic gods.

Also I have to disagree about the Movie Galactus.
He was not a big grey cloud.

You know what KIRBY DOTS are right? That massive crackling cosmic energy that Kirby designed. Well Imagine this, Glactus is so Enormous on his own that his ship is actually larger than the planet earth and is freely moving through space. Well all of that energy would just burn the space around it. So That cloud represents all of the energy put off by his ship.
When the tendrils are heading towards Zenn La at the beginning and later towards the Earth, If you look closely you can see massive machinery within the smoke.
I personally couldn't ubut a 400 foot guy anyway. Galactus would need to stand at the least a 1/2 mile tall to be intimidating.

I hear ya about Modern comics. Most of them are just regurgatations of older stories.
Yeah you could see Galactus in FF2. I liked both films myself. Especially the second one. The thing that kills me, is I think they adapted the comic pretty accurately over all. People acted like it was designed for an 8 year old. It probably was, but It still had the characters right. Half of the second film drew on comic stories from all thoughout the history of the characters.

Apparently, they are now going to reboot the franchise and make the tone darker. (thanks Dark Knight) and more serious.
As long as they get an actual blue eyed blond for Sue.

I've been thinking about writing a review about the last issue of Fantastic Four. I thought up until Johnny Storm got killed, they were on a roll. Fantastic Four was getting up there with Captain America in terms of being a quality comic. Then they had to get with the gimmicks.

First Johnny needlessly dies. And although I absolutely hate the death, the events leading up to and including the death were fabulous. The Fantastic Four seemed fresh again and worthwhile. It felt like it had some of it's old fun.

While reading the last issue of the Fantastic Four, there was a promo couple of pages for the new Fantastic Four series slated to be called "FF" and I couldn't have been more sick to my stomach when I seen it.

Gone are the familiar blue uniforms. Yes, they are dated as hell, but over the years they have been modernized and still fit the team well. I don't mind so much that they changed the uniforms as much as I mind how drastic they did it.

These white uniforms with the 3 revolving squares on them would look cool on some other characters, but on the FF they look completely foreign. Okay, even still....I could maybe live with checking them out in their new costumes. No, that wasn't the illest part. The worst part is seeing Johnny Storm's replacement. None other than.......Spiderman.

I've got to say, Marvel Comics is royally fucking up or fucking with everything that ever mattered and I'm ready to go to their offices and piss on someone's face. I know I'll probably get these books and look into them because I'm an FF fan to begin with. But I have ZERO interest in seeing Spiderman as a member of the FF.

It seems Marvel combined with Disney just continues to water down their characters. There is a backup story with Franklin Richards and Spiderman and it's clear they're kiddie-izing this comic. As Reed and Sues children become more and more a bigger part of the comic, the FF are being turned into a Power Pack with superhero parents. And now we get Spiderman to babysit and tell them right from wrong as well as he can join them on missions. Fuck all this! I never thought Spiderman worked well in team books. And he makes absolutely no sense in the FF. Yeah, I know he was there with the FF on Amazing Spiderman #1. And I certainly remember the "What If Spiderman joined the Fantastic Four" comic. But come on! The joke is over. This can't last.

Marvel has done took another great book which is something I cannot say very many times these days and fucked it up.

My faith in Marvel is at an all-time low.
