Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 This is awesome...I have a reason to read F4 again... here's the Newsarama article with Mike's weblog... AID & WIERINGO BACK ON FF - INDEFINITELY One of the biggest creative changes in recent memories has just apparently had a turnaround. Posting on his weblog, former Fantastic Four penciller Mike Wieringo has announced that he and Mark Waid are back on the series. Wieringo’s blog entry reads: And they say you can't go home again. Well, I'm VERY happy to be able to announce that I'm going to be BACK as the regular penciler on FANTASTIC FOUR as of issue #509-- working with my buddy Mark Waid. That's right, we're back as the creative team of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine. Well, Mark will have never really have left in the first place, but you get my drift. I'm not going to speculate on the reasons why things have turned out the way they have. It's been a very strange (almost) four months since the whole "Mark Waid firing" incident-- but all I CAN say is that I'm very glad that things have turned out the way they have. I'm back working on one of the greatest books I've every worked on, with one of the greatest writers in comics. And working for Tom Brevoort-- one of the finest, best editors in this business. So, at the end of the day, things are back to being the way they were-- only better. And that's just fine with me. I'm ready to get back to work! Mike The revelation by the artist apparently means that, despite assertions by DC’s Dan Didio that Waid and ‘Ringo would be working on a DC project together, plans with Marvel’s rival have fallen through. It is also unclear what this means for the formerly announced new Fantastic Four creative team of Roberto Francisco Aguirre-Sacasa and Steve McNiven. Marvel was not immediately available for comment . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 I've always loved the F4 characters, but I hated the series due to poor writing/art through the 90s. However, the Waid run was great and I'm glad that it's back and in effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
