Going to eventually cover every issue ever made (or at least try to).

I've already been through issues 1-100 of volume 1, and the first 7/8 annuals:

That's fantastic.


Great work man, FF has always been one of my favorite comics.

Really? I thought Superman was your favorite comic...

One of my favorites, duh. Great work all around man, keep it up.

Looks great and I'm not even a FF fan.

I've gotten past issue #150

Damn! So you are going to read all the way to 500?

Sometimes I need a break from certain tittles like if I read Batman then I take a break and I read Spiderman.

But that is a lot of work AND ON TOP OF THAT You are collecting the info.

I take my hat off.

Yeah, I'm planning to do the Avengers next

Reached issue #200

Always wondered how one would go about doing a team based respect thread. Great job.

F4's consistently been one of the best team books of all time.

I've gotten past issue #250

I got to issue #300.

Good job.

Bump. Was away for a while, but resumed and am now past issue #350.

Got to issue #400.

Damn, just damn. Great effort man.

I have officially covered all of volume 1 (416 issues). Will be doing Volume 2 (Heroes Reborn) and then onto Volume 3, then the renumbered volume 1 issues from 500 onwards, then spinoffs.

I covered all of volume 2 and Heroes Return to finish the Heroes Reborn arc. Next up is Volume 3.

Awesome job, I'm surprised you have attitude to do all of that.

Though I prefer good, old Spidey's over FF.

I might get to him eventually... although he does guest star in a lot of the comics I covered.

I've gotten past the Abraxas saga, I figure that's a notable enough milestone to mention here

Any chance of doing a respect thread with the best feats of then after you finish all ?

All of the interesting or notable feats I've seen are in the thread...

Any idea when you'll be getting to Hickman's run?

Well it starts at 570, I'm at #50 of volume 3 (which changes to #500 when it gets to #70), so it will be a while.

I finished volume 3 and got to issue #500.

Respect for such effort

Thanks

I've read "Unthinkable" not long ago, I see you updated the thread with feats from that story arc.

32 pages. I am impressed - great job.

Nice work. That's some dedication right there.

Thanks, I'm not done yet though.

Got past issue #550

I finished Mark Millar's run and started Jonathan Hickman's run, since Epicurus was asking about that earlier.

I reached issue #600

Incredible job Mike

I've completed Hickman's run and the entire first volume. I'll now be focusing on spin-off titles and guest appearances in other books for a while.

So you are avoiding AvX. Aren't you gonna post the others?

Reed and a being known only as the 'Alien Entity' did indeed recreate the universe in that issue: http://www.narutoforums.com/showpost.php?p=51268644&postcount=649

Thread is looking great, EM!

Thanks. Although I haven't been able to keep up the same pace lately that I used to, I'll still try.

Started the Marvel Knights 4 series. It's 30 issues, so it will be a rather long one.

I finished the Marvel Knights series and started the World's Greatest Comics Magazine series.

I finished World's Greatest Comics Magazine and started on the Fantastic Four: Foes miniseries

Excellent stuff.

How far do you plan on taking this, Mike? Up to Secret Wars, or beyond even that?

After I finish the spinoffs, I'll continue the main series where I left off, until I get to whatever is current at the time.

Just finished Fantastic Four: True Story

Finished volume 2 of Fantastic Force

Covered the Spider-Man/Fantastic Four miniseries from 2010

Finished Fantastic Four and Iron Man: Big in Japan. That's the last spinoff miniseries I have scheduled, now I just have a few one-shots before I resume the main titles and cover the latest 2-3 years of material.

Covered some one-shots and specials, now I just have one more one-shot (if I can get a copy of it) and the 2013 and on stuff to do.

Finished all of the 616-relevant spinoffs, and started on the Marvel Now stuff. Reaching the home stretch.

I completed volume 4 and FF volume 2 and started volume 5.

Nice. You've just about caught up to current.

Yep. Just don't ask me to cover every other book the FF have ever appeared or guest starred in.

And I'm finally done!

A truly herculean effort, Mike.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, and great f*cking work.

Amazing work Mike

I would have broken long ago, truly a enormous effort of will on your part

Grats on getting free time
