Ben and Johnny are in Guardians [of the Galaxy], Inhumans and Uncanny Avengers, and there isn't a Fantastic Four title. None of these characters are dead, though. Therefore, the future will inevitably and invariably get to a point where we'll see more of Reed, Sue, Franklin, Val, Dragon Man and the Future Foundation." As for when readers will see the FF return, Brevoort was somewhat cagey. "We will get to that point. I don't know that we'll get to it quickly. Maybe we will. Maybe we won't. Hopefully we'll get to it when you least expect it so their reappearance on the Marvel stage can have some resonance to it.” Read more here - http://www.newsarama.com/27524-brevoort-calls-secret-wars-9-the-last-fantastic-four-story.html "Disliking everything is not the same thing as having an opinion"

That tells me that they believe the original Marvel superhero team cannot hold a book on their own. And I agree. FF has suffered from horrible writing. I can't even remember the last good FF story I read, ... it was probably over 15 years ago. I remember the storylines from the 80s-90s. It was an exciting time. The writers were smart, pushed the team into an almost Star Trek way of saving the world but yet had humor and so many wonderful characters that tied in. I tried to get into the more modern stories but they were too cliche. It's like the writers couldn't figure out where to take the characters next. No development, no growth. So they would resort to the same old catchphrases and the same old conflicts. There was a short run where they brought in Storm and Black Panther to run the team, but it was short lived. How I wish Marvel would bring in a team that actually cared about the characters. Someone who remembers what the book was once like and who would want to make it exciting again. But I've lost all faith in what Marvel is doing with their comic books. At least I have over 400+ back issues to go through and reread. We strike hard and fade away into the night
