You know, I've got to wonder why comic companies even waste their time trying to reboot their biggest properties at this point. Blah blah you killed the Human Torch? Suuuuuuuure you did. Just like you killed Reed. And Sue. And how many times did they bump off Ben Grimm? And how many times has one or more of them quit the team for some reason, and been replaced, only for the original to inevitably return?
On the bright side, this sure-to-be-abortive reboot promises to be highly entertaining, albeit not in the way Marvel intended. The Fantastic Four are now the Future Foundation, they have new white and black costumes with hexagons on them, and Spider-Man is now a member. And yes, they gave him a reverse-Venom suit. See for yourself with the gallery on the next slide.

Reed’s costume needs more camel toe.
SUE’S! I meant Sue’s.
Oh Marvel, you wacky bastards. Dead Torch,Reverse venom suit, that’s hilarious.
What makes this even worse: they didn’t show Johnny being killed, they just showed him being overwhelmed by people. Lame – they should at least have to do some work for the retcon, explain why we saw his heart monitor tick down to zero or something.
But really? Spider-Man? Unless this ties into his comics in some way, then I don’t see how he’s going to have the time. Unless it’s a clone.
Johnny shows up a year later: “They stripped me naked and used me sexually, you jerks! You couldn’t send somebody to so much as find my corpse? Screw you guys, I’m joining the Avengers!”
This looks more like something the Venture Bros. would do.
