Didn't expect this at all.
I think Reed will die...

Reed or Sue in my mind, doubt they would kill Johnny off after what happened to him in Civil War and the same goes for Ben as he has had alot of stories based around him changed back to his normal form.

just don't kill sue.

Death in comics is starting to annoy me. Can't we have a decent story without a death that won't probably last? But the storyline sounds interesting.

I think Sue probably. Either that or Reed.

With how they played it off with Sue dying in (I think it was Millar and Hitch's run on the series) but really turning out to be a Sue from 500 years in the future, I think it would be cheap to kill her off now. I in truth don't think anyone will die, but my best guess it would be Reed since this is all on his head, but seeing as how they've been doing some changes with Ben, I have a feeling that's all going to backfire one way or another and possibly not in a good way either. Still, I am as well super-excited for this storyline, I've been enjoying the the series (even though the Four Cities bored me a little) but the storyline where Reed tires to solve everything was fantastic! (it works okay :P) Plus I loved Epting's art when he was on Captain America and I'm liking what I'm seeing of it here too!!! ^__^

I would want it to be Reed but I think it will be Sue or Johnny being stupid. I can't see the Ben dying.

Kill Johnny. It'll be Reed. But man I want Johnny to die.

Havn't they tried this before? I remember a few years ago they made a big deal about the death of Sue but it didn't really happen. I think it was just a story they wanted to get out there. Now another possibility is taking away someone's power that would "kill" that member. If you take away Johnny's power he is no longer the Human Torch. I do hate when they tease a death because i'd rather it be shocking.

I don't think anyone will die. But if Spider-Man is replacing someone, it will be the Human Torch.  
 
Johnny, Ben, Spidey and the Invisible Woman? Not working. 

My general, and obviously hypothetical, opinions on it all...
 
Johnny Storm would be the one that gets killed off. Arguably he's the least important or key member to the FF or the Marvel universe as a whole. Being the daredevil he is I could imagine Johnny going out in a meaningful blaze of glory, a superhero game of chicken perhaps?
 
Reed is too important to the FF and the Marvel universe as a whole. His scientific genius is arguably a big cause for many of the adventures the FF go on. He's just a key figure in Marvel's universe and I can't see them killing him off.
 
Ben is also a key figure to the FF, he's the bruiser. The guy they call on when big guns are needed to clobber something or someone. If he was killed off then he'd only have to be replaced by another 'strong man' type of character which in turn would make Ben's death seem odd. Why kill the strong man if you're just going to replace him with another? 
 
Sue is arguably the glue that keeps the FF together and she's also one of the few characters that fits the 'working mum' stereotype. She's a superhero, wife, explorer of sorts and mother to Val & Franklin, killing her off means her kids are left without a mum. Not to mention she's one of the few female characters that doesn't have her cleavage on show 24/7 and still manages to get male readers a little hot under the collar. Marvel wouldn't take that away from us, surely?!

Every title has to undergo its exploitation of death at least once every few arcs.
 
Y'know, it's collective wisdom that Uncle Ben, George Stacy, and Gwen Stacy are still dead. Each death helps shape Peter and how he views responsibility. They served dramatic purpose more than simple shock value, followed by hype for when they'd be resurrected.

ugh, who cares? this is probably the worst title marvel has to offer.
just a pile of self-righteous pseudo-scientific nonsense, boring exposition. 
kill 'em all!

Since Ben is might be turn back to human I think he might be the one to go

hopefully they kill Ben " the thing"  hes the one i would care least about them killing off

If we were to take someone out, it would have to rubber boy. 
 
Besides, I don't even like these dudes.

" ugh, who cares? this is probably the worst title marvel has to offer. just a pile of self-righteous pseudo-scientific nonsense, boring exposition.  kill 'em all! "

Hey, do you guys remember growing up, and hardly never seeing a super hero in your favorite comic die?  Man, and when they did, god it turned your world upside down!  Oh man, those were some good times.  Now it seems that a super hero is dying off every week.  Not too mention constantly coming back to life.  This is starting to become similar to the whole 3D movie gimmick.  "Let's kill some one!  That will raise sales!"

They killed Ben before (the rest of the FF had to go to heaven to get back his soul). 
 
I am guessing Reed will be pseudo dead for less than an issue.  Probably more likely he will be mistaken for dead.

Maybe Sue is just invisible in the last picture... Any why does Mr Fantastic have to be stretching in every pose he does?  Okay, we get it, you can stretch..

I wonder how long that death will last

Fantastic Four has been... well Fantastic. But, this has been done to death in this book. I just hope it isn't Ben. I don't think it'll be Reed because he's been the focus of Hickman's run.

I´m not a big fan of Fantastic Four, only bought sparse issues (like Paul Pelletier's run and Bryan Hitch's too), but I´m buying # 583 and following, because I´m a huge fan of Epting's work.

Reed cant die he still has the Sentry's journal and i dont know what it says =(

I think that this comic would entertain people who are fans of the Fantastic Four and Marvel. I for one would read this comic as I am a great fan of Marvel.

I wish they'd kill Reed... but that seems unlikely. Just hope it's not Sue! :(

Please, no more death. I already had to say goodbye to some of my most favorite characters, no more! Sentry, Ares, Nightcrawler, Bullseye, Cable, and when steve rogers first kicked the bucket I almost wept. I can't think of a FF without a member. It just ain't right!

Thing won't die he's in New Avengers, my moneys on Johnny

IDK maybe I've been reading the wrong FF book, but it has seemed more random then interesting to me. Sure there is a lot going on but they can't seem to stay on track, as soon as something cool happens they move on to a new subject. They have to be at least 5 plots working in this book, including the current one of Reed's dad going back in time to recruit young Reed, Ben, and Victor for a mission, now will they continue this story or move on to another one in next issue?

oh and my money's on sue to be the one to go

As long as it's not the thing, I'm good 

I don't think it's Ben. He just joined the New Avengers. From a publishing standpoint, I don't think they'd want  to deal with the death of a character in two books. Especially not so early in New Avenger's run. 

kill Johnny Storm by drowning!

Aside from the fact they they will probably come back in a year or two, I hope it's Reed.

Please let it be The Thing or Mr. Fantastic! Or maybe both :D

I think it will be Reed or Johnny.

Wow, another death? 
 
Well it can't be the Thing. My money's on Invisible Woman.
