damn it. i had a feeling that thing would of been obvious because he's kind of a tragic figure and that human torch would be more shocking. and i was right. even though i went with thing.

oh well.

does the fantastic 4 still sell well? its really a contained comic. doesn't seem to effect anything in marvel. but thats just me.

It's been pointed out that all the other three have already gone through comic book death. Not to mention Thing is still shown in New Avengers. Plus, Amazing Spider-Man #657 is a follow-up to the story, and just based on the cover...
