I love when Rob covers Hickman, because its also one of my absolute favorite comics aswell. I own the comic when Franklin revives galactus as his herald BECAUSE of Rob. It was an amazing read.
This was one of the first comic book run that got me hooked on marvel comics, when Franklin resurrected Galactus I remember having goosebumps from then on I knew this was for me
You brought Hickman's run on the F4 to my attention years back and I'm so glad you did. It's the best fantastic four story in decades, if not of all time.
Ok, so this is what I need to read from Jonathan Hickman following his run on Fantastic Four: -Fantastic Four: Dark Reign -Fantastic Four Vol 2: Solve Everything -Fantastic Four Vol 3: Prime Elements -Fantastice Four Vol 4: Future Foundation -Fantastic Four Vol 5: The Three -Fantastic Four Vol 6: FF -Fantastic Four Vol 7: War of the four cities -Fantastic Four Vol 8: Forever -Fantastic Four Vol 9: God -Fantastic Four Vol 10: Herald of Franklin
I enjoyed this format of macro reviewing storylines in chronological order. This actually helps with determining what/how we may want to purchase the comics if we don't already have them.
I believe this is the greatest Fantastic Four run ever. A man's love for his family can change reality itself. The speech at 26:21 will always be profound
Doom gets brain damage, Reed has a Council of Reeds which inspired the Council of Ricks, and Franklin making universes like he's in Creative Mode. And that's just the first arc...
this guy above is a known creep in the vtube community! just got exposed on the robs discord... asking vtubers if they are virgins is unaccaptable! im from ironmouses community and its a known thing he is a creep!
@@forgottendreams-t9w That's funny because I don't follow Ironmouse nor have I ever been to one of her streams. So it's weird that I'm being talked about in a community I've never been a part of. Unless of course you just made it all up on the spot and forgot to fact check. Which is even odder, because as you said, I've been "exposed on Rob's Discord" by what seems like 20+ people so far. And yet none of them can keep their facts straight, huh?
@@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache I've seen multiple people agree with the person that calls you out on multiple different posts now. How is it that there are so many people against you if you are innocent of what they say?
@@Gottem777 For "all the people that are against me" i.e. about 4, they haven't been doing a good job of actually citing their sources. It's why I can be so confident: Because I know I'm innocent and they know it, too. They just think if they keep saying the opposite without any evidence, as long as they get the last word in, they've "won".
I just finished it with my brother and it was sooooo good. We were blown away. But I definitely remember getting to the Inhumans section and thinking, Rob was right. Not even Hickman can make them cool lol
Ultimate Fantastic 4 is actually where you should start. The old Ultimate universe not the new one. It comes before all of this and actually explains where a lot of the concepts he pulls comes from. To include the council of reeds, the importance of Nathanial Richards to Reed, Zombie Reed, the Maker, etc
Thanks for doing this , Rob. This makes me want to re-read his run again. I enjoyed parts of it, but I thought that it was too clinical and dry. It definitely had some REALLY good parts to it, but I didn’t get the big deal . Now I want to read it again . Hickman did really unleash Franklin’s true potential, though .
It would be so interesting to see a story about valaria surpassing reed as the most intelligent and seeing how he deals with it (in character he probably won’t care and would work with her to achieve even more but could be an interesting story)
Hickman's characterization of Reed is exactly why I think Glenn Howerton from IASIP would've been a perfect Reed and a better choice than either Krasinski or Pascal. Because I think he could play that detached ego that the smartest man in the universe would have while also caring about his family more than Pascal, who has become somewhat typecast in family man roles (outside that movie he did with Nic Cage)
One day I expect Marvel will reboot everything into the next Universe, with Franklin/Galactus and everything. Although I expect that won't be for a long time, it's gonna be pretty dope.
Rob, do you only get your comics in a digital format or do you go the old school route and keep a physical collection? I know a collection for you would have to be massive but it would be AMAZING to see!
Always found it an interesting read hing Franklin is destined to become one with Galactus and to survive to the next cosmos and in Earth X Franklin is Galactus. While it is an alternate future to the main timeline cause Reed knows it’s him and his son not a strange primordial being it’s pretty obvious it’s not the 9th cosmos. However it makes me wonder how there early merger came to be
And I say this as someone who has been a major F4 fan since I was a little kid - Marvel and Disney are wasting so many good arcs by not using Hickman's run from F4/FF through time runs out into secret wars for their roadmap once they got the rights back from Fox. It would've been so much more cohesive to base phase 5&6 around that. Phase 4 introduced the multiverse and it's concepts so😊 from there go into Hickman's run. At the same time, now that they've all been introduced: move secret wars to the end of phase 6 and introduce Doom at the end of phase 5 in an adaptation of The Children's Crusade to tie up the rest of the Wanda and YA threads. That way you have Doom as an overarching presence throughout phase 6. They could've even worked the F4 by starting then out lost in time and have them start out up against Rama Tut right off the bat. After they beat him, they try to return home, but something disrupts the time machine and throws them forward into the present day 616 universe. And I definitely wouldn't blow my load with Galactus in the F4's first appearance. Introducing the molecule man as the first antagonist would've been a better set up for secret wars down the line. But that's just me
