Spoiler: Guess Who Buys The Big One In Fantastic Four #587?

Being sold a day early has its perks and spoilers, but now the comic industry and fanbase know via the interwebz who actually dies in the pages of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four #587.

SPOILERS AHEAD in case you didn't see earlier, so look at your own risk!

SPOILER WARNING!

The New Fantastic Four?

Well, this is shaping up to be a new year surprise for next year...


After the event-shattering Fantastic Four story "Three" concludes, it seems that things will be changing permanently for Marvel's First Family whether they like it or not come March... and they'll be getting new members and a reboot in the process as well. From the cover to the new series "Fantastic Four #1", it seems than Nathan Richards and Doctor Doom will be the possible new members of the team... and it also foreshadows who among the original four will bite the dust. The Human Torch and Invisible Woman, aka Johnny Storm and Susan Storm Richards, are not seen in this picture, so one of them is sure to meet their demise. I don't know who it'll be, but I have my hunch. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available, but for now, visit Marvel.com for more info and a look at the past and present of the Fantastic Four.

And Then There Were The Fantastic... Three?

Something's afoot this September with Marvel's first family, and it may spell the death of one of the Fantastic Four.

Beginning with Fantastic Four #583, a new storyline will begin that will have dire consequences for one of the more memorable superhero teams. Via Newsarama, Marvel made the announcement that Captain America artist Steve Epting will be joining FF scribe Jonathan Hickman to do a six issue story arc simply entitled "Three"... and from the looks of things, it won't be a happy change for the cosmic ray powered heroes. Newsarama conducted an interview with Mr. Hickman, which you can read at their post here. Watch out for "Three" to start and proceed in the aftermath of the "War of 4 Cities" storyline this September.
