Does it stay good up to issue 600?
FF is the best book Marvel is putting out right now. The Fantastic Four was replaced by the Future Foundation. And then they put together the best superhero team EVER.

100 pages of original material by solid creative teams for 8 bucks doesn't really seem so bad. If that were bound better, you would be finding that on Graphic novel shelves for $15-18 as marvel are beasts when it comes to TPB prices.

A standard $2.99 comic is 20 story pages, down from 22 pages just a year ago.

How many actual story pages was that issue?

ok, cool. I bought the Fantastic Four issues because they were on sale for 99 cents last weekend. I wish it was all on sale still.

Also, quite frustratingly, FF isn't available on Comixology. WTF?!

It's a shame that the FF issues are not available to you.

After DOCTOR DOOM joins the team, Valeria and Reed cut loose and recruit several other villains to join the Future Foundation. I love that Reed Richard and Doctor Doom are on a team with the Mad Thinker and the High Evolutionary. They recruit these villains because several Reed Richardses have escaped from other alternate realities to the Marvel 616 with calamitous intent.

And then they have a crossover with X-Men. In the story, Doctor Doom and Magneto have a touching moment since they are both good guys now. And like proper Marvel good guys, they don't trust each other.

This was a great issue and a bit high just simply in terms of dropping that much dollar on one book, but yeah compared to what they normally put into the monster 100page editions, this was an absolute Gem :)

As of today, FF #12 is available on Comixology. That's the only issue available.

Marvel could be receiving my dollars. Instead they aren't.
