With the death of Johnny Storm a few weeks ago, and Fantastic Four set to end with the next issue, and be replaced with FF #1, with not much known about it….until now.
Written by Jonathan Hickman, FF is going to stand for Future Foundation, the group of super minds assembled by Reed earlier in Hickman’s Fantastic Four run, and will star The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, and the Amazing Spider-Man, as well as some “top secret team members” to save the Marvel Universe from some if its biggest threats!
A new title also brings new uniforms, featuring a very different color scheme for the traditionally blue Fantastic Four, going with a white and black look with the Future Foundation logo instead of the traditional “4”.
