Marvel rumored to pull Fantastic Four comics in order to stick it to FOX movie.

Rumors that Marvel will put Fantastic Four comic on hiatus in order to prevent promotion of FOX movie.
If this comes to pass, I'm writing it off as another stunt from Marvel. At this point you have 35,000 people buying the Fantastic Four comic vs the millions that will see even a shitty FF movie. It's the tail trying to wag the dog.
Marvel will pepper their other comics with FF characters in the hopes that it will increase the sales of those titles then, after the movie leaves, they'll have a big Fantastic Four #1 launch and hope that this new title isn't as low a selling title as the current FF.

Bleeding Cool reports that Marvel Comics is going to put their Fantastic Four titles 'on hiatus' although the characters will continue to exist in the Marvel Comics universe. According to Bleeding Cool's sources this is happening because Marvel wants to stick it to Fox, who is in production on a Fantastic Four movie coming out next year. The hiatus has been confirmed by the website Comic Book Resources.

Will probably backfire and give more publicity to the movie than if the operated as usual.

Bitch move by Marvel

Sales of the comic have been low for a long time now. They've tried rebranding it, putting spiderman on the team, etc etc to no real effect.
I'm not sure how much this will affect anything.

Doesn't seem necessary considering how crappy this movie is shaping up to be.

It's really a shame that we can't get a good FF movie. The second one was ok but there's no reason it couldn't have been better

There's no need to do this Marvel...the movie's cast alone will kill it.

Olaf from Frozen as Thing? (I have 5yo and 15yo nieces)
Yep, this has dumpster fire written all over it.

this article is stupid.
this isn't about "sticking it to Fox."
this is about Marvel wanting the FF movie rights back.

Don't give two craps about FF. But it's a damn shame Spidey and anyone from X-Men will never be in the same movie as the Avengers.
Oh well, at least we have Hawkeye.
Jesus Christ...

JUST GIVE ALL THE GODDAMN SUPER HEROS BACK TO MARVEL
I hate Fox's shitass fantastic 4 movies and i hate that studios cant make movies correctly because they dont own certain characters.
Any single studio should not be allowed to have exclusive character rights. It stupid annoying bullshite.
