Posted by MisterJ on 06/08/09 at 08:55 PMthis run has been getting no love but I think Miller/Hitch have been very solid and this is the most I have enjoyef FF in a long time
Posted by tdog on 06/08/09 at 11:24 PM@tdog So have I. Best run on FF since Waid/Weirengo. And a solid run compared to a lot of the stuff before that. Really liked the last issue, even with the Mouth of Sauron knock-off.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 06/09/09 at 09:52 AMI've been in love with their whole run and can't wait to see how it ends. I don't have plans to keep picking up this book after they leave though, Hickman's Marvel work hasn't been doing it for me so far.
Posted by drakedangerz on 06/09/09 at 11:53 AM@tdog: I don't think that it's at all accurate to say that this run by Millar and Hitch gets "no love".
Posted by conor on 06/09/09 at 02:05 PMI FREAKIN' LOVE THIS RUN OF FF. There. It's getting some love. Seriously, though, not enough people are talking about just how great this book has been. I believe it was one of the iFanboys who said (and I'm paraphrasing) that it doesn't matter how good the book is or who's on it--it's the Fantastic Four, therefore virtually no one cares except FF fans.
Posted by J4K3 on 06/09/09 at 02:12 PMi agree with the "no love" to the extent that its probably been Marvel's best book over the past year
Posted by cutty on 06/09/09 at 02:13 PMHas anyone else heard Hitch isn't even going to finish this run? That he is leaving early to do Reborn?
Posted by magnum240 on 06/09/09 at 04:08 PMjust read the preview for this on Marvel.com and there is some crazy shit going on in this issue. Should be badass. can't wait now!
Posted by crazychris on 06/09/09 at 04:11 PM@magnum - yup, you're right. that's just disappointing Stuart Immonen is closing it out on issue #569
Posted by cutty on 06/09/09 at 05:05 PMhitch is leaving? wtf? that's lame however, Millar has had hold of him for too long, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM WORK WITH BRUBAKER
Posted by edward on 06/09/09 at 06:38 PMNot doing the final issue of an arc, especially one about Doom is upsetting. Maybe enough so that I will decide against this purchase. Even though I don't mind Immonen's art
Posted by MisterJ on 06/10/09 at 12:49 PMThis book was great, really wish Millar was staying with the book longer.
Posted by Jediaxle on 06/10/09 at 11:42 PMIt's a damn shame this book couldn't get heat even if it was set on fire. This arc is turning to out to be great.
Posted by AquaPimp82 on 06/11/09 at 11:33 AMThis gave me that 'wow' feeling that I rarely get from single issues of superhero comics nowadays. The first twist I saw coming but the second was a pleasant surprise.
Posted by ultimatehoratio on 06/11/09 at 02:48 PMGreat Art, Horrible Writing
Posted by wulfstone on 06/11/09 at 03:02 PM@Ultimatehoratio-agreed. I am a big fan of the double twist as well. Tease it just enough to make you invest in being right, while the true twist sneaks on by to surprise you
Posted by MisterJ on 06/11/09 at 05:06 PMWhat a great, solid issue of a series. A shame about Hitch not sticking it out, but c'est la vie. A bit disappointed that the FF didn't appear in the issue though. 4/5.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 06/11/09 at 05:32 PM@PraxJarvin: Every member of the FF but Mr. Fantastic was in this issue.
Posted by conor on 06/12/09 at 03:57 PM@conor I meant "our" Fantastic Four, not Dr. Doom's fever dream fantasy. Which I quite enjoyed. But I've been loving the smaller moments of the the FF proper over the actual stories, so I was a little disheartened that they weren't there. I understand why from a story telling perspective, but yeah.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 06/12/09 at 04:02 PMYou know why this issue came out so quickly? Because Hitch totally phoned the 'mother in!
Posted by edward on 06/13/09 at 12:45 AM@conor - Even if you count Dr. Doom's dream, I didn't notice the Human Torch at all although he was mentioned.
Posted by Noto on 06/13/09 at 12:45 AMI did not enjoy this at all. i think Millar had some Ok ideas on his run, but I have mostly not liked it. And i usually enjoy his work. I can't wait for this run to be over.
Posted by JohnVFerrigno on 06/13/09 at 02:19 AM@JohnVFerrigno Same here, although it's Millar's execution that's been "okay." Still doesn't overrule this terrible idea, though.
