CONFIRMED : Fantastic Four To Be invalidate In 2015 With A Triple - Sized consequence 645 , For Fantastic Fourever
It was a story that Bleeding Cool first only offer as a possibility , but as more and more grounds came in , it became more and more potential .
That , as a result of Disney ’s gamy exclusive shareholder and Marvel CEOIsaac Perlmutter ’s anger with Fox Studios over negotiations regarding the celluloid - and - related rights toThe Fantastic Four , that Marvel would set off theFantastic Fourcomic rather than ply any promotion , however small it might be , towards the Fox Studios picture . Merchandise and licence were trash and evenFantastic Fourposters in the offices were pulled down lest Perlmutter see one and have his ire raised . It may not have been coherent , but it was a decision stick out of personal emotion . It was steadied by sense . X - Menwasn’t cancelled , for example as the Xbooks sell so well . ButFantastic Four ? It may have been the first book of the Marvel Universe , but its sale have continued to sweep up , even after multiple relaunches with high visibility Creator . There would be less of a hit to the bottom pipeline if this comic was shed .
Our narrative was pooh - poohedbyallandsundry , redeem for CBRwho independently sustain that it was intended for theFantastic Fourto be cancelled . Then the letter about sketch card artists being forbidden to useFantastic Fourcharacterswas made public , Mondo talked about beingforbidden to useFantastic Fourcharactersand today , we we were already plan to run another tale about Diamond Select Toysconfirming that they are unable to make anyFantastic Fourtoys .
properly now we are not able to make fiber from the FF , but as before long as that changes we will look at them .
But events make a motion on too quick . Now the catalogues of Hachette , Marvel ’s bookshop distributor , seems to confirm the cancellation at least . With June ’s appeal forJames RobinsonandLeonard Kirk’sFantastic Four : The End Is Fourever .
THE END IS FOUREVER ! Witness the closing act on the First Family of the Marvel Universe ! THE INVADERS suffer the FANTASTIC FOUR as the hunting for REED RICHARDS and the missing kid of the FUTURE FOUNDATION carry on . Meanwhile the mastermind behind everything unveil his ultimate plan . But how does FRANKLIN RICHARDS factor in ? And how does this all run to … The END ? ! Collecting FANTASTIC FOUR # 642 - 644 and the Triple Sized Final Issue 645 !
Fantastic FourVol 3 ended with legacy numbering of # 611,Matt Fraction ’s discharge run to # 16 , which would add up up to # 627 . December ’s 2014 ’s solicited issue for the current volume is # 14 which would add up to # 641 . Which would slide into a renumbering of January ’s # 642 nicely .
On that basis we might expectFantastic Foureverto begin in January and the final issue to be published in April . Although the accumulation beforeFantastic Foureveris listed on Amazon as going up to # 16 … though I ca n’t work the addition on that at all . Anyone ?
And how this tallies with Tom Brevoort ’s statementback in June that ,
We are publish FANTASTIC FOUR . Next month , we will be publishing FANTASTIC FOUR . A year from now , assuming that it ’s still selling well , we will be issue FANTASTIC FOUR .
… I do n’t know . I suppose if it is n’t in reality being publish , then it wo n’t be selling well . August ’s stats has # 8 of the comic selling more thanWolverine & The X - Men , Punisher , NightcrawlerandStorm , and room onwards of other to - be - cancelled titles .
Expect the announcement of the cancellation ofThe Fantastic Fourat NYCC . And expect a floor - free-base ground for the cancellation – that they have a great final story for the team and want to give it impact .
We have also noted that theTime feed Outstoryline in theAvengerstitles , look forward to April and May , ascertain Susan Storm as a member of an Avengers team hunting the Illuminati , specifically her now bearded husband Reed Richards , who is in hiding . The Fantastic Four is clearly no more .
They will say there ’s a tarradiddle - based cause and also say they finger that the comic could do with a rest , as occur withThorin the yesteryear . Maybe that because the motion-picture show is so unlike to the comedian , they do n’t want confusedness in the market place . I ’m indisputable there will be a reason given . But citizenry puzzle out at Marvel who have spoken without ascription say that , from the start , it was all about Ike .
It ’s also deserving noting that this comedian may be cancelled just before the Fantastic Fourmovie was originally project to fare out . Now that it has been delay , you may have to wait even longer for the comic to return – after the DVD is out , perhaps ?
