Fantastic Four #31 (676) The Kids

Yeah, in this issue there's some fantastic exploration of conceptual space blah blah blah, but everyone really wants to know more about those former kids of the Future Foundation, right? As well as someone that hasn't been seen (to my knowledge) since The Initiative...

This feels a lot like SOP for Slott, with him digging out old characters to wow the fanboys.

Except in this case, it's an old character that he created.

I'm still holding out for the Becky Ryan cameo or Maggie Neuntauben movie posters appearing somewhere

I don't know what The Reckoning is.

OK. But what is it?

Thankfully I doubt that will happen

Which is good because Dan Slott's writing is absolute garbage and always has been

And the only thing I can think of worse than his shitty writing on an ongoing is his shitty writing on an event where he ruins characters from across the marvel universe

I like Dan Slott’s writing...

I meant no offence to his fans but yeah personally I can't stand him or his writing at all and so the news of him writing an event would be about as welcome to me as getting a call from my doctor that I should come in to talk about some worrying test results

I've been reading comics since I was 8.
There's a Marvel story I've wanted to tell since I was 9.
Hickman reminded me "I was telling someone the other day about you pitching me this when we were on a plane to Dublin. 12 years ago!"
Tomorrow, I finally officially pitch that story.


I know Dan is bad with deadlines, but this is ridiculous

Oh, I missed this article!
Honnestly, even after that Empyre epilogue, I didn't want to get my hopes up, because it seemed to me that Slott was too happy playing with big name characters to go back to his old plots.
Now there is nothing official yet but it looks like he didn't give up on it. I hope that Gauntlet and Southpaw will still have a big part in it. Heck, maybe that's related to this "Last Annihilation" announced for this summer. I'm all for another Slott/Ewing space event, especially if it involves more C-listers this time.

as a pansexual whose friend group is exclusively queer and asexual I just can't take it seriously when stories treat a female character going "I never want to date a boy again!" as Serious Business

I don think I have ever seen it treated as serious business (as opposed to joking "haha young people" ignorance)

Um, am I missing something? I was under the impression that polyamorous relationships for Arboro's race was the norm and he didn't tell Val because he didn't realize it wasn't the norm for Earthlings. How is he a bad guy for cultural confusion?

He isn't, Dan Slott is just a terrible writer

Is this Bentley the Wizard's son?
