Fraction is overrated except for The Invincible Iron Man, which will probably be ruined by the new team.
Marvel NOW Fantastic Four and FF Creative Teams and Covers Revealed

These were seriously the only two Marvel books I was reading. I know I've seen people say it before and roll my eyes, but sorry Marvel, I'm out. The writer switch is like going from filet mignon to TV dinner salisbury steak.
@Billy Batson Would you like to taste my tears? (I did LOL at your pic though...)

Now unless Doom flies in on Space Punisher's back shouting campy 70's phrases, I don't know if I can follow the first FF anymore. The second FF just looks dumb, She-Hulk and Ant-man are the only positives, a C-list Inhuman and half a Thing are just mediocre.

Gotta say Fraction taking over FF is a catastrophe, but he had to ruin another book so why not?
Lol
I'll grant that I only read 4 page of comments, but the one thing I haven't seen anyone remark about is the male-to-female dynamic. The FF team is exactly the opposite of The Four. I'm curious to know if this was done on purpose or if it's just a coincidence...?
love the artist, not impressed with the writer....skeptical about the lineup, eh, it's worth a looksee
Art aside... this need to shove the Marvel Now logo in the cover art and not squeeze it into the overly large and badly formatted red bottom bars is irksome. Or at least it will irk me if they keep it up throughout the entire relaunch.
I get it, video games do the solid bar standardized logo thing to but at least everything stays in the darn bar. That logo needs to squish itself back in.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! FF looks freaking stupid as hell!!!! That comment is of course an understatement. I thought the original FF (referring to the Future Foundation) was a cool team, with cool costumes and an overall cool concept. If this is suppose to also be Future Foundation then it super sucks! I really hope that book turns out to be the new revamped Freedom Force instead. Ha ha, that way I lose no sleep over it, otherwise it's another great series with future potential just completely ruined. I never was a fan of Allred on super-hero books (just look at that cover, horrible) and from what I've read about Fraction's work, that doesn't bode well for the book either. Plus a female wearing a suit of armor that looks like the Thing? Are they serious with that? That's got ridiculous written all over it alone!
Hey, at least they didn't screw up the classic Fantastic Four on the artwork. You can never go wrong with Mark Bagley. He grew into one of my fav artist of all time.

Not sure about Farmer inking, it makes Bagley's work look too much like Alan Davis
I was thinking the EXACT same thing! Farmer's inking over Bagley pencils results in a look that is very similar to Alan Davis' finalized work. It seems like it actually takes away from the unique look that Bagley's pencils have always had.
