Flame Off!

Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like The Fantastic Four but get used to it because the famous super hero quad is now down to three after Marvel Comics killed off The Human Torch yesterday. As overweight, basement dwelling fans finished spitting out their Doritos in shock it became clear that the writer responsible for such a ballsy move Jonathan Hickman was sticking to his guns. In an interview he gave with the LA Times he explained that for the last 50 years The Fantastic Four have behaved as a family unit dealing with love, weddings, child rearing etc, so a death in the family would be the next logical step, which he hopes the majority of fans can relate too.
