Sweet. Allred is one of the greats.

Gorgeous!

Though ... what's on Scott Lang's head?

**jsg2295** · 10-31-2012, 10:59 AM

I will pick this up only out of respect for what Hickman did

**KurtW95** · 10-31-2012, 11:00 AM

What are those streamer things that Scott and Reed are playing with?

Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to this more than the main Fantastic Four?

Honestly, this book looks like the place where Fraction will take off the shackles and go crazy.

Stunning art from Allreds. This is a must read (and look at with glee)

**punisher97** · 10-31-2012, 11:40 AM

The art is amazing. I bet the writing will be good as well.

As usual, Allred's work is outstanding. I have a feeling that he and Fraction are going to really complement each other stylistically. They both have this madcap pop sensibility. I feel like Fraction has only worked with a small handful of artists that were on the same page as him creatively, and Allred was on that page before Fraction was even in the industry. I'm looking forward to this more than any other Marvel Now! relaunch.

Having read iZombie, I look forward to seeing more Mike Allerd's work. It looks interesting here, but I'm going to hold complete judgement once I see it in action when I get the full issue. However, the small shot of Ant Man holding the girl and crying out loud looks rather bad. That darn mouth.

Happily, I haven't read any of Hickman's previous work on this series, so no bias for me at all! The perfect way to jump into it! But darn it, why does it have to come at the very end of the month?

If he gets the same free rein he did with Defenders, you're in for a great ride.

This creative team is great and like others have said, I think the two will play off each other well. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I have no interest in Fantastic Four, but this looks quite enticing. I hope it's a fun book.
