<blockquote>Three words ... it only takes three words to send chills through the hearts of the Fantastic Four and send a buzz through comics' fandom ... Those three words are "DOCTOR DOOM's BACK!"

Anticipation is high over "UNTHINKABLE", the upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR story arc that begins in March's FANTASTIC FOUR #67, concludes in July's extra-sized FANTASTIC FOUR #71 (the 500th issue of series), and promises to leave Reed Richards a changed man, and DOOM - the FF's greatest adversary - completely redefined for the 21st century!

"To my surprise, the buzz and anticipation around 'Unthinkable' has been stronger than we'd ever imagined it would be - and that's great, because I guarantee you that I carry that energy and excitement into the finished scripts," says series writer Mark Waid. "Expectations are high, but we're committed to delivering a landmark FF story - and the whole creative team is pulling out all the stops to make it unforgettable."

Readers and retailers can preview that storyline right now at Marvel.com with a special 10-page dotComic preview of the FF #67, available right now at <a href="http://dotcomics.marvel.com/lib/launchissue.php?issue=150&wsid>=" target="_blank">http://dotcomics.marvel.com/lib/launchissue.php?issue=150&wsid>=</a>

FANTASTIC FOUR #67, the first chapter in the "UNTHINKABLE" story arc, goes on sale March 26th, and retailers are reminded the Order Cut-off date is March 6th. Readers, ask your local retailer to reserve a copy!</blockquote>

Wow... it's pretty solid stuff! I'm now curious AND impressed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Looks like it could be a matter of child-warfare after all...

For the kids,

Did this slip to the bottom of the Press Release pile? The dot-comic has only been up for a week or so.

That said, I'll have to check out #67 (tho' Doom's portrayal seems a bit off... both as pencilled and as written).

Thanks,

I am enjoying Mark Waid's work on this book.

Although I like Ringo's work a lot in general I am still uncertain if I like him on this book in particular.

Oh the inking and the colors look good. :)

[Taylor Porter]

I knew it was there about a week ago, but I only got it to work today.

It looks pretty good.

This is the classiest I've seen Doom treated in too long. Favourite panel: the silent one with the outside of Doom's hotel room, where he has dumped the TV and lamps. Pretty neat.

I like the idea of dotcomics. I like that i can read crossgen in the quiet of my home, with out being looked down upon by the fanboys in the shop when i buy MERIDIAN. I have used the MARVEL.DOTCOMICS to sample Elektra and not buy it, or BANNER and buy it.

But why should i spend all my 56k modem time downloading adds. A 14-page preview with 4 adds. These were easy to get past, but sometimes the add takes over the viewer and forces me stop reading. And 4 adds in the 16 page AVENGERS preview.

I like adds in comics. I really like how ABC comics put all the adds at the end of the book. I still look through them. But i do not want adds in promotion comics online. Popups are bad enough.

SMASH DOTCOMIC ADDS!!!!!

[DrDoom]

nice ...nice casual doctor a rarity at least :)
tsk tsk tsk

I have rather to add something:

-remark the confrontation with the old lady: he talks about changing the past
-remark how he throws out the computer and uses the cards: back to the roots
do we will meet Doctor Doom, Sorcerer Supreme?
(as depicted in a what if story)
-remark: he talks about the fantastic four but doesn't want to make a revenge on them ???
or is this just a minder twist in the story? change history ...destroy the FF ...

You're reading comics for free, you gotta expect advertisements. If they're that bothersome to you, don't read 'em.

Oh definitely, I know I'm looking forward to this story-arc. I've been speculating about it for the past couple weeks. I Know Waid is going to keep us on the edge of our seats!

I also like the ABC approach.

On marvel website is a line that says what Doom is planning: he is going really dirty...
