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!

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.

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!

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!

Mutants are forever! The Resurrection Protocols have changed everything for Homo superior. No longer can humans' hate and fear take mutants' lives from them. But what else has it changed? What does the Crucible mean for the souls of mutantkind?

Solve everything! Inside a room kept secret from even his closest friends and family, Reed Richards had scrawled upon the walls 100 of the biggest and boldest ideas his brain could produce. And, recently, he added a 101st, the most audacious ever: "Solve everything." It would be a mantra that would lead the obsessively intellectual Mr. Fantastic to doing great works on behalf of humanity - and, in typically fantastic fashion, lead him into even greater trouble!

An older version of Franklin Richards travels from the future with an ominous warning for his younger sister Valeria: a conflict is approaching, a clash between four extraordinary cities. And now the Fantastic Four, humanity's premier explorers and imaginauts, launches a series of incredible adventures into four unique and bizarre lands. Deep beneath the Earth's mantle, the remnant of a mad experiment gone awry begins to rise.

Jonathan Hickman ushers the Fantastic Four into the Heroic Age! Reed Richards assembles a band of genius youngsters to help him speed up progress in mankind's pursuit of tomorrow.

Galactus is ready to feast, and only Reed Richards can save the inhabitants of Nu-World. Sue Richards is mediator between the long-lost tribe of Old Atlantis and Prince Namor, who is itching to mete out ages-old vengeance.

THE WAR OF FOUR CITIES ESCALATES AS BLACK BOLT RETURNS, DETERMINED TO RECLAIM HIS THRONE. AND AS THE WAR EXPANDS TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE MARVEL UNIVERSE, THE FUTURE FOUNDATION IS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE! WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN FOR MARVEL'S FIRST FAMILY?

We've teased it for years; now, discover exactly how Dr. Doom and the Future Foundation will save us all. The battle between the Council of Reeds and the Future Foundation extends through the Bridge - and spills over into the world now controlled by the Mad Celestials.

The Future Foundation explores the furthest reaches of the Marvel Universe from Wakanda to the Negative Zone, encountering the Wizard and the Universal Inhumans along the way! Plus: What horror lurks inside Spider-Man and Human Torch's bathroom?

Jonathan Hickman's epic story reaches its stunning climax! Earth is under simultaneous attack on multiple fronts. As the Future Foundation and its allies struggle to hold back the Kree Armada, Annihilus' Negative Zone forces prepare to enter our universe through a portal in the Baxter Building. And a fate far worse is coming. If Earth is to be saved, it will take help from Galactus, the return of an old friend - and a miracle.

No matter the obstacles, the Fantastic Four deal in miracles. Whether it's a trip thousands of years into the future or past, an expedition to the fantastical African nation of Wakanda or a mission to help one of their oldest friends, Marvel's First Family strives against the unknown and the unthinkable. And now, the stakes are higher than ever.
