Coming in Sept - The Fantasticks 1602

[Iron Maiden]

I don't know about anyone else but I really liked Neil Gaiman's "1602" from a couple of years ago. This September, there will be a spinoff based on the 1602 version of the FF called "the Fantasticks" written by Peter David, who some of you will recall did the FF movie novelization.

Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by PASCAL ALIXE
Cover by LENIL YU

Doom returns! The Four from the Fantastik's greatest enemy has an insidious plan that takes them to the ends of the Earth! Peter David (FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, X-FACTOR) takes the reins with superstar artist-to-be Pascal Alixe (Superman, The Legion) for the eagerly awaited spin-off from Neil Gaiman's 1602. What does Doom want? Why doesn't Invisible Woman want to fight him? And what does Shakespeare have to do with it?

32 PGS./Cardstock Cover/ Rated T+ ...$3.50

Looks great. I loved the fact that the FF was a tale spread by bards around the world. Their origin was the best out of all the 1602 guys in my opinion.

Can't wait for this book.

That's awesome.

Thats sick. If I remember correct wasn't sue stuck invisibile or did we just not see her turn visible. What about Jonny was he stuck as a flame?

 

[Iron Maiden]

I think you are right, Sue was stuck being invisible along with Ben in his "monster" form but I think the Torch could change back, just like in the original FF.

1602 was great and I loved how Doom was there. The fantasticks made the story even better. I wonder if they will continue some the characters like they're doing with the f4.
