This book was amazing. I'm pretty sure there is a combined view for one of these covers and the three issues before it.

They're from the Onslaught Reborn universe not the Heroes Reborn universe.

"Will this end be 4ever"
Such a cool wordplay.

Ugh.. I have to wait to read this. Reading in trade sometimes sucks.

LOVE the variant covers for this. I know we're going to be seeing Reed active as a scientist throughout the MU, Sue in SHIELD, & Johnny in Inhumans, but does anybody know where Ben is going to show up after the FF? Aunt Petunia's Nephew has always & always will be one of my favorite characters.

Johnny is the only one we know will be active in some way after Secret Wars.

Reed is one of the main characters in Secret Wars so I know he will show up somewhere it's all done.

Both Ben and Sue are unknown. Which worries me a bit as they are my top two favourite heroes. Sue's S.H.I.E.L.D story was a one-off so she has no certain place to go after this.

I really hate the re-numbering bit.

Love the throwback covers.

@dondave: onslaught reborn? Its Heroes Reborn. Yeah. Look it up.

@bigman1227: The Thor in the Heroes Reborn Universe is dead, The Hulk eventually was returned to his home dimension as was Captain America and others.

The Onslaught Reborn universe however actually has a Thor who is alive and their own versions of the Avengers.

Onslaught Reborn. Look it up.

What are those universes?

The Heroes Reborn Universe is a universe created by Franklin Richard to save the lives of various heroes from being killed during the Onslaught Saga. The Earth was eventually taken out of Heores Reborn universe and put on the other side of the sun in the 616 universe.

The Onslaught Reborn universe is identical to the Heores Reborn universe expect that all the Heroes were created by Franklin whereas in the Heroes Reborn universe he'd just provided bodies to put he souls of the heroes into and agve them new memeories so they wouldn't remember their former lives. Eventually most of the hereos from the Heroes Reborn universe went back to their lives in the 616 universe whereas the Onslaught Reborn Heroes are native to that universe.

@dondave: Cool, thanks for explaining that to me.

No problem

So sad to see this go.

Man I hate that too. I really like Sue, & Ben...Ben has always been one of my favorite characters. I've always felt he represents a lot of the good thing in the MU...a "monster" with a heart of gold, humor & a never-say-die attitude, a hero from back in the day when the word actually meant something, even before he became the Thing...he works best with the FF of course, but he's also a great solo character & a team-up character. Whenever I want a lil' pick me up, I know I can always pick up an old issue of Marvel Two-In-One to cheer me up. Works every time. It'd be awesome if they could do that again, have Ben in a team-up capacity. He is like the "Kevin Bacon of super-heroes" after all. And Sue- I think she could work on an Avengers team, regular of Secret, or SHIELD with her powers. I just hope that they rent forgotten about- they are far too great of characters to be in limbo like that.

Me too. The FF is & always has been a comics cornerstone. It really is the end of an era...

The second cover combines with issue 644's cover.

5.99? No way. Gotta admit though, they are throwing the FF away with a bit of style.
