Jonathan Hickman has weaved the FF, Future Foundation, former Fantastic Four into something nearly as complex as his his SHIELD with this third issue of the new series.
In scenes that are both comical and alarming, invitations are sent to the mad geniuses of Marvel - Mad Thinker, Wizard, Diablo and others. Invitations to an audience with Doctor Doom, at the Baxter Building, with the express purpose of brainstorming ways to destroy Reed Richards. What makes this interesting is that Reed and the rest of the FF are right there with them.
As the mysterious actions of Reed's daughter Val are explained, we learn that she was involved with the stranding of The Reeds in our universe... The Reeds being a collection of multiple Reed Richards' from various alternate dimensions in the Multiverse.
Imagine an interplanar Illuminati with no emotion and no regard for the needs of our little Universe. That pretty much sums up the Reeds, who are attempting to destroy whatever it takes in our lone Universe so they can return to saving the "many". Our only hope is that between Doom, our own Reed Richards and papa Nathan, and the gathered Intelligentsia, a plan can be devised to stop these Reeds from doing some very bad things to our world.
FF #3 is in-store today, Wednesday May 11. Issues 1 and 2 are still availalbe on the racks!
