Looking through the May solicitaions in this week's Comic Shop News and I came across a solo issue called The Fantastic Four: A Death in the Family. So I'm all WTF? In the description, to my horror it states that Sue Storm is DEAD! This is solicited to come out on 5/24. Now, I wouldn't call myself the world's biggest FF fan, but I have always liked them . So I was a litle taken aback by the news that Sue Storm is going to die!

I'm sure in the long run she'll come out just fine

marvel is not going to permantly kill one of the fantastic four

I heard that the issue is not related to Civil War, but that could be to lead us astray.

Oh, I know she'll be back. In fact, it almost alludes to the fact that she returns in that issue.

I thought that I read, that her death actually takes place during the current events in the FF comic, which is a lead in to Civil War.

I was one of the ones that originally thought that the death of Invisible Woman would be one of the major events to kick off the rift between the hero's in Civil War.

But I now also recall reading somewhere recently that Civil War most directly effects the civil war by it splitting them down the middle, with two of them in favor of Registration (Reed and either Ben or Johnny), and two of them against it (Sue and whoever is left over).

And Johnny will be taken out of the picture for awhile too, he's going to get hurt and put into a coma.

Wonder how Sue will die and how Reed will cope. I have read where this incident will change Reed's mind about the superhuman registration act.

I believe there will be 2 memebers of the Fantastic Four after Civil War, if Sue is brought back that quickly after dying I doubt she'll be back with the team right away.

And who will replace the two fallen members of the FF? Shold be interesting to see, well, if it's done right.







.

Wizard has said it will be one of these combos.

a) Luke Cage and Jessica JOnes
b) Human Galactus and Silver Surfer
c) Storm and Black Panther
d) She-Hulk and Hawkeye

I'm personally going with Storm and Black Panther

Sh-Hulk and Hawkeye would fill similar roles to Thing and Human Torch. And She-Hulk seemed to stick out to me, because of her previous membership.

I'm going with Storm and Black Panther, I don't think Thing will be the one to leave the FF so they won't need another heavy hitter. BP has a very close relationship with the FF as well, and with Storm and BP getting married it would be a way to keep them in one of Marvels top books.

Cage has been a member too.

Unless the Avengers totally blow up in Civil War, I'd think Cage would stay there. He seems to be really psyched to be a member of the team, and has a lot of ideas he wants to run through with the team.

The FF wouldn't be ones to go do the things he'd like (ie help out neighborhoods, fight drug dealers, and the like).
