Just read the new Fantastic Four #1, by Mark Waid...

He *gets* it.

I've picked up FF occasionally in the past. Nothing from the past 20 years or so has ever caught my fancy. But this...

He gets it. He gets what makes them unique. What they're really about. And I am going to start subsribing to FF just to see where he takes them.

Go get it. Special launch gimmick: it's 9 cents. You have no excuse not to get it. :)

got it. twas good.
but, you didn't even like the Byrne run?

I liked the Byrne run, although I think his success there led to his ego growing out of control. And his run also brought back Phoenix, one of the low points in MU history.

I agree on the ego think.
And yes, low point, agreed.
But, and this doesn't balance, it just lets me ignore the Jean Gray ressuretion, I love the Negative Zone stuff.

Please tell me you were not at Oxford last night. (As I was, and Atl. is too big to be that small.)

I wasn't... we're too lazy to drive to the comic shop every week, we order from Westfield and get biweekly shipments. :)

Already loving it, True Believer... of course, the FF has always been at the top of my list.

I need my ever-loving, blue-eyed fix each month.

I heard FF:1234 was good, too. I can't find a good comic shop around Charlottesville, though.

Order online from Westfield Comics! That's what we do...

Well, I'm going to the comic shop tomorrow. I'll try to pick it up. I've gotten kind of bored with the FF. I want Franklin Richards to hit his teens. But I think he'll permanently be at 4 1/2.

I may have to look at it.

I picked up Hellblazer, Strange Killings, Mortal Souls, and Dark Knight 2 today.

Not familiar with Mortal Souls...?

And it was totally illustrated by MIKE BLOODY WIERINGO who also illustrated the BEST COMIC EVAR, Tellos.

I *love* Tellos. Totally love it.

just reread it last night ::bounce:: Rikk is my fave.

Fantastic Four never interested me.


But I'm going to trust you on this one and check it out.

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'm back from the comic shop. There it was on the counter. FF #60 for 9 cents.

I started laughing on page 2, but that no way prepared me for the next few pages.

Ah, Franklin is 7 now. That's promising.

ok. Finished the comic. Wow. You were right. This is good stuff. Damn good. It's not enough to make me subscribe again...yet. But I'll check out the next few issues. I'd never seen the angle of exploring Mr. F's angst over what he'd done. But it touched me. I've always been very close to The Thing's torment though.
