Marvel Comics: Spider-Man Joins the Fantatic Four in FF Issue #1
There is no more Fantastic Four, so just what is the FF? This March, the superstar creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting present the over-sized FF #1, introducing the biggest new super hero team of the century!
After the death of the Human Torch, the surviving members of the Fantastic Four—Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman & Thing—join with Spider-Man and some top secret members to form an unstoppable force: The Future Foundation. Their mission is simple: save the Marvel Universe from its greatest threats and prevent future dangers from arising. But even with knowledge of what’s to come and one of the most powerful teams ever assembled, just what villainous force could stand in their way?
“FF will alter the very fabric of the Marvel Universe,” explained Tom Brevoort, Senior Vice President of Publishing. “Jonathan and Steve have crafted a unique, powerful new series that’s going to surprise a lot of fans with its combination of mind-blowing ideas and visuals.”
The perfect jumping on point for new readers, FF #1 begins a battle for the future of the Marvel Universe unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and no fan can afford to miss it!

Countdown until the Human Torch is revived by the sun starts now...

Not digging the name or the costumes... but that's okay... I never liked the Fantastic Four. In fact, I think that the Human Torch was the only one I did like.
Future Foundation? WTF is that? It sounds like a Christian outreach program. Why not just go with "Fantastic Family" or "Funtime Friends?"
I do like the idea... just not feeling the vibes here. How can you turn Spidey white?
Seriously though, it's a really cool concept. Richards' brain acting as coordinator and weapons designer for a group of heroes. What's not to like? It's a better idea than the old FF. They just need to outsource their costume designs to someone else. Tony Stark..? lol

I like the angle Hickman is going on with this - Spidey is the only logical choice to add being that he has a bond with Franklin, and I think this is just round one of the covers....have faith in Epting, people, the man is one hell of an artist. By the end of the issue you won't even remember that the costumes are different.....
Based on the work Hickman has done with his FF run so far I can't help but be excited for this....
