Future Foundation announced! It replaces Unstoppable Wasp, is written by Jeremy Whitley, and Julie Power is joining the FF.

Wonderful news to wake up to! New logo FF. And I wonder if the F4 will be targeted in Absolute Carnage because in Spider-Man/Fantastic Four #2 by Christos Gage, the Venom symbiote was briefly worn (unwillingly) by Reed, Sue, Franklin, and Jen Walters.

The Fantastic Four have made their home on Yancy Street, but their arrival doesn’t exactly make their neighbors happy. To make matters worse, when our heroes start to investigate a nasty piece of vandalism, The Thing is forced to relive painful memories of his Yancy Street tormentors…and if that’s not enough, danger lurks in every corner with the arrival of The Terrible Trio!

“Last fall, Greg Smallwood and I got to take a big swing at Dr. Strange in ‘The Best Defense’ and now we're re-teaming to scratch our Fantastic Four itches,” teased Gerry Duggan. “We're exploring some of the ripples created by their move to Yancy Street, and some classic Jack & Stan villains are invited, too. It's an oversized love letter to Marvel's first family, just in time for Marvel's eightieth birthday.”

Neat! Looks like it will cover the more grounded and down-to-earth aspects of living in Yancy Street. I wonder if the Terrible Trio mentioned is the original created by Doom or all new?

Now all we need is a Fantastic Force title!

[Crimz]

It's really great to see the Fantastic Four getting a serious push.

Now we have:

The main Fantastic Four title
Future Foundation
Fantastic Four: Prodigal Sun #1(one-shot)
Fantastic Four: Yancy Street
Invisible Woman mini

I hope they all really well, especially the Invisible Woman and Future Foundation books.

When are these retreads going to be over? So far, we've had FF vs. Cosmic Abstract, FF vs. Doom, and now Thing vs. Hulk. The only original thing is Thing vs. Marriage and that was the best out of them. I feel like I'm reading X-Men with the amount of retreads we're doing.


On the bright side, Sue's solo looks good and Future Foundation seems promising.

Oh, it's far from over, Slott hasn't done "Namor tries to steal Sue from Reed and she can barely resist his charms" yet.

Oh, it's far from over, Slott hasn't done "Namor tries to steal Sue from Reed and she can barely resist his charms" yet.

Is that between the "Franklin gets kidnapped and used for an evil plan" and the "Creature from the Negative Zone" plots?

There's a fine line between retread and consistent characters. Thing vs. Hulk has always been a classic rivalry... and now that Hulk is pretty much embracing his evil monster roots, I'd say it's time for that come back... Sadly Hulk keeps getting upgrades and Thing hasn't so it shouldn't be much of a fight at this point....

But when was the last time they did that? Not just a token punch or two, but a real fight? Spikey Thing vs. Joe Fixit? Something in the 90's? Did they match up during World War Hulk? Considering the way Hulk mowed through the whole universe I'm not surprised I don't remember it...
