Looks like Waid and Wieringo cofirmed to come back! This is from Mike Wieringo's blog today:\

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

WOW!!! Weird!!! But I notice this hasn't hit the mainstream comic news yet - great find, though, eric! Very bizarre how this all worked out. What happens to the other writer they hired, then, the indie playwright dude?

OK, this has now been carried in the mass comics media (newsarama). Although no announcement from Marvel yet - it looks like a definite 'go', though, although some are concerned that because Marvel hasn't confirmed it could still fall through.
