[LordDoom]

Can somebody fill me in on the reading order for all of the Hickman Fantastic Four/FF Trades?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean? All the Hickman FF should have vol1 2 etc. But if you mean where it fits between other stories, in continuity, your guess is as good as mine, because FF doesn't get mentioned in reference to all that.

But the Hickman stuff starts in the Dark Reign, goes into the Heroic Age, and ends up in the Shattered Hero era after Fear Itself.

I recall the Nomadic Writer had a good run down in this post then you can pick up on the ones released after this.

It's kind of awkward to read in trades because there were large chunks that were intended to be read issue-by-issue, switching off between Fantastic Four and FF.

Basically, start with "Dark Reign: Fantastic Four." Then read the first four volumes of "Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman." Then read the first two volumes of "FF." After that, it gets tricky. "FF" volumes three and four and "Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman" volumes five and six occur roughly in parallel.

The best way to read that last segment in trade is probably alternating between the two. Fantastic v5, FF v3, Fantastic v6, FF v4. That said, it's still going to be a little disjointed.

Yeah, it probably would be after they both start coming out simultaneously. I hope Marvel comes out with an omnibus at some point.

But I am old enough to remember the captions days where the editor would say "as shown in Captain America #123---On sale Now!"
