Spider-Man Joins the FF

[ckal]

Marvel has released some major news regarding the future of the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man is going to be joining the team! Here is what Marvel has to say about the team, who will be getting a make over as well as from this point on being known as "The Future Foundation."

There is no more Fantastic Four, so just what is the FF? This March, the 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 and The 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!

I really really hate those stupid white costumes.

[ckal]

They are going to get dirty and stain so easily. Tsk tsk.

Spider-Man looks sick, though.

[Power NeXus]

He looks like Anti-Venom.

[ckal]

They should stick with blue. And Ben should go shirtless.

[Erik-El]

In the last picture, Spider-Man looks like he is a midget with how they did the foreshortening. Also, flying head? Would that be the head of the skrull that was dissected in Secret Invasion?

[spidey_17]

I actually love these costumes. And spider-man reminds me a black and white version of what if spider-man's suit, which i really like.

[Crom-Cruach]

So another typical over-hyped arc that will lead to nothing. Great...

[Erik-El]

It will establish the Future Foundation, which is the team's new name.

... until they go back to being the Fantastic Four, as if nothing happened and the status quo is restablished

[Erik-El]

Lol.

[Crom-Cruach]

that's what's going to happen, fans refuse to believe or not. The human torch will be resurrected in 1 year tops.

[Erik-El]

Well that is very likely. I just assume that no one in the Marvel or DC comic universes is even capable of deaths anymore (ultimate universe aside).

Yeah. Marvel has a bad habit of making potentially earth-shattering stories, but then refusing to let them change the status quo for longer than a year max.

[Crom-Cruach]

Except Bruce Wayne's parent's... so far.

I seriously think that the only reason they have not done that is because fans would riot in the streets over it.

[ckal]

Marvel seems to be much more serious (as in permanent, at least for a long time) about the Human Torch's death than others. That being said, who knows.

[Crom-Cruach]

If they did resurrect them it would likely bring about worse reaction then OMD.

That's why top cow rocks, characters stay dead, unless it is specifically shown that death doesn't stop them.

Mcarthy died years ago and he's still dead. So is Kenneth Irons...

I thought Steve Roger's death was permanent as well as Wasp's.