Now Rob, you know the people are going to ask for Jonathan Hickman reading order for Avengers/New Avengers and Xmen. I for one have looked for them and all the reading orders leave out alot of tie in books.
I planned on getting all 6 hardcover volumes of the series since I’m close to getting all of them I got all 12 volumes of ultimate Spider-Man and just need one more volume of ultimate X-men
Okay seriously. Being the title indicating a Read Order Presentation, i would'nt ordinarily have prioritized it as a Watch. Being a Rob Coverage, naturally, upon the Notification dinging my dong... I were inclined to head into it, yet though primarily catering my Watch List on a Priority Basis of Personal Investments with Timeous Implications of significance. Guys... First off: Rob clearly does Justice to the Titled Imperative, such as he clearly fulfills...but moreover, His particular Brand of Works... You'll gonna love it. Gonna need to watch it, and truly Peepz... Just Watch it. Nice 1 Rob. As always...yeesh, it's like stating it is redundant when the Man Cooks till Boil, Hit after Hit after Hit.😊
@Comics Explained You better redo this video because it is the Mark Millar run that does this & not Mark Waid where you show images of Bryan Hitch artwork from the Mark Millar run.
Yo. Idk how this gonna sound lol, but HI ROB! Lol. I have been watching your videos for YEARS at this point, like since you started lol. And I LOVE your videos I binge them every time they are out, and I was just wondering.. if it isn't too much trouble would you give me a shout out for my birthday? I turned 25 today..lol and I feel like today ain't going so great so If it isn't too much trouble and you have another video to upload, is that at all kosher/possible? Thanks for all the years of amazing comics knowledge I have gleaned from your videos sir🙂, it's a shame that some of the coolest stories these characters have had might never see a film/tv release, like I think Hickman's Avengers would break the internet if it was adapted lol. Or hell, Venom War is INCREDIBLE so far!
as someone whos new to comics in general i wanted to ask the person reading this comment - Is there a general consensus that DC is better at this moment than marvel? and that will we ever get a hard marvel reboot?
Man I can't say ones better than the other. They're both pretty weak imo right now. And idk if we'll ever get a marvel hard reboot, just isn't their thing
it's amazing how marvel can't even tell you what order to read their fucking comics it's literally a case of "well... i guess you're gonna have TO BUY ALL OF THEMMMMMM"
They just need to make a movie version of Hickman's stories. If that's not how they do the fantastic 4, it's going to suck. They are already introduce too many many characters in 1 movie
Rob said "inhumans" without going off on a tangent. I'm so proud.
LMFAO!!!!!! Boy he really does have something against the inhumans doesn't he
When he didn’t cook Blackbolt I was legit surprised
Making progress. Inhumans, eternals should just be a subgroup of Krakoa. They're basically krakoa. Use them sparingly.
@@michaelknight1563- No way. BlackBolt is his FAVORITE character!
I don’t believe this.
That moment with Thing, Hulk, and Thor is one of the best moments in comics.
Crazy how Hickman worked on this, his Avengers runs and used all of them as buildup for his Secret Wars.
0:25
Just call it what it is. Episode 1 of a new series: "Comics Abridged"
By the way, more of this!
They need to fire all the other writers and just keep Hickman, that way we have cohesion across marvel.
There are some writers did do pretty good tbh
But Hickman is like comic book Nolan 😂 you're gonna be taken for a ride
Hickman turned My childhood fascination with super hero’s into a comic book obsession
Hickman is the Muhammad Ali of writer's, but there are still other amazing champions as well.
@@jimmywinfield HE IS THE GREATEST!!!!
Can't. They gave him the keys to Cosmic Marvel and it didn't sell.
I love when Rob covers Hickman, because its also one of my absolute favorite comics aswell. I own the comic when Franklin revives galactus as his herald BECAUSE of Rob. It was an amazing read.
I was waiting for Rob to say “because blackbolt sucks!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Throughout all of space and time... the Devourer Of Worlds has had many Heralds... but Franklin, Franklin has had only one."
“TO ME MY GALACTUS”‼️‼️‼️
Franklin making galactus hold his pockets
Hearing Rob talk about the Inhuman's and NOT once utter "the Inhuman's suck' is really catching me off guard lol
Just got done reading this fantastic story a couple of months ago. Absolutely loved it from beginning to end!
You’ve mastered how to keep it fresh!
This was one of the first comic book run that got me hooked on marvel comics, when Franklin resurrected Galactus I remember having goosebumps from then on I knew this was for me
Hell yes! More vids like this for iconic or popular comic book runs!
You brought Hickman's run on the F4 to my attention years back and I'm so glad you did. It's the best fantastic four story in decades, if not of all time.
Ok, so this is what I need to read from Jonathan Hickman following his run on Fantastic Four:
-Fantastic Four: Dark Reign
-Fantastic Four Vol 2: Solve Everything
-Fantastic Four Vol 3: Prime Elements
-Fantastice Four Vol 4: Future Foundation
-Fantastic Four Vol 5: The Three
-Fantastic Four Vol 6: FF
-Fantastic Four Vol 7: War of the four cities
-Fantastic Four Vol 8: Forever
-Fantastic Four Vol 9: God
-Fantastic Four Vol 10: Herald of Franklin
You just get how to make good content!

