Waid & Weiringo Return to FF
Posted: Thursday, September 25 By: Markisan Naso In a startling turn of events, fan-favorite penciller Mike Wieringo has announced that he will return to The Fantastic Four along with writer Mark Waid.
In his weblog he writes:And they say you can't go home again.
Well, I'm VERY happy to be able to announce that I'm going to be BACK as the regular penciler on FANTASTIC FOUR as of issue #509 -- working with my buddy Mark Waid. That's right, we're back as the creative team of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine. Well, Mark will have never really have left in the first place, but you get my drift.
I'm not going to speculate on the reasons why things have turned out the way they have. It's been a very strange (almost) four months since the whole "Mark Waid firing" incident -- but all I CAN say is that I'm very glad that things have turned out the way they have. I'm back working on one of the greatest books I've every worked on, with one of the greatest writers in comics. And working for Tom Brevoort -- one of the finest, best editors in this business. So, at the end of the day, things are back to being the way they were -- only better. And that's just fine with me.
I'm ready to get back to work!
Mike Waid was fired from the book a few months ago when Marvel decided to change the direction of the series. Weiringo decided to leave the book after Waid was let go. What this means for the previously announced new FF team of writer Roberto Francisco Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Steve McNiven is unknown.
