A final writer of the Fantastic Four comedian , Jonathan Hickman , confirmed that Marvel cancelled the Fantastic Four because of a disagreement with Fox .
Article Summary
George Marston has writtena most noteworthy article for Newsaramalooking at the continued deficiency of issue of the Fantastic Four , question a identification number of those involved and coming to a conclusion by somehow not ever being cognisant of the considerable reporting Bleeding Cool have given this subject over the years and the debate that raged as a result . A deliberate avoidance or blind ignorance , who knows , but he does at least get one of the net author of the Fantastic Four for Marvel , Jonathan Hickmanto confirm what Bleeding Cool first reported .
In a series of articles , starting in 2014 , Bleeding Cool stated that Marvel were going to becancelling their Fantastic Four comic booksas a result of a falling - out with Fox Studios over the perpetual - while - they - keep - making - plastic film permit to the Fantastic Four and the decade - Men rights that Fox holds . This also included theforbidding of sketch circuit board artists to use the Fantastic Four characters , orMondo for the posters , removing them from gamesor strip them fromthe Marvel ID postersorstatue linesorT - shirt , the human activity was done . And aside from what may have been a trademark - enforcing move with Hasbro , that was it for the Fantastic Four and thegamingandsketch card restrictionsremain in place this year .
A specific educational activity give by the Marvel ChairmanIsaac Perlmutterthat the comical be cancelled ( though they were given the time to do it in the manner of their choosing ) and all Fantastic Four licensing was cancelled now . Posters were even rend down from the Marvel offices walls feature the FF so that he did n’t have to see them when he walk through the offices . Marvel staffer , some of whom have never even spoken to Bleeding Cool before or since , got in touch to deal their scandalization and go for that photo would force modification — but despite the story getting wide play across the metier fromTHRtoComic BooktoCinemablendtoScreencrushtoSlashfilmtoNerdisttoCollidertoForbes , though not wide enough for George to notice , there was no variety .
And so the comic book was cancel before the Secret Wars event . And in Secret Wars , Jonathan Hickman take Mr. Fantastic , Sue Storm , and Franklin off the board , while the affair joined the Guardians of the Galaxy , the Human Torch joined the Inhumans and Parker Industries took over the Baxter Building .
And that was that . executive like Tom Brevoort , however , denied that they would be cancel due to anything like this , say that the only reasonableness such a comedian would be cancelled was down to sale . At the time , he enounce :
" My denying rumors is n’t likely to keep anybody who ’s prostrate to paranoia from panicking . But really , does this even seem remotely plausible to mass ? Does it make any sense ? ethnic music have a very foreign idea as to the way a business is go . "
And for sure , I was cognizant that there was a strain of intellection at Marvel from some hoi polloi that the FF comedian were only publish out of some sort of nostalgia and that the brand could do with a residuum . But they were a minority sight at the publisher and it took the edict from Ike Perlmutter to pop the first family of Marvel .
At ComicsPRO this year , Tom Brevoortwas still double up down on the cut-rate sale explanationfor the continued non - publication of the serial . But in the Newsarama article , he is right away belie by Jonathan Hickman . Who seems to admit the account as very plausible indeed .
George describes a " somewhat surprising lack of Fantastic Four – Marvel ’s real first superhero category " which , if he’dgoogledonce , should n’t have been a surprise . And quotes Hickman as pronounce :
" I think it ’s pretty uncouth knowledge at this gunpoint that Marvel is n’t publishingFantastic Four because of their disagreement with Fox … "
Pretty plebeian knowledge it seemed to everyone but Tom Breevort and George Marston !
Well , George did n’t :
I have not read and was not aware of your coverage .

And remember when Tom Brevoort said ?
" We are publishingFantastic Four . Next month , we will be publishingFantastic Four . A twelvemonth from now , assuming that it ’s still sell well , we will be publishingFantastic Four . "
Well , Hickman said :
" We knew a year or so out that the Fantastic Four as a belongings was n’t going to be published at Marvel past 2015 . "
Ooooh !
UPDATE : Georgenow looks like sayingthat he was aware of the pieces but … " Yes I am sing about Rich Johnston and his uncanny trolls . I do not read or source BC because I do not use rumor or hearsay in reporting . " Except , of course , that in his article , he did use hearsay !
