Is this true? Ben can become human for two weeks? I mean it just seems really random.

I agree Johnny's going to "die". Reed was already presumed dead. Sue's future self just died. Ben died a while back and God was a comic book artist.

Isn't this sad that the majority of regular comic book heroes have been dead and brought back? I know there's a death brewing in the X-Men too.

I think it's sad that Joe Quesada and his merry band of dimwits can't write interesting stories.

How dry is the "Let's kill a major character" plot crutch by now?

No one will die but Reed and Thing will be merged into
The Fantastic Stretching Thing

Actually, I've been seeing plenty of ads lately showing only three members.

The Human Torch is going to combuste...

Also Thing is coming out of the closet :-/

The last Fantastic 3 add I saw pictured Reed, Johnny and Ben in new Fantastic 3 costumes. Sue was nowhere to be seen, but she is the Invisible Woman after all.

The Thing finally reveals his Thing and we finally know if "everything" about him is made of rock.

I saw a similiar picture but it showed Reed, Ben and Sue and they were wearing the 3 costumes, possbily saying Johnny was gone.

I think it's sad that you kids don't appreciate Jonathan Hickman.

I'm sure they've released images of the Fantastic Three with each member missing. Gotta keep folks guessing.

I would think the Fantastic 3 is going to be due to the Thing just being an avenger and not a f4 member for a short while. After all, its comics

They discover he is the Lindbergh baby.

I thought they got replacements if they lost a member? They can clone Sentry to make him the Thing Replacement...


Yea, that cloning Thor thing...I am not going to let you live that down Reed, never!

Vic???
Is that you ??? Or just one of the robots ???

Geezus that's like "how many licks......" "let's find out"
1) In Fantastic Four issues #347-#349, the founding members were thought dead

2)In Fantastic Four #385 when the group thought Mr. Fantastic had died

3)Crystal had a stint with the Fantastic Four, beginning in Fantastic Four #81 when Susan Storm left after giving birth to Franklin

4)Both Crystal and Sharon Ventura, the superheroine sometimes known as Ms. Marvel joined Thing and the Human Torch as FF members after Mr. Fantastic left to be with his wife in Fantastic Four #306.

5)After Ben lost his powers Mr. Fantastic hired Luke Cage, then known as Power Man, to serve as Thing's replacement. His tenure lasted from Fantastic Four #168-#170.

6)After Secret Wars Thing actually stayed on Battleworld for quite a while, and during his absence the Jade Giantess, She-Hulk, was brought on board. These things happen.

7) I'm not even going to talk about Fantastic Force.

8) Reed and Sue Richards left the squad in FANTASTIC FOUR #544

I could keep going but I won't
