Yeah. Axel thinks we are still as stupid as when he teased the complete Reboot after Time Runs Out so extreme that everybody knew that they wont reboot.

The marriage was annulled by Black Bolt after Quicksilver stole Terrigen crystals and used them to try to re-power mutants and jumpstart his own abilities. Black Bolt also beat the shit out of Quicksilver, like a boss.
She was married off to Ronan the Accuser during War of Kings to solidify the Inhumans taking over the Kree Empire.

Nice to see Lieber isn't waiting too long for another job. RIP Superior Foes.

Is that Silent War stuff on Marvel Unlimited? Sounds like a solid read.

This is why these theories are so weird. Are they canceling Fantastic4? Probably. It's a shitty book. Will they try another one? Probably not for a while. They're 0 for 2 since Hick left.
Are the FF outsized from the MU? Lol hell to the no. So I keep getting my FF stories from Hickman until someone talented figures out what to do with Ben and John. Oh well. Sounds like a solid plan to me.
Also, anyone reading Low and/or Black Science knows Remender is the best fit for FF.
Also, if movies were so tied into Marvels decision making process, how would they have landed at a Female Thor?
People seem to see what they want to see but the actual thing getting seen is always the same thing to see.
No, butterfly, last arc she was doing a bunch of research about wild west shows and ended up with Pretty Deadly. This is probably happening again.
I was going to end that sentence with Bitch Planet, which I think should become a nice burn. But not to you, Messi. Never.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but does anyone have recommendations for a comic app for an iPad Mini Retina? My 9 year old daughter has expressed an interest in reading some comics and I'm more than happy to encourage her! 
No idea what she actually wants to read, but I suspect fairly traditional superhero stuff (Superman, Spider-Man etc.).

I love that Chrome doesn't flag "Superman" in its spell check, but doesn't recognise "online".
I wanna read Bitch Planet. But I'm not sure it's ever gonna come out.

Comixology has a large selection of books from all of the major publishers except for Dark Horse
Marvel Unlimited is also an option if you'd rather just pay a subscription fee as opposed to buying books one at a time
Brevoort even teased that it was not a permanent end for the fantastic four. But conspiracy theories are fun.
Oh shit
No clue, but Son of M is pretty good too and they go good together.

Marvel Unlimited is a good deal, it's like Netflix for Marvel Comics. It's good value if your daughter is a voracious reader, I know I would have loved MU at that age. It's $10 a month or $69 a year. There is also currently a deal on Plus membership which gets you a Rocket Raccoon toy and other goodies, it's $69 (the same as a standard one-year sub) with code SAVE30 until October 16.

I was getting it for the first 4-5 issues.
It was alright I was enjoying it for the most part. Just kinda bland..
..Then in the previews I saw for the next issue ..
"Fantastic Four goes to court!" haha,. and I bailed
Thanks. I'm sure this is an obvious question - but is Marvel Unlimited only Marvel comics?
Also, any issues with that in the UK? Tempted to give it a try, it would be a nice Christmas present for her.
EDIT: At first glance it looks like the Plus option is US only. Not a show stopper for me.
That's either going to be really mediocre or really horrible. Hoping for the best.
Yeah, I thought it was a daft question. And I've just re-read TetraxShards post where he explicitly states that! >_<Why should Marvel offer Comics of other Companys in their own Comic Netflix?
Still, that means no Batman or Superman. :'(

It's the merchandise rights, correct? Marvel gets 100% of the merch money, I think. This is why he gets to have toys and cartoons, and why he gets to be in Infinity 2.0 (and why there's no hide nor hair of anything FF or mutant-related in the game).

I'd probably buy that. I likes him a lot on Animal Man.
Yep. Fox gets EVERYTHING Merchandise related to FF and X-Men.
Yep. That's why Marvel is playing nice.

Ah, so that explains why they're not on the cover of Secret Wars.

Thanks for th Deathstroke pic Shin! That's badass.
I read FF for the first arc but dropped most my Marvel pull when I realized my pull list was around 60 books a month. It was ok I guess.

Birdie playing Devils Advocate / Marvel PR is the best thing about this "news story".
I adore you Birdie, in a fiercely intense, man love sort of way.

You are aware of the origins of the original Secret Wars as a poorly written excuse for a Mattel toyline, right?
Birdie gives no fucks about reasoning

Yeah! But this is Hickman. This is the "Crisis" his story has been building to since, IIRC, heat death of the universe is first mentioned in his third Fantastic Four issue.
So I feel like the toy stuff isn't really linked into the core of the story. But it is relevant to what Marvel is dtp, hence the cover lineup.
But if we get a Doctor Zero figure? Oh hell sure.

I feel like you don't know what dtp stands for. Everything I just posted two seconds ago is about reasoning.
Don't shoot the messenger, mah dudes.

Marvel is not going to cancel their entire X-line en masse; those books account for far too much of the comics side's revenue. Honestly, while that teaser's fan-baiting is most likely deliberate, I suspect it's merely for a Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch ongoing spinning out of Axis.
FF, on the other hand? Nothing is permanent in superhero comics, but I think there's at least a 50-50 chance that it won't be relaunched for a while.

They'll relaunch FF when they have a creative team with a vision for the book. Since Hickman left it the book hasn't had much of one.

Hey, we got to have some reason to keep the Ultimate Universe around.
Hey, we got to have some reason to keep the Ultimate Universe around.
The conspiracies about Fantastic Four and X-Men will never not be funny. They only dumped their highest selling writer on the X-books, and sure FF might get cancelled- it's almost like the book is selling pretty poorly or something. Mr. Fantastic has been a major character in the Hickman run, so has Namor- a Fantastic Four/X-Men character.
No More Mutants? C'mon, it's just gonna be another big X-Men event. Marvel is constantly shitting on Mutants, wiping them out and beating them down; that's not a change in the status quo to hurt Fox, that's business as usual for X-Men books.
It's not like putting them out of focus in their marketing for stuff is going to suddenly halt Fox's success.
