FF
Is a reboot or a renumbering?
Used to love that one. May pick up the trade.

 

[Master Zik]

Renumbering is pretty much a relaunch.

Marvel does not reboot or at least they haven't yet.

The Future Foundation trades are tied directly in to the Fantastic Four books. You could get the hardcover with both. Since after F4 600 FF was launched and thne both books came out together.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Marvel now does not reboot.
Renumbering is not the same to me. I much prefer renumbering to rebooting. With comicvine and wikipedia, if you were truly interested, you could catch up on the story whenever. No need to restart. Renunumbering is just a marketing ploy to attract new customers. Uncanny X-Men that just released would be 560sum. New comic readers would see 560sum and be intimidated. However if you just renumber them after an even like Fear itself or AvX new customers pick up the even comic and the new comics and feel like they are starting a whole new story, even though they are starting a new chapter. If it brings new comic fans I am all for it. But technically these renumbers start off basically where you left off. Or where a different series left off. In the case of Uncanny X-Men they are starting where all new x-men left off in an early issue, which starts from where AvX consequences left off, which starts from AvX and so on and so on. It is still just one long continuous story.

I do like how they change the art style whenever they reboot though.

FF is future foundation? I thought it was Fantastic 4 nvm.

 

[Master Zik]

2 different books, both deal with the Fantastic Four in a way though. Initially it was a select group of geniuses formed by Reed Richards that brought in exceptional children to teach them. This was all during F4, then Johnny Storm died and that they launched the Future Foundation book and stopped Fantastic 4. Then when Johnny came back they brought back F4 and the two books have been closely linked since.

 

[erickm713]

Guardians of The Galaxy 0.1 and Uncanny X-men are easily this weeks best for Marvel, Bendis is amazing as always

 

[tdogg2k]

Green Arrow Episode 15 - Dodger

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Roy Harper teaser (Speedy or Red Arrow)

 

[sunshineblotters]

Man I have finally caught up to all comics except the days of future past trade. This is one long *** trade. Issue 138 was over 60 pages and the dofp story doesnt start until 141. I should get there soon though.

I can't wait for all new x-men this week

 

[sunshineblotters]

Also Uncanny Avengers is shaping up to be a great story despite Issue 1 and 2 sucking

 

[hiimgroceryboy]

dropped Uncanny Avengers aloooooooong time ago. dont plan on going back anytime soon.

Iam enjoying Hawkeyes solo book tho. all 8 issues were

tracksuit gangsters > the avengers.

 

[Master Zik]

I see what Remender is going for the but the narration for the last 2 issues has been rough :x

Hope things change for good with the Coipel issue and here on out with Acuna at the helm.

In this Looooong time, there has only been 4 issues so far. Its funny. That comic is so far behind schedule that the ads are dated. Says issue x will be out by y date. That date will be a few days away and there arent even half way there

 

[Master Zik]

It's really not that bad. The book was never slated to double ship. It's only missed one month of releasing and push backs.

Came out in Oct so there should only be 5 issues with what would be it's 6th this March. They can always make up for that when they get a more dependable and faster artist on the book. It'd take just one month of double shipping.

my comic book shop guy told me about hawkeye

They originally planned the 5th one to be out by january. It is march and they just released the 4th one.

That's basically what I just said except for the 5th one being out by Jan.. They've only missed one month. March just started.


The book has been a monthly book that's missed one month.

 

[sunshineblotters]

Again the original release schedule had them releasing the first 5 randomly 2-3 weeks apart like All New has been doing then eventually settling to once a month. If issue 5 was supposed to be at the beginning of jan and issue 6 in late Jan /early February and they just NOW released 6 then they are two issues behind. They wouldnt be behind if they just said they'd be on a monthly schedule since the very beginning.
