But bully for you, maybe you'll enjoy Spymaster! lol

My dad was a huge FF fan. Personally, I found them boring. As plot devices they are ok (Spidey recruiting Torch for subduing Venom or Reed creating a device for teleporting heroes to Destination X to fight whatever crossover threat of the month is terrorizing the multiverse), but I tried to read their book in the 80's and 90's and couldn't. Too soap opera-ish for me (which crept into all the other Marvel books in the 90's and killed my enjoyment of the books). The movie was the first time I actually like them. Sadly, Doom was a joke and the 2nd & reboot movie were worse.

I haven't read a comic book since 2001, so I'm done with that chapter of my life. Not a brag or anything, I just tried to read a comic book one day in 2001 and couldn't make it through. Now, I see graphic novel collections at stores, I'll flip through them for a glimpse of the art, or read IGN reviews, but otherwise I've been out of the loop other than the various comic book films. I'll give FF another try when they show up in the MCU.
