Warlord of Mars 1 - Off to an interesting start. I haven’t read any of the WoM series nor did I see the movie. This is all new for me.

Dude, ya got to check out the movie!!
Sure it under-performed at the theater, sure it has its share of issues (I for one didn't like the way Carter was able to jump so high/far ... yes maybe accurate to the book, but it didn't look/feel right in the movie) and sure I will always show love for most "pulp" era stories and characters so I may not be the best judge, but it is a pretty decent flick. Way better than what people say.
Of course that is just my opinion.

But I don't think I am alone ... right guys?
Guys ? ? ?
Fantastic Four 5 - And I’m out. This issue was terrible. Saved itself a little with Reeds “surprise” at the end but not enough.
And sadly, the next issue was even worse.
Glad you are able to leave, to get out and away from this crap ... wish I could.
I don’t know why Marvel has let this happen. When they brought them back it should have been with a top tier writer and a top tier artist. This is an embarrassment.
That is EXACTLY what it is. A damn shame is another phrase I would throw in there. THE Marvel title for so many years is now a "nothing" comic. Yes, its relevancy and time may have passed, but it doesn't deserve this. Not this. I would honestly, 100% truly, rather not have an FF book than go through this crap.
With that said, be sure to check out Mark Waid's Prodigal Son three issue mini when it hits the MU. 3 parts, 3 different titles. The first Prodigal Son: Fantastic Four was so much more of what the FF can still be. Even with Franklyin and Val being so much older now. True, it was a little too comedic, I could have used a little less humor in the book (even though it wasn't a "funny book" like Peter Porker or the like it was still a little too much with the volume of humor), but even still, it was so much better than what we have been forced to read (hahaha "forced"

). I hope the next issue, Profigal Son: Silver Surfer, continues the FF momentum
