"The details of Jonathan Hickman&amp;#039;s departure from Fantastic Four have been released by Marvel Comics. The writer will conclude his run on the franchise in October with Fantastic Four #611 and FF #23. Hickman revealed at Image Expo that he would be concluding his work on the two concurrent series, as well as on Ultimate Comics: Ultimates and S.H.I.E.L.D. &amp;quot;I always had an end point in mind, but along the way I really fell in love with writing Marvel&amp;#039;s First Family and I also had all these dangling bits to clean up, so I agreed - [and] wanted - to stay on,&amp;quot; Hickman told Marvel.com. &amp;quot;Then all the gears started turning on all the [Avengers vs. X-Men] stuff and what comes after and it just became obvious that October would be a good time to hop off.&amp;quot; Hickman has been working on Fantastic Four since 2009, launching FF during the original title&amp;#039;s hiatus, which now runs alongside the core book. He is also working on creator-owned Image Comics titles Manhattan Projects and Secret, and is co-writer on Marvel&amp;#039;s upcoming Avengers vs. X-Men event miniseries.
