Avengers 3 used the same paper as FF 6.

Really??? Isn't that the last MMW softcover to be out? That's scary, I had so much hope on the MMW TPBs...

No. Avengers volume 3 came out before FF vol.6. Then after FF 6, if the promos on the inside back covers are to be believed, came Daredevil vol 2, followed by Thor vol. 3, then X-Men vol. 3.

Have there been complaints about those later volumes?
... I didn't seem to get the bad copy of FF 6 (Vol 28) like others did, all later TPBs since then have been good

Stan Lee, 1968:

" ... And we talk it out. Lately, I've had Roy Thomas come in, and he sits and makes notes while we discuss it. Then he types them up which gives us a written synopsis. Originally-I have a little tape recorder-I had tried taping it, but then I found no one on staff has time to listen to the tape again later. But this way he makes notes, types it quickly, I get a carbon, the artist gets a carbon...so we don't have to worry that we'll forget what we've said. Then the artist goes home...or wherever he goes...and he draws the thing out, brings it back, and I put the copy in after he's drawn the story based on the plot I've given him. Now this varies with the different artists. Some artists, of course, need a more detailed plot than others. Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, 'Let's make the next villain be Dr. Doom'... or I may not even say that. He may tell me. And then he goes home and does it. He's good at plots. I'm sure he's a thousand times better than I. He just about makes up the plots for these stories. All I do is a little editing... I may tell him he's gone too far in one direction or another. Of course, occasionally I'll give him a plot, but we're practically both the writers on the things. "
