Dinner is served

[stubbleupdate]

FF#1 came out this week.

It was amazing.

iFanboy made it their pick of the week, giving Hickman an FF hat-trick of the death issue, the final issue and the first issue that they made pick of the week.

There's some cracking ideas in this, and the new status quo is being developed nicely.

Because FF doesn't just stand for Future Foundation, it also stands for First Family.

Grandpa Richards is back living with the family. And he's made a roast.



I am metaphorically gagging to read more of this family dynamic and see how Reed deals with living with his dad (and how his Dad deals with meeting the Council)

Especially with the new uncle that's living with them now

I'm surprised no one's yet cracked wise about Franklin's prayer and Spider-Man being at the table during a certain part.

I'd have thought Sue at least might ask "Why? They have an entire Space Empire available to them now they're ruling what's left of the Kree Empire, don't they?"

[auggie18]

...I think I need to pick this up. It looks really cool.


Also, Reed's Dad, why shouldn't they terraform the moon? You aren't exactly giving any reasons not to, save for just being contrary to Reed.

[nightauditguy]

Is there a good reason that Peter joined the group when he's already an Avenger?

[rainspirit]

New fan-explanation on why Reed Richards is useless:
"Hey dad, I think I have the available technology to end global warming!"
"That's a terrible idea."
"Oh, okay."

[misterbug]

...Why do I hear him as Christopher Lee in my head?

[sherkahn]

That last page of the issue... wow, really realigning the status quo.

[greenmask]

"Clean your plate, son"

I like him.

[darkblade]

"Clean your plate son and if I catch you teraforming the moon then you're grounded."

[glimmung]

Well the obvious reason for not teraforming the moon is a serious lack of gravity. Kinda need that to for an atmosphere.

[stormseye]

Wasn't terraforming the moon a plot point of that Iron Man/Thor comic. And didn't Tony say hell no

[shadowpsykie]

one panel and i already love Reed's dad :D

Interesting. That's actually got a nice Baron/Rude on Nexus vibe.

Two questions, one somewhat facetious: [1] Does anyone really think Johnny's dead, and [2] do Reed, Ben, and Sue know Spider-Man's secret identity this time around? (One of the things that pissed me off most about OMD/BND is the idea that the FF no longer knew who Peter was. I loved the Slott/Templeton Spider-Man/Human Torch miniseries....)

[mullon]

While I'm not surprised by Spidey working with the FF, eating dinner with them seems a bit off.

...

Peter's costume is atrocious.

[big_daddy_d]

Didn't read the issue yet but already calling it, Reed's dad disagreeing with him, then telling him to clean his plate=my favorite scene in this issue.

[pyrotwilight]

Well, it is nice to have someone else who could at least argue with Reed on his level of SCIENCE! Because that tends to be a big issue with Reed.

Reed: I'm going to access this portal that in no way could be a dimension of monsters, aliens or other things as an experiment for science!
Johnny: You sure? What if there is someone on the other side who doesn't like it?
Reed: What have we said about speaking to me when I'm in a sciencey mood?
Johnny: That I should flame up, shut and be glad I'm allowed on this team because your wife is my sister?
Reed: There we go.

(Admittedly I went a bit more with a Richard Impossible kinda Reed but still...)

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I'm guessing the main reason they don't go into detail over the terraforming is because it's not meant to be the point of that development, but merely that Reed has someone who actually disagrees with him... and apparently enjoys it.

Getting into specifics would probably have distracted from that.

So, when is Hickman going to scribe a Marvel Event?

[jazzypom]

As much as I tend to go be all kvetching over special events (I have special event fatigue), I'd be well interested in a Hickman special event. He'd knock it out of the park. Let him do a special event next year, Marvel. Please?
