FF BY JONATHAN HICKMAN TP (2025)

"Before his death, the Human Torch made his wishes known: If anyone were to replace him in the Fantastic Four, it should be his best super-hero buddy, Spider-Man. But even with the addition of Spidey to their ranks, Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Thing are now so much more than four. Welcome to the FF - the Future Foundation! Marvel's First Family has moved beyond the simple pursuits of super heroing into a bold new era of discovery. But to make tomorrow today, they'll need to expand their ranks even beyond Spider-Man and their genius children. What does the future mean when it depends on the likes of the Wizard, the Mad Thinker, A.I.M. and Dr. Doom? Collecting FF #1-5. 136 PGS./Rated T+"

"It's a new era for the FF in every way imaginable! Black Bolt has returned from seeming death; Dr. Doom, the Wizard, the Mad Thinker and Diablo have joined the Future Foundation; and four alternate-reality Reed Richards are scheming to ignite war among the fabled Four Cities. But all that could be moot because the Kree Supreme Intelligence has designs on Earth's destruction - the resolution of a power play 300,000 years in the making. And if all this weren't enough, Attilan, realm of the Inhumans, has appeared above the planet - a harbinger not only of its ruler's return, but also of an epic conflagration with the High Evolutionary! Collecting FF #6-11."

"All hope lies in Doom! In a frantic flight from Annihilus' insectoid forces, Valeria teleported the Future Foundation and the Baxter Building's top three floors to Latveria. Now, the kids have nobody to turn to but Latveria's iron-fisted ruler - Dr. Doom! That Val would have orchestrated everything to happen this way would be unthinkable. Unthinkable, that is, until she starts whispering secrets into the ear of 'Uncle Doom.' Writer Jonathan Hickman continues his unprecedented exploration of Marvel's extended First Family as the FF mixes it up with an evil otherdimensional Reed Richards, a doomsday collective of Mad Celestials, and a very hungry Galactus - all setting up an endgame beyond imagination! Collecting FF #12-16."

"Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman bids farewell to the FF! In a story that kicks off in Spider-Man and the Human Torch's bathroom (?!), the Future Foundation explores the farthest reaches of the Marvel Universe - from Wakanda to the Negative Zone - encountering the Wizard, the Universal Inhumans and the Negative Zone's dark overlord himself, Annihilus, along the way! And in the heartwarming conclusion to Hickman's run, Old Franklin teaches Young Franklin 'How To Be a God!' Collecting FF (2011) #17-23. "
