Matt Fraction leaving Fantastic Four/FF in September

Matt Fraction is set to leave both Fantastic Four and FF in September.

He’s also planning to take October off from Hawkguy due to his extremely heavy workload (though thankfully he’ll be back afterwards!)

He’ll be replaced on Fantastic Four by Karl Kesel from issue #13, and on FF by Lee Allred from issue #12.

Obviously this is disappointing, given how great both titles have been to this point, but I can kinda see the guy’s point. He has a huge amount on his plate, and there’s no point sticking with a title if your heart isn’t in it.

So what do you think? And to any FF/Fantastic Four readers, is this change going to affect you picking up the title any more?
