   And the hits keep coming! Always looking forward to this, now more so then before what with the “main” storyline of Hickman’s wrapped up… interested to see whats to come.

   I’m switching to trades on this now that the main saga has concluded, but I’m psyched that Garney is doing the art!

   Isn’t Hickman leaving soon? How many issues does he have left?

     At the time of the last issue of Fan4 – Hickman tweeted that he had about 15 issues of Fan4/FF combined left.

     Hickman’s last issue is Fantastic Four 611 and FF 23.

     My guess is this is where Bendis will end up after he’s done with Avengers. Just my 2 cents.

   are the last 7 issues just going to be an epilogue? I was wondering if he was going to pick up the parliament of doom story or carry it over to the avengers if he writes it.

   Hickman made Fantastic 4/FF one of my favorite books. His run is up there as one of the greatest runs on a book.

     Agreed 100%, Hickman can do no wrong in my eyes!

   The preview on CBR has Garney’s art looking a bit shakey….Not sure why Epting or Kitson couldn’t finish out the run. But I trust in Garney so maybe it was scanned poorly on the site.

   For all of you who are asking, Hickman has said that the upcoming issues of F4 & FF will be either one-and-done or short arcs. Basically, after doing a 3+ year story, he’s going the other way to play against his reputation as a “writer who only does long stories.”

     Personally I would advise you to start from the beginning ‘cuz there’s so much you’ve missed, like a lot!!!!!

     You should be fine, this looks like a one and done to me, especially with their being a 605.1 before 606 arrives.

    It’s worth getting it all in trade.

    It’s a pretty tremendous run.

      Cool. Thanks for the advice. Looks like it’s off to Amazon for me…

    What a great issue all the reviews were spot-on, these one-shots are gonna be (hopefully) just as good as what has come before.
    Whomever is going to take over has some very big shoes/boots to fill!

    Jonathan Hickman you are the best!!!!!!

    I love one-shots and, unfortunately, I think they are not used terribly often bc it probably doesn’t sell as well if there is no cliffhanger to get readers coming back the next month. There’s just no other medium that can put that much story into such a succinct space. Well done Mr. Hickman!

      For Marvel it might not be great (as far as pulling readers back month to month)…But I prefer “one and done”s. This way if money is tight or I miss an issue, I can pick up the next one without being completely lost.

    This was a good story. I like the look into the future for Ben and I loved the ending.

      Agreed, which is saying something with all of the great issue he’s done.

    This was a great, poignant one-shot. Really well done, both art and story. It made me tear up. 5/5
