    *Sarcasm mode engaged* I wonder WHO will the fourth member be? (There's an idea. The Doctor as a member of the FF! Nah, Reed would end up being redundant) Is it anniversary issue time already?
  • Chris Fluit August 8, 2011 at 3:17pm
    Yes, it is.  By double-shipping several months, FF has reached the 12th/600th issue in less than a year.

    Well, I'd hate to say "I told you so", but if Hickman was going to (under orders?) to revive the Fantastic Four, I would prefer to see him either bring in Spider-man or a new fourth member instead of Johnny making a comeback.

    Yet remember: we never actually saw the Human Torch die, let alone had a body in the casket at the memorial service.

    Also, unless anyone can say otherwise, the Original Human Torch and Toro haven't been seen since The Invaders Now mini. I think Johnny is still alive in the Negative Zone. Annihilus produced a shirt but that proves nothing!

    And November 1961 was the first issue of FF!  Fifty years!  And Reed's looking so well for a WWII vet!

    So if Reed was, say, 25 in 1945, then he'd be 91 today! Unstable molecules, indeed!

    Even if Sue was 10 years younger, she'd still be 81 today! Certainly not the uber-babe of FF!

  • Figserello August 8, 2011 at 7:52pm
    To be fair, she doesn't have much competetion as uber-babe of teh FF!
  • Philip Portelli August 8, 2011 at 7:56pm
    Yes but she went from the mother figure of the MU to another pin-up type! I blame John Bryne, Greg Pak and Jessica Alba! And I can forgive Jessica Alba! ;-)

    According to this, FF No. 1 rolled off the presses 50 years ago TODAY. (Comics were typically dated 3 months ahead of actual publication, so as comic book dated Nov. '61 would have been on newsstands in Aug. '61.)

    Wow!  Big day then so.  Yesterday for me.  I've just put it up on my facebook page, as everyone should know!
