Fantastic Four change to Three....

The comic world is going to shake again. This time round another death of another classic character. This death will not be as big as Captain America or Superman. One of the Fantastic Four will be killed off in comics. I have to wonder at Marvel Comics, or should I say Disney, since they own Marvel Comics now. Do death of major characters really helps in sales? Face the facts. Everything in comics is about sales. The writers may be saying otherwise such as better creativities and such but if it doesn't bring enough money in it will be cancelled. Here I read that they even kind of hinted the death will be permanant. I think they make a big maistake. The Fantastic Four are some classic characters we grew up with. To make them as Fantastic Three is just nonsense. What makes them think the Fantastic Three is better? Remember the old days when the Fantastic Four cartoon only feature three members and left out the fire guy? Can't remember the name now because I haven't read much Marvel since all the big big events that confuses more than anticipating. That cartoon doesn't seem right and they never rename to Fantastic three. All the major characters go died usually comes back in some ways. They might even add in a new character later on, and if it doesn't work out the original character will be back. Just look at the Flash, he died for years and the new Flash was doing well, but Barry (the Flash who died) still came back for the great Green Lantern event. Death been overused.

This time, however, Marvel is adamant, noting that once the current story ends in No. 588, the Fantastic Four will cease to exist.
