Jordan was officially Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot/exercise in rights retention, the Internet has been on fire with a mixture of derision and support Like a fanboy who doesn't get their way, I took to the message boards to bitch; in doing so, I found myself on the uncomfortable side[...]
Either you care so much about "the source material" that any and all deviations from it render every Hollywood adaptation of comic books completely unwatchable or you use this excuse selectively, whenever you feel threatened by the inclusion of minorities in your previously all white , fictional, superhero adventures.
It was a few hours of daylight[...]
So, Michael B Jordan has been cast as Johnny Storm, a character usually portrayed in the comic books as a young white blonde fellow. Some of the internet
Here he shows the new red costumed Fantastic Four in both original pencils and then inks Not sure what this is for… he posted without comment It would make a very nice cover though.

The times, they are a-changin' (even more) over at the Fantastic Four reboot headquarters A black Johnny Storm (Michael B Jordan), and now, maybe a female Dr Doom? This is the latest news, via THR.

Fantastic Four reboot director Josh Trank has come out via Twitter to debunk the new synopsis that's been floating around:
that synopsis is definitely not the synopsis or anything close to the synopsis i don't know who put that out byyee.
— Josh Trank (@josh_trank) January 24, 2014
And he would certainly know better than a casting website[...]
Sounds like rumors of Trank doing more of an Ultimate Fantastic Four story may have been correct.
We saw a glimpse of it in last week's Fantastic Four #16, finishing Matt Fraction's run on the title with a little help from his friends, while he took time out not to write Inhuman.
But in his final issue, he rewrote some of the basic ways in which many superpowers work in the Marvel Universe,[...]
Uh oh, did Miles Teller speak too soon? We really didn't expect Fox to let such a major piece of casting news hang out there before it's official, so lo and behold, here comes a Variety piece to, if nothing else, keep the speculation going a little while longer.
Fantastic Four has not cast anyone yet,[...]

Thank you Clown Fatale #3 for that particular image.
What, BPRD #115, does that mean you might all get cancelled by Fox?
Yes, God Is Dead, I'm very serious.

Remember that fuss during NYCC about the hastily pulled IGN article announcing the relaunch of Fantastic Four from James Robinson And Leonard Kirk? Well, however the signals got crossed back then, it's officially official, this time from USA Today:
The FF evicted from the Baxter Building and facing the Avengers The Thing in prison for murder[...]
Eyebrows were raised this afternoon when IGN reported the following (which has since been removed):
…now we know who's taking over long term: writerJames Robinson and artist Leonard Kirk.
Not only that, but Marvel announced at the Inhumanity panel today that Fantastic Four would be relaunching with a new #1 in February to celebrate the new creative direction.
The story[...]

Another look through a bunch of this week's comics! The Carry On team debut in It Came, as official British Army soldiers to provide some much needed
Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the most easily CG-able big bad in the Marvel Universe. It was the biggest single question surrounding Mark Millar's appointment as Fox's "Marvel Tsar", I suppose, and he's answered during a Q&A with SFX magazine and their readers.

Earlier this week, we ran rumours of Matt Fraction dropping off FF, and CBR have just confirmed that and more – that Matt will be leaving Fantastic Four and FF early – including issues already solicited.
CBR states Fraction informed them that "his last solely written issue of Fantastic Four will be #12 (solicited for September),[...]
Other comic books than Fantastic Four have had far worse fake British accent in them I mean, Phenom didn't say "pip pip" "I say" or end the sentence in "wot?" at all.

A few Marvel Comics changes….
Christopher Sebela, co-author of issues of Captain Marvel with Kelly Sue DeConnick, will also co-author Fantastic Four #11 with Matt Fraction.
They've now decided that Astonishing X-Men #66 will be drawn by Amilcar Pinna, instead of the ubiquitous TBA.
And Marvel's Ender's Game collection is getting a new movie cover (right).
Which will make[...]

Richards, a university student, was rooming at the house.
In today's Fantastic Four, we get another look at that first meeting.
Why is this notable? Well, because this is how it was portrayed the last time in a Marvel comic…
I think it's fair to say Marvel have moved on, yes?
