Recently saw this on the local newsstand and thought, why not? I loved the
Superman magazine so I decided to pick this one up too
As a pure piece of marketing, it does its job admirably. It's got all the flotsam and jetsam typical for these types of magazines: reprints of classic
Fantastic Four stories that inspired the film, production details, and creator interviews where everyone involved claims that making the film was the best time they ever had doing anything ever! And of course, lots of incentives to subscribe to Marvel Unlimited...
I wasn't a
Fantastic Four reader growing up so it was fun discovering some classic stories. I haven't dove into the reprints that thoroughly yet but I'll give them a closer look one of these evenings...
Speaking of
Superman, I bought it the day it was released on digital as atonement for not catching it in theatres. I'll do the same when
Fantastic Four is released in September. Anecdotally speaking, there's been very little interest among friends and co-workers to see
any films theatrically this summer...
The roommate and I are planning to watch
Superman sometime this week - can't wait!
