I guess Franklin Richards is not a member of the Future Foundation, which means his dad will be spending a lot more time with his sister and less with him.
Franklin’s disappointment at being picked over by his father (terrible drawing of his face there, by the way) turns into “future Franklin’s” willingness to do anything–even kill–to make sure that Franklin’s all over the realities have a father. That all comes later, of course.
Frank and his pal Leech get Johnny Storm to take them to get the newly released Impossible Man toy. Which is on sale at “Arcade Toys.”
Yeah, of course Arcade is there. He says he’s given up his criminal life and just makes toys now, but of course that’s a lie.
This leads to an adventure featuring Impossible Man.
While that’s happening, the Future Foundation figures out how to cure Thing for one week out of a year.
Meanwhile, Ted Castle and his robot wife escape Nu World and come to earth, while back on Nu World, Banner Jr. grows into being The Maestro (an older version of Hulk). This messes up my character tags, since I had tagged Banner Jr. and Maestro separately. Ugh.
Finally in the Nu World timeline, Ultron Collective continues to grow.
Maaan I only read the Fantastic Four run that did the whole Future Foundation story which is, what, like 570? I should know…I’m collecting the singles…
I didn’t realize how long Hickman was on the book. I do like that Reed likes Valeria more (since she’s smarter than him) but I love how Franklin turns out and how much Val grows to envy him. Their dynamic (past, present, future) is so so good. Hickman does a really good job of team synergy. Hell it took him until Avengers #11 to do that this time around!
Oh wait no I’m stupid and have totally read this. I JUST FORGOT.
Also I have like 600 through the end of Fantastic Four and the start of Hickman’s series which is why I got confused…
With the constant renumbering and rebooting, getting confused is quite understandable…..
