I don’t care, I didn’t like it anyway. (To be fair, I only read the first storyline, but it was painful. For the reasons Caesar previously mentioned.)

So they're zombies now? DC, WHERE ARE YOUR EDITORS ALSO?? How does stupid stuff like this keep happening? I just read your mini review on Titans Blackest Night. So they’re zombies now?

Actually I kind of forgot about that, but I didn't have a problem with the general idea of Doom having a former "master" or what not. I had a TON of other problems with that story though, like how Doom survived a series of giant shark attacks millions of years in the past (though I did like his answer: "I am Doom."), why the Master was trying to get Reed to kill his past self in the first place -- seriously, what was the point of all that? Why the Master plucked him out of reality to offer him the chance to kill him and then plop him back like, two weeks later for no reason...and perhaps my biggest question of all is what the fuck is up with Doom now?? By the end of that arc he's nearly all-powerful and gained a sense of wisdom and benevolence that apparently comes with omnipotence, but outside of the FF series, isn't he building death robots for Loki and shit? Why do I have the feeling that no one will ever mention Doom's god-like power again and hope we'll all forget about it. Fuck, Marvel. Where are your editors?? For that matter, where are your damn balls? Just because your writer is Mark Millar doesn't mean you should let him do stuff that's retarded. Ha ha!

HOWEVER, the FF run with Millar and Hitch was NOT stellar. The second half was much better than the first, I'll grant you that, but the whole opening story where Reed Richards beats up that stupid robot with his bigger anti-Galactus robot, that was straight up RETARDED. It was such a thinly veiled attempt to make Reed a badass...to make him a big deal, to be cool. Millar as much as said so in interviews. But the whole premise was so was as cheap and thoughtless as a three dollar brain damaged hooker. The fact that this Captain robot or whatever it was called existed that could literally beat up every super hero in the Marvel Universe ALL AT ONCE, was so stupid. As if I'm supposed to believe that, and as if the existence of a robot like that wouldn't render super heroes obsolete. Oh, Magneto is attacking again? Send the robot. Hulk on a rampage? Send the robot. Loki attacking with ten thousand frost giants? Robot. Millar can be so goddamn stupid sometimes. Ha ha ha ha, Isaac…

It's hard to see Fantastic Four as a flagship book when it only sells about as well as Thunderbolts while under the pen of Mark Millar and Brian Hitch. I don’t know, Isaac.

(Just because Marvel doesn't always treat the FF as a flag ship title doesn't mean anything) But seriously, I don't get the Elliot reference- keeping in mind on halloween this one song was playing and I was all "who does this one?" the answer being Lady Gaga, and then I foolishly asked who did the NEXT song, the answer being again Lady Gaga. I'M NOT NECESSARILY HIP! Owen, you can’t push a flagship Marvel title like it’s an underdog!

Now I can't stop noticing. Now go buy the last three issues of Fantastic Four. I didn’t even notice that there was a Missy Elliot reference until you pointed it out. Now I can’t stop noticing.

If so, I apologize. I have no idea who made a Missy Eliot reference- hopefully it wasn’t me, unthinkingly.
