Jonathan Hickman to end his F4/FF run in October
Sad news: it's been confirmed that Jonathan Hickman's awesome run on Fantastic Four and FF will end in October with Fantastic Four #611 and FF #23. No news yet on who might be taking over; I just hope it's not somebody who's going to immediately overturn all the great stuff that he's done with Doom

I have loved this run so much that I also hope someone good will follow it up and keep up with the kids, and the growing-up job he's done for Johnny as well.

Yeah, I'm wondering if that's going to be coming in FF #16 next month, since that's supposed to be a sort of wrap-up epilogue issue. I expected it to happen in FF #15, but I guess they want to let the illusion that he's 'dead' linger on for a little while first. (As if any of us actually believe it.)

I love the slightly darker more determined side that Hickman's given him since he came back, and I hope the rest of the run manages to establish that firmly enough that whoever comes next sticks with it. I'd actually quite like to see Johnny leading the F4 for a while; it would be an interesting new role for him, and I could see Reed maybe stepping back from the leadership role and focusing more on the Future ( ... )

As cute as dancing and watching TV Johnny was over in ASM, still too much reversion to banter. But that's Slott (although I would pay a lot for another run of him on She-Hulk. A lot).

It's particularly ridiculous because there used to be this whole thing where Doom, Namor and T'challa had a good working relationship as fellow monarchs, and T'challa even called Doom one time for a scientific consult when he was on the Avengers. But a lot of Hudlin's Black Panther run seemed to involve him casually shoving characters into whatever roles he wanted regardless of their previous characterisation. :/ I hate it when people use the fact that a character is a villain as an excuse to just give him whatever bad traits they feel like.
