I would assuredly rather read something similar to the cover than anything Millar tossed out! Well, wait, no date on the cover, was that pre or post Morrison Millar?
It was right before Hickman's run, actually. Sales of FF weren't doing so hot, and the book was in a downturn after the great Waid/Wieringo run(although I liked McDuffie's run, mostly). So Marvel just threw Millar/Hitch on the book, hoping their success from the Ultimates would work their magic on the series.
Well it didn't! Hitch's artwork looks pretty damn rough after the first story arc, lots of bad characterization and stupid plot directions abound, wasn't very pretty. It just felt like Millar didn't have the strongest grasp on what makes these characters great, and the cover is a pretty clear indication of that. "Fantastic Four as a family? lol how laaaaame"
