Marvel has released the following image this morning.

No Caption Provided

The only information we have is the creative team and month. The natural assumption is the return of the Fantastic Four (obviously). Another assumption would be the return of the Human Torch.

Honestly, I don't think this necessarily means the return of the Johnny. It might not even mean the return of Reed, Sue and Ben as part of the Fantastic Four. After Spider-Man joined the team and wore a Fantastic Four-ish costume, they got on his case about it being in poor taste. This didn't make a bunch of sense because other teams like the X-Men and Avengers have lost members and didn't disband the team. Then again, the FF have been more about family.

Although, you can argue that the team isn't completely about family as they have had other members like Crystal, She-Hulk, Black Panther and Storm, among others. Perhaps we'll see the current Future Foundation team continue with a different set of four heroes operation as the Fantastic Four. We shall see in November but the fact that Hickman and Epting are involved does make it seem more likely that we'll see some sort of return of the original team. Whether or not that means Johnny is coming back, we'll have to wait and see.

I have a feeling that it means exactly what everyone expected: the ever-predictable return to status quo.

It is WAY too soon. But I like Hickman, so I'll trust that whatever this is it'll be great.

I don't think the return of the Fantastic Four has to mean the end of the Future Foundation.

I have faith in the creative brass here that whatever this is it will be well done and exceed our wildest expectations. 

On a personal note I like the fact that they have finally defied traditionalism and let the member roster expand past four.
It's silly to think that such a group of intelligent and versed individuals would make that restriction, particularly in the
world they adventure in.

maybe it'll be a completely NEW team taking on the name Fantastic Four, maybe heroes who have fallen out of the limelight and now are having new life breath into them

me too.  I'm just getting used to the FF.  I also don't Black Bolt returning but I don't buy the book for him, so having to read the last 2 issues of his return was a waist of money.  The book is just getting started.  I wonder if the sales are down so they are rushing to bring back the F4

I definitely trust Hickman....he writes in such a broad sense that he's probably had this planned out since the beginning of his run

Hickman said at Comic-Con that he will not be bringing back Johnny Storm, he did say that he will be doing a story on Johnnys last fight and how he died. 
I have a feeling it's going to be a new Fantastic Four team, with new members. But what I noticed is Fantastic Four ended at #588, and FF will be on issue #11 when this comes out, making the issue coming out in November issue #600 as they stated, hope that doesn't mean the end to FF.

Maybe Johnny somehow manages to make it into space from the Negative Zone (Blastaar does it all the time) and becomes another one of Marvel's cosmic heroes, with a foursome of other cosmic heroes. Human Torch and Nova team up would be bad ass. Ya know....if Nova were alive -.-

Or he hooks up with Crystal...again. (Ronan move aside...)

Oh  yeah, I remember hearing that Hickman said that  Issue #600 is the 50th anniversary  issue that will show Johnny actual death, (yes this means he really is dead). I believe Hickman said that what he was doing the comic later this year when asked about the 50th anniversary.

Are FF sales low? 
 
I really hope they do not go back to the status quo so soon mainly because I do not read Fantastic Four but have enjoyed some issues of FF.

it would be cool to see a new roster of heroes for the fantastic four, cause i do feel they can be replaced which probably sounds really harsh, but its just my opinion

I bet this is a bit of misdirection; perhaps the Frightful Four will return in a big way.

Calm down everybody and follow Hickman's interviews. This IS NOT THE RETURN OF THE FOUR OR JOHNNY!!! This is the 96 page 50th anniversary issue that Hickman was talking about at his CCI panel. FF is safe as long as he's the writer and Johnny will remain dead. He's said it in every interview since it happened and has yet to change his tune. In fact, all the speculation has only made Hickman more adamantly stress that Johnny's dead, though he's absolutely certain that the next writer after him will immediately bring Johnny back.

It had better not. I haven't read Future Foundation yet, but it looks great. If we had to only have the Fantastic Four OR the Future Foundation, I would prefer the Future Foundation. Also, I doubt they're bringing Johnny back this early, and I certainly hope I'm right, because if he comes back already, his death won't have meant much.

There are 4 artists named on the teaser.  I'm thinking that it's one artist per member. 
Johnny will come back...eventually.  Show how he "died" all you want.  Death still has almost no meaning at The Big 2. 
There will be a Fantastic Four.  The only question is, who will be in it?  There are no guarantees, at this time, that any of the original members will be there. 
I refuse to make any predictions as to who will be in the team, if there even is one. 
I prefer to just sit back and see what happens.

I think it's safe to say that Johnny isn't returning. Hickman has said it himself that Johnny won't be returning in his run.

Unless Marvel ignores their own writing, Human Torch will be back before the Fantastic Four returns.

(0) I love the Fantastic Four. 
(1) I love the Idea of the FF. (Reed Richards is always a fun character to hate on because he thinks his fantastic science can save everything when it usually does more harm than good.) 
(2) I loved the events leading up to Johnny Storm taking a vacation in the Negative Zone. 
(3) I loved the first few issues of FF and felt the 'Stop the Evil Reeds' is a great plot! 
 
... 
 
then they turned the book into Blackbolt and the Inhumans... and I stopped caring.... 
 
Just like I stopped caring about the New Avengers when the book was mostly about the 1959... (which all it had going for it was a giant whale jumping out of the water and eating nazis.) 
 
why do they keep using books to bring back or play up other books? 
 
why can't they just tell a fun story so I want to buy more issues? 
 
I still think FF should be good, but focus on FF. :p 
 
I still think the current New Avengers team would be good. and now that the 1959 angle is over (which I hear they're releasing their own 1959 avengers books soon) I might start picking up new avengers again and see what all this Mockingbird stuff is about. :p 
 
... 
 
as for the Fantastic Four getting Johnny back... when he returns from the Negative Zone, he better bring Lyja back with him. ;-) he needs someone to ground him for a while. :)
