The end of an era right here. With the last issue of FF, Marvel puts on hiatus one of the oldest and best-loved of its properties. Sure the sales might not have been there for the last few years, but these are legendary characters.

I’m sure too, that at some point after Secret Wars (and after the FF movie comes out *ahem*), we’ll see another Fantastic Four comic. That’ll be a ways off though, as we already know that Johnny Storm will be coming to the Inhumans book as a regular character, and I’ve heard that Reed Richards will be figuring into a new book post-Summer as well.

So for now, this is it for the first family of Marvel Comics. I can’t say I’ve read an FF book in the last decade, but it still makes me a little sad to see the team go… even if it is just for the time being.

Fantastic Four #645 hist the racks from an all-star team of writers and artists (James Robinson, Karl Kesel, Louise Simonson, Tom Defalco, Jeff Parker, Leonard Kirk, Joe Bennett, David Marquez, Tom Grummet & Pascal Campion), on April 29th.
