Coming in November: 4

Marvel released this teaser image of the famous Fantastic Four logo and the date November 2011. Fantastic Four #1 came out 50 years ago with a cover date of...November. Issues # 10 and 11 will come out in October. So #12 will come out in November, right? Well, remember what I've been saying on the broadcasts, the last issue of the previous series was #588. 588 plus 12 equals...600. I KNEW IT! Marvel is up to their old tricks again! They will go back to the original numbering starting with #600! This makes me sick.

Now, does Johnny come back? Writer Jonathan Hickman says he's dead, but I don't believe it. This was the company that killed Bucky...twice! And how many times for Jean Grey/Marvel Girl/Phoenix?  Cancelling books for new #1s only to go back (mainly when #600 comes around) is their S.O.P. They are cancelling Uncanny X-Men at #544 in October with a new #1 in November? Somehow they will squeeze out 56 books in the next year or two so they can quickly get back to the original numbering and that "hard earned" #600. Not cynical, am I?
