After
the Fantastic Four member Johnny Storm was torched-out in Fantastic Four #587,
it was asked who would replace him, if anyone? None other then the famous wall-crawler Spider-man! It is not much of a surprise since
Spider-man’s alliance with the Fantastic Four goes back to the first issue of
his own series, The Amazing Spider-man #1 back in 1963. He had asked them then if they wanted
to hire a new member for there team and now they have finally given him an
answer: yes!
The new series with Spider-man as an active member of the
Fantastic Four re-launches in March: though they will no longer be known as the
Fantastic Four. Instead their will
be a name change – the team will become known as the Future Foundation, still
enabling it to keep the slang term FF even if the new name sounds like some
kind of space brigade.
Future Foundation will continue to be made by Jonathan
Hickman and Steve Epting. The new
costume designs will be drawn by Marko Djurdjevic and the variant cover art
will be done by Daniel Acuna and Stan Goldberg. Expect the premier issue of Future Foundation in late march,
along with variant covers and a blank cover.
