Editing Fantastic Four (section)

===2000s===
Following the run of Claremont, Lobdell and Larroca, [[Carlos Pacheco]] took over as penciller and co-writer, first with [[Rafael Marín]], then with Marín and [[Jeph Loeb]]. This series began using dual numbering, as if the original ''Fantastic Four'' series had continued unbroken, with issue #42 / #471 (June 2001). At the time, the Marvel Comics series begun in the 1960s, such as ''[[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]]'' and ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', were given such dual numbering on the front cover, with the present-day volume's numbering alongside the numbering from the original series. After issue #70 / #499 (Aug. 2003), the title reverted to its original vol. 1 numbering with issue #500 (Sept. 2003).

[[Karl Kesel]] succeeded Loeb as co-writer with issue #51 / #480 (March 2002), and after a few issues with temporary teams, [[Mark Waid]] took over as writer with #60 / 489 (October 2002) with artist [[Mike Wieringo]] with Marvel releasing a promotional variant edition of their otherwise $2.25 debut issue at the price of nine cents US.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.maelmill-insi.de/UHBMCC/fantfou6.htm#S462|publisher=  The Unofficial Handbook of Marvel Comics Creators|title= ''Fantastic Four'' (III) (1998–2003)}}</ref><ref>{{cite comic| writer= [[Mark Waid|Waid, Mark]]|penciller= [[Mike Wieringo|Wieringo, Mike]]|inker= [[Karl Kesel|Kesel, Karl]]|story= Inside Out|title= Fantastic Four|volume= 3|issue= 60|date= October 2002}}</ref> Pencillers [[Mark Buckingham (comic book artist)|Mark Buckingham]], Casey Jones, and Howard Porter variously contributed through issue #524 (May 2005), with a handful of issues by other teams also during this time. Writer [[J. Michael Straczynski]] and penciller [[Mike McKone]] did issues #527–541 (July 2005 – Nov. 2006), with [[Dwayne McDuffie]] taking over as writer the following issue, and [[Paul Pelletier]] succeeding McKone beginning with #544 (May 2007).

As a result of the events of the "[[Civil War (comics)|Civil War]]" company-crossover storyline, the [[Black Panther (character)|Black Panther]] and [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|Storm]] temporarily replaced Reed and Susan Richards on the team. During that period, the Fantastic Four also appeared in ''Black Panther'',<ref>{{cite book|last = Hudlin|first = Reginald|author-link = Reginald Hudlin|author2=Portela, Francis|title = Black Panther: Four the Hard Way|publisher = Marvel Comics|year = 2007|page = 120|isbn = 978-0785126553}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last = Hudlin|first = Reginald|author2=Portela, Francis|title = Black Panther: Little Green Men |publisher = Marvel Comics|year = 2008|page = 96|isbn = 978-0785126577}}</ref> written by [[Reginald Hudlin]] and pencilled primarily by Francis Portela.
