waid

The original Lee/Kirby run is the be-all end-all must read. It's some of the best stuff from silver age Marvel and even now remains one of the best runs.

After that, Byrne's run, Waid's run, and Hickman's run are the go-tos. Ultimate Fantastic Four is worth reading the Millar and Ellis runs, but starts to go down in quality after that.

Morrison's F4 mini was also pretty good.

Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four is worth reading
>>
>>84401717
Lee/Kirby run
Byrne run
Simonson run
Waid run
Hickman run

Don't listen to the fanboys telling you to read Morrison's mini. It was HORRIBLE. The only other FF books even worth mentioning are The Fantastic Four Roast, and maybe the X-Men crossover mini.
>>
>>84402836
The morrison mini was good if you pretend it's non-canon.

And you forgot Millar's run. Wich introduces Valeria's inteligence and it's therefore a must-read.
>>
Read all of it. It's all a cohesive story. Until #322. Then you can skip to Waid's run and rest the rest.
>>
>>84401717
Pretty much all of them. It's bizarre, I can't recall anyone who's done a completely terrible Fantastic Four save the movies.

I thought it was non-canon.

It's not said anywhere. And it ends up with the status-quo intact. It can be anything you want.

People actually care about the FF?

I just like Ben, and the rest of the team can just fuck off.

>>84404762
Why wouldnt we care about the best team in Marvel?

It's everything that Jack Kirby loved about the medium condensed and concentrated into a four-color science fiction fantasy adventure. I may not be the biggest FF fan (more of a Captain America cumswiller), but I do appreciate the love and care that went into Marvel's First Family

The World's Most Exploitative Cameo
>>
>>84405442
>two Things
Context? I can't remember this.
>>
A lot of people loved Waid's run but i think it was nothing more than okay. His "Unthinkable" arc was all shock.
>>
>>84405542
It's She-Thing. She came back in the more recent Robinson run just before Secret War.

>>84405289
Oh, sorry. I'm behind Byrne so I didnt knew.
>>
>>84405599
I loved the departure from can-do-no-wrong Bryne Doom and the fallout of trying and failing to fix Latveria.
>>
Unthinkable: Doom killing his girlfriend to get power was fucking BULLSHIT. He used to have morals. It was a hack move from a hack writer and Millar only made it worse with his "Master of Doom" arc. Doom got destroyed by recent writers. Him becoming "good" in Robinson's arc was way more in-character.
>>
>>84405675
At least "Master of Doom" gave us that awesome surprise cameo in Timebolts
>>
>>84405801
Oh, yeah. And it was pretty fun. Just not really in-character.