Rob, you never need an excuse to retell this story. This is one of the greatest stories ever told.
I love it when Rob re-visit Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic Four.
The Dark Reign is the House/Power X for FF fans. Transformative writing and creativity.
So Reed Richards is basically marvels' Rick Sanchez? 🤔
yup. just less unhinged
Rick Sanchez is Adult Swim's Reed Richards lol
I just finished it with my brother and it was sooooo good. We were blown away. But I definitely remember getting to the Inhumans section and thinking, Rob was right. Not even Hickman can make them cool lol

I loved Mark Waid’s run so much. It might be my favorite
Hell yes. Thank you for this. Keep em coming brother
Thank you Rob.
I'd absolutely like more videos like this, thank you🙏
Please Rob more videos like this one! This was awesome! FF and the Xmen will forever be my favorite super hero teams.
It would be so interesting to see a story about valaria surpassing reed as the most intelligent and seeing how he deals with it (in character he probably won’t care and would work with her to achieve even more but could be an interesting story)
7:16 Avatar the last airbender easter egg
Lol. Ok, I thought that looked familiar ❤❤❤
Jonathan Hickman fantastic four to secret wars whole run has gotta be the greatest run on any comics of all time
Abnett and Lannings run on Marvel's Cosmos is my favorite stretch or comics ever.
There are so many moments I just wanna see on the big screen.
Thank you, Rob!
I love that this reading order video is Rob's excuse to cover one of his favorite stories again, lol
Sooo late,needed this months ago
Hickman's characterization of Reed is exactly why I think Glenn Howerton from IASIP would've been a perfect Reed and a better choice than either Krasinski or Pascal. Because I think he could play that detached ego that the smartest man in the universe would have while also caring about his family more than Pascal, who has become somewhat typecast in family man roles (outside that movie he did with Nic Cage)
What a coincidence I’ve started reading this run a couple of days ago
Thanks Rob❤
I love Hickman fantastic four it’s really awesome and badass and such amazing run in my opinion.
Man I would love more reading order videos because I be lost sometimes man
Did Franklin change the title and thumbnail
😂😂😂
One day I expect Marvel will reboot everything into the next Universe, with Franklin/Galactus and everything. Although I expect that won't be for a long time, it's gonna be pretty dope.
I've not heard Inhumans suck yet, rob kept it in check for 1 video👀
Now we need a reading order for Johnathan Hickman's Avengers run
I heard you holding back when you mentioned Black Bolt and the Inhumans 😂😂😂
Could you maybe do the top 10 stories you like the most video?
This one is really good too!
Rob, do you only get your comics in a digital format or do you go the old school route and keep a physical collection? I know a collection for you would have to be massive but it would be AMAZING to see!

Do a video on the Ultimates
'TO ME MY GALACTUS' - FRANKLIN RICHARDS
Now Rob, you know the people are going to ask for Jonathan Hickman reading order for Avengers/New Avengers and Xmen. I for one have looked for them and all the reading orders leave out alot of tie in books.
HEY ROB, do you think we will ever get a Maker in the MCU? 🤔
i wish there was a comic which had green goblin vs doctor doom. now that would be a something to see
Super Cool Rob 😎 👍
Do it for Jhony man 👨
Brooo please do this for all your vids or put in the description🙏😭
I planned on getting all 6 hardcover volumes of the series since I’m close to getting all of them I got all 12 volumes of ultimate Spider-Man and just need one more volume of ultimate X-men
I do believe this is what the MCU is turning into
23:03 so he basically accidently used it sort of at the right time even if a minute or so too early

Rob has been replaced by a SKRULL!!! He didn't bash the Inhumans! That not Rob!!!
Hickmans run of Avangers and the FF leading into SecretWars is maybe the best written story of all time.
In my humble opinion, Marvellous!
Can we please get....
Grim Reaper(Eric Williams) explained video please 🙏🏾(not giving up)
.....Rob Corps I need your help like Lord Schnitzel
Reed using abandoned planets to farm food to starving nations is a great idea.

Why is there no Incredibly Fantastic Four?
The BEST Fantastic Four runs are the Jack Kirby Stan Lee....John Byrne..& Jonathan Hickman.. not necessarily in that order..
Do the what if then make a parity of it in ff part 3 when franklin old and valriea is teenager😢
Bruh
