Spider-Man Joins The FF

But it's not the exact FF you might be thinking about.

No Caption Provided
No major surprise but Marvel has announced that Spider-Man will be joining the FF but it's not the FF you think it is. After the Fantastic Four lost a member, there will be no more Fantastic Four.  
 
In March, we will see the introduction of the biggest new super hero team of the century. The surviving members of the Fantastic Four join with Spider-Man and some top secret members to form an unstoppable force: The Future Foundation. Their mission is a simple one: save the Marvel Universe from its greatest threats and prevent future dangers from arising.  

 “ 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.”  

How secret will the team members be? What will the rest of the Marvel Universe think of this team? Was it really necessary to disband the Fantastic Four?  
 == TEASER == 
FF#1 is on sale March 23. It's written by Jonathan Hickman with pencils and cover by Steve Epting (Daniel Acuna, Stan Goldberg and Marko Djurdjevic provide a variant covers).

What are your thoughts on this new team? Who else do you think will become a member?

Haha. Daken would make a great replacement for Johnny in terms of pestering Ben.

" Spiderman is to good for the team logo. "

I take it to mean the the three remaining FF members are the building blocks of the new team, hence the blocks logo.

I love the outfits, but they simply could have changed the 4 into a 3.

Tell me about it. One minute their in mourning the next they are smiling and having fun. I mean don't get me wrong it's nice to know that they're moving on but Johnny just died a few weeks ago.  
They should form a congo line and have a parade or something because they are already in a party mood.

I don't think we needed a new team in the marvel universe. I know it replaced the Fantastic four, but why expand it? At least the title is in good hands...

I know Spidey has had more costumes than The Beatles had number one singles, but holy cow that costume is pretty slick. Great creative team has made the Fantastic Four (not anymore) a great read and made them truly interesting once again

Floating head is is one of the Intelligent Mole Men born from the devolved mole men that discovered the High Evolutionary's underground city. The kid on the Hover Bike is Artie, depowered mutant. Valerie gave him a helmet to mimic his old psychic projection powers.

 The new costumes are interesting, but I much prefer the classic ones.  It will be a nice change of pace though.

I predict a future series where many of the primary heroes get burnt out from working too much, due to all their affiliations, and the villains capitalize upon their weakness.

That's Dragon Man, not Grey Gargoyle.  Anyway, this looks more like the Royal Flush Gang than the FF. I don't get the appeal at all.

Oh that's so original to dress them in white-black clothes (there is no x-force). And they so sad about Human Torch death. And this is so interesting and fresh concept of world-saving team. Oh, almost forgot, sign on their chests - 3 segments, and we all know that there will be more than 3 characters in this team, but - who cares?
P.S.: Sarcasm. This is awful!

I knew it. I knew this Future Foundation thing wasn't just a random thing Hickman threw together. Interesting concept, they're definitely keeping the hype around the First Family going. I just don't know how I feel about having Spider-Man on two Avengers teams, hitting his big time in Horizon Labs, and now on the Future Foundation...overexposure. He is on more teams than Wolverine now o.O

Don't much care for the FF, but I absolutely LOVE Hickman and have heard great things about his run, so I'm In. I don't reading ASM anymore. The story's just don't interest me these days, so I'm glad to be able to get my Spidey fix from a great writer. Hopefully it's a 2.99er

@Backflip: Maybe if Marvel would stop killing their characters, maybe they would have enough to join these random books instead of the same characters joining multiple teams....just a thought

Is the guy in the very back of the Fantasticar Strong Guy aka Guido from X-factor fame? I've always liked Leech and it's great to see him fighting again.
 
I'm not going to say what I think the "rotating" emblems on the surviving F4 members remind me of. Still, why that particular shape? O.o

its good to read that there is lets bitching about this team on here unlike marvels facebook page most people we complaining about the team having spider-man. the reason prob is that everyone here well most understands why and knows the history between spider-man and the ff who better to have than the best friend of johnny and spider-man joining a team he wanted to be on since the start. 
 
i do agree spider-man is in alot of comics well adding this he is in spider-man, the avengers, new avengers and now FF to much? do think he should be on one team of the avengers only i dont see the point in being in both. 
 
its same as wolverine (whom i dont think needs to be an avenger, he is in 6-7 comics well 6 after wolverine and jubilee ends 5 issues.    
 
x-men
astonishing x-men
uncanny x-men 
uncanny x-force 
wolverine  
wolverine: best there is   
avengers  
new avengers
 
but he is an x-men so its a given he will be in the moxt of the x-men comics. that was the main thing every body said spider-man in to many things i dont really see the prob  might only be for a little while anyway
