Marvel Now/ReEvolution Ongoing Discussion (Spoilers)

^Yes. Both he and Sue circa Avengers 297-305. They were on leave from the FF at the time.

[JD]

Oh, cool. I didn't know any of the FF had ever been Avengers.

[Guy Gardener]

Avengers 300, while he was supposed to be living in the suburbs with Sue. Ben was running the Fantastic Four. They only stayed for half a dozen issues.

That was a very specific time in Marvel history. Avengers 300 showed Steve Rogers in his "Captain" uniform and was an "Inferno" crossover to boot!

The Thing is an Avenger right now. Has been for over a year. He was also part of the West Coast Avengers back in the 80s.

Johnny is the only FF member who's never been an Avenger if memory serves. Even most of the fill-in members are Avengers too.

[Nerys Myk]

Marvel has filed to claim the Miracleman trade mark and already own Marvelman. Which makes sense, as the character has appeared under both names.

I'll idly speculate that one name can be used to continue the story started by Moore, while the other can be used to bring Marvelman into the Marvel Universe. The most powerful hero in the Marvel Universe is a Brit!!!!!

Realistically they just don't want anyone else using the name.

[Guy Gardener]

Ben was just following a girl. Flamebird? he was following her, and spent too much time hanging out with the west coast Avengers that they thought that he was into them. Ben wasn't. Hawkeye asked him to sign up. He said no thank you and rolled off into the sunset with the girl who starts crying... "Why didn't they ask me? I wanted to be an Avenger, but they didn't ask me."

There was an avengers spoltlight, solo avengers (A mini series.)from about a year or two back, maybe before he died, where Johnny had a big blub about how he had never been asked to join the Avengers.

I just finished reading Fantastic Four #610. Next month is the final issue of Jonathan Hickman's glorious run. I have said this before and I most likely will continue to say it during Fraction's run...he's going to be missed so much. What a glorious bastard. I can't wait to see what he has in mind for his grand finale. The cover teases the Future Foundation along with Galactus and Silver Surfer on it.

I noticed on I believe the Fraction FF cover we have who I assume is an older Johnny Storm? I don't know who it is. I don't think it's older Franklin, it's a dude with long gray hair and an eye patch. Also I found it curious on the Fantastic Four cover that Val looks a little older on it.


Also that New Avengers cover...it should be noted all those characters are Illuminanti Edit: Ah never mind. The article did note that. LOL

[Turtletrekker]

Huh. We didn't get any previews for next week's books from CBR, Newsarama, and so forth. They're usually on-line by Thursday evening.

[Mr. Adventure]

Haven't bought a comic in years, feel so out of touch, but some of those X-books actually look like they're getting good again. Part of me wants to check it out but part of me's scared to start getting into back into it...

[Turtletrekker]

^The Marvel Now! books are supposed to be good jumping on points for pretty much the entire line. Building on what came before, of course, but with new story-arcs and fresh approaches.

[Guy Gardener]

With how they're melding the mutants into the Avengers and other teams, it almost seems like they're trading hostages so that another war doesn't start up.

Actually?

If fear itself had finished differently, lasted longer or the Phoenix turned up sooner?

The Serpent vs. the Phoenix?

What if comics always seem like a good idea on the cover.

It could be Reed's father, Nathaniel Richards. He's usually hanging out with the Richards kids. Could have been Johnny, but more likely Nathaniel. He was around way back in the 90s when Franklin was sent to the future and came back with a pony tail and fronted FANTASTIC FORCE! Yes. It was as... 90s as it sounds.

But Reed's old man has been around for a quite a while now actually, at least a couple years. I think since just after Civil War. And Valeria seems to like hanging out with him

[Guy Gardener]

So when did Nathaniel admit he was lying when he claimed to be Doom's father as well?

They swept a lot of shit under the rug with Heroes Reborn.
